Attention people of The West:
I think they are crumbling under the pressure. Maybe skip the fireworks? If only to save the Washington State Dept. of Natural Resources from losing the last shreds of their sanity.
The extent of global sea ice is more than 1 million square kilometers below the previous record for the current date. This year is particularly a result of the anomalous Antarctic.

Breaking news :/
Based on daily data, the atmospheric CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa averaged ~424.0 ppm over May 2023. That's ~3.0 ppm higher than last year, and that's a lot.
It is also the highest monthly average on record, and most probably of the last 15 million years.
