What I find most disturbing about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock is that last week the temperature in parts of Antarctica was 38.5 °C above normal. Another thing about the Oscars that bothers me is that the Great Barrier Reef is suffering mass bleaching.

The recent extraordinary heatwave in Antarctica appears to have set a new World Record for the largest temperature excess above normal (+38.5 °C / +69.3 °F) ever measured at an established weather station.
