OH CANADA! What an incredible honour. Thank you for the extraordinary opportunity to carry the flag into the Opening Ceremony at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in PyeongChang. We hope to make you proud. 🇨🇦❤
The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.
Canada’s two largest metros, Toronto and Montreal, see six trains per day in each direction that take a little more than five hours. Madrid and Barcelona are the same distance and see 35 trains per day each way, taking as little as 2 hours and 30 minutes. Canada deserves better.
You may think the closest planet to Earth is Venus or Mars, but they actually aren't.
Mercury is on average the closest planet to Earth: it is closest to Earth 46% of the time; Venus is closest 36% of the time, while Mars is closest just 18% of the time.

I've received a delightful complaint from a reader detailing all the errors in one of my books. Every single error with page numbers and corrections.
Problem is, every single one of the errors they've flagged isn't an error.
It's merely an instance of UK English.
Every one.
Things began to look very unusual two months ago.
Today the charts need no commentary, they speak for themselves.
This is the Atlantic.
