Climatologist Disputes Claims of Record Heat

Good morning, and thank you for joining me here for another week of The Morning Brief.

Today is Monday, August 24th, and I'm Keegan Billings with The Epoch Times, one of America's largest independent newspapers.

Now, like always, let me start with a quick look at some of our top stories for today.

Okay, first off, we have a climatologist says a century of weather data contradicts claims of record heat.

Despite perception, his study indicates a moderation of both hot and cold temperatures in the U.S. over the past century.

Next, more than 1 million foreign nationals who had been living in the U.S. with removal protections are now classified as illegal immigrants after a court recently ended temporary protected status for 13 nationalities.

In more news, President Trump made his first public comments since U.S.-Canada trade negotiations broke down.

Trump accusing Canada of wanting the benefits of being a state without being one.

Also, millions of K-12 students will start this academic year expected to complete a personal finance course before high school graduation.

And last for our health section, we have five lunge exercises that can build strength and balance at the same time without needing specialized equipment.

So stick around for that one.
