A Programming Note:
Cat Blogging is delayed until tomorrow because I haven’t seen a cat outside all day. We had rain on Thursday and then it got colder, so the cats are in hiding. It should warm up tomorrow.

The BBC version” 2014 warmest year on record, say US researchers
2014 was the warmest year on record, with global temperatures 0.68C (1.24F) above the long-term average, US government scientists have said.
The results mean that 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have occurred since the turn of the century.
The analysis was published on Friday by Nasa and Noaa researchers.
Last month, the World Meteorological Organization released provisional figures that predicted the past 12 months were set to be record breakers.
The warming wasn’t uniform, for example the Eastern US was below the average temperature. Overall however the oceans and polar regions are warmer.
Don’t expect the news to change the mind of people whose paychecks are contingent on denying the reality to please their masters in the fossil fuel industries.
