You'd have to be, as Monty Python said, "DOWNRIGHT DAFT!" to feel welcomed by last January, the hottest January in 140 centuries. And 2025, so far, has offered floods and fires everywhere.

Welcome to a 2-year-old global heatwave that could only be ignored by a dictator bully traumatized by a nightmare father and a variety-pack of humiliations in early life.

What better time to be a Fool!
