In 2023, Earth’s average temperature reached 14.98°C, well below the average 36°C the study showed around 100 million years ago. The trend shows Earth’s temperatures have been sliding for 50 million years. …
    "Maybe, just maybe, the level of human-caused global warming doom porn pushed by the Government, corporate media outlets, global NGOs and far-Left billionaires is not as apocalyptic as they make it sound."
