Dr. Mae Jemison, MD, the first black woman in space and first actual astronaut to appear on a Star Trek show, one of the very few people on this planet of whom two pictures can be posted depicting them doing their job on a spaceship with entirely different contexts.
2018 was the fourth hottest year since modern recordkeeping
began. NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration work together to track temperatures around the world and
study how they change from year to year. For decades, the overall global temperature
has been increasing.
Over the long term, world temperatures are warming, but each
individual year is affected by things like El Niño ocean patterns and specific
weather events.
1.5 degrees
Globally, Earth’s temperature was more than 1.5 degrees
Fahrenheit warmer than the average from 1951 to 1980.
The Record
139 years
Since 1880, we can put together a consistent
record of temperatures around the planet and see that it was much colder in the
late-19th century.
Before 1880, uncertainties in tracking global temperatures were too large.
Temperatures have increased even faster since the 1970s, the result of
increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Five Hottest
The last five years have been the hottest in the modern
record.
6,300 Individual
Observations
Scientists from NASA use data from 6,300 weather stations
and Antarctic research stations, together with ship- and buoy-based
observations of sea surface temperatures to track global temperatures.
The Consequences
605,830 swimming pools
As the planet warms, polar ice is melting at an accelerated
rate. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets lost about 605,830 Olympic
swimming pools (400 billion gallons) of water between 1993 and 2016.
8 inches
Melting ice raises sea levels around the world. While ice
melts into the ocean, heat also causes the water to expand. Since 1880, sea
levels around the world have risen approximately 8 inches.
71,189 acres burned
One symptom of the warmer climate is that fire seasons burn
hotter and longer. In 2018, wildfires burned more than 71,189 acres in the U.S.
alone.
46% increase in CO2 levels
CO2 levels have increased 46 percent since the late 19th
Century, which is a dominant factor causing global warming.

The Eastern District of Texas
is home to a crooked court that is in the pocket of patent trolls,
handing down ludicrous rulings in favor of the trolls, whose “head
offices” are tiny, unoccupied offices in empty, dusty office buildings,
the rent on which entitles patent trolls to claim that their rights are
being infringed in the demense of the Eastern District’s terrible
judges.
A report in Macrumors cites “five sources familiar with the
matter” and claims that Apple is now planning to shutter all the Apple
Stores within the Eastern District, replacing them with a giant store in
the Galleria Dallas, just over the line from the Eastern District,
reported to be opening on April 13. The closures were officially confirmed by Apple in a statement to Techcrunch.
Such a move would help Apple avoid the Eastern District’s jurisdiction,
escaping the residency requirement that cases be heard “where the
defendant has committed acts of infringement and has a regular and
established place of business.”
