Three orthographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in February 2026, December 2025 to February 2026, and March 2025 to February 2026 in the Southern Hemisphere while looking downward at the South Pole. Blue shading is shown for colder anomalies, and red shading is shown for warmer anomalies. The mean surface temperature anomaly for each region and period is also shown in the upper left of each map. Anomalies are computed relative to 1981-2010.
Temperature anomalies over the last month (left), 3 months (center), and 12 months (right) across the Southern Hemisphere. Red areas denote warmer than average temperatures and blue areas colder than average.

Line graph time series for Arctic sea ice volume in every February from 1901 through 2026. Two datasets are compared between PIOMAS-20C (a blue line) and PIOMAS v2.1 (a dashed red line). There is large interannual variability, but a long-term decreasing trend since 1990.
Modeled reconstruction of February #Arctic sea ice volume since the year 1901 - comparison between PIOMAS-20C and PIOMAS data sets now updated through 2025 (2nd lowest)...

βFor me, the most ironic token of [the first human moon landing] is the plaque signed by President Richard M. Nixon that Apollo 11 took to the moon. It reads: 'We came in peace for all Mankind.'
