Southern Express v Lahore Lions Transfers made – 1; Transfers remaining – 6 Michael Hussey out – Danushka Gunathilaka in Southern Express, as expected, were brushed aside with ease in the first couple of matches. I don’t expect it to be any different today, as well.

Today, these animals are found in five nations across the Arctic—the U.S., Canada, Russia, Greenland and Norway—split up into 19 subpopulations.

I have received death threats, and endured a multitude of attacks from conservative media outlets, Republican congressmen and attorneys general, all because of the “Hockey Stick” graph my co-authors and I published more than two decades ago.
