Summary

The United Nations released a major report on climate change yesterday, offering perhaps the most comprehensive understanding of how the planet is heating. Experts are urging  industrialized nations to slash greenhouse gasses roughly in half by 2030.

French President Emmanuel Macron survived two no confidence votes in parliament on Monday, all but ensuring that the French retirement age will be raised. This comes amid widespread protests led by labor unions across the country who want the policy thrown out.

And in headlines: Los Angeles Unified School District campuses will be closed today as teachers and staff begin their 3-day strike, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and six more Oath Keepers were convicted of charges related to January 6th.

0:41.7

You know, no comment. I'll save it for later. I'll save it for later.

global average temperatures are estimated to rise 1.5 degrees Celsius. That's about 2.7 degrees
