So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.
Important: circulations rule feedbacks!
Hence, change can happen fast
"Then in January and February, strong winds from the south pushed sea ice outward in the Weddell Sea. This slowed the overall decline in extent, leading to a near-average minimum," Scambos said.

Lyse Doucet explains the nature of 'double tap' attacks, notes we saw these attacks in Gaza and observes "we've seen that again in this conflict"
I wonder why that is. Doucet doesn't say.
An ancient Irish rainforest, overwhelmed by invasive sika deer and rhododendron. As these trees die of old age, only the rhodo remains.
Most of Ireland's only 1% or so of surviving native woodland is dying, almost all due to invasives like sika, goats, sheep, and rhodo.
We could do SO much better.
How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

"Compounding the problem, climate change is creating more opportunities for bird flu to spread across species — including humans — as unpredictable weather and warming winters impact avian behavior."

The UK Society for Motor Manufacturers and Traders today hosted a parliamentary gathering to discuss EVs and their roll out across the UK and Europe.
As oil shocks hit the world (again), a transport system using renewable electricity must be the future.
Greens coming out strong from the election in Baden-Württemberg, as has the blue Nazi party, while weak red SPD, which is managing status quo with the black CDU at the federal level, is non-existent. CDU has an electorate that traditionally makes the cross until they have a cross on their graves.

Spring forward... Fall back... whatever.
Can we just pick ONE & stick with it once & for ALL?!!! ⏰
2) Overshoot will not be temporary or even reversible. Some of the proposed plans to reverse temperatures are, upon inspection, extremely threadbare, serving as little more than mood music intended to maintain optimism. The reality is that large-scale carbon dioxide removal, does not exist. 5/11
Suppose it’s simply asking far too much to expect a senior RTÉ business journalist in 2026, as the #climate crisis deepens by the month, to have grasped that continuing to drill for fossils fuels is shooting ourselves in the head, never mind foot?

The Economist was wrong about the Iraq war. Wrong about austerity.
The Economist keeps being brilliant at being bad at economics.
Maybe change the name to The Propagandist?

It's not just gas prices that are surging thanks to Trump's war.
Fertilizer costs could rise too — and send food prices skyrocketing.

Winston Churchill quite literally asked the Americans to overthrow the very popular socialist Iranian government in 1953 because Churchill wanted the UK to keep extracting Iran’s oil wealth without paying for it.
Please do be a bit more historically aware.
Happy to see @drjamesehansen.bsky.social on here!! Definitely a must follow for anyone who cares about/wants to understand climate change and the worsening climate crisis!
European pre-industrial agriculture was actually good for plant diversity. This according to a study that showed diversity slumped with the Black Death as human population crashed and land was abandoned and rewilded itself.

Much of what is happening in the world right now has to do with the lack of open, critical education and mindfulness. Yes, likely also of you and me. We did let this happen.
Richard Murphy's YouTube channel is always extremely well produced and thought-provoking.
Log-scale chart showing cumulative individual days above six temperature thresholds from 0.5C to 2.0C since 1940. By September 2025: 800 days above 1.5C, 139 days above 1.75C, and just 6 days above 2.0C. The curves steepen and shift rightward at higher thresholds, illustrating the pattern this analysis investigates. Credit: @reescatophuls.bsky.social
2/ Inspired by @reescatophuls.bsky.social's brilliant cumulative days charts, if you look carefully, there's a pattern hiding in plain sight: the gap between the first daily occurrence at each threshold & rapid accumulation is shrinking at each level.
I wanted to measure that gap precisely.
“Iran struck a desalination plant in Bahrain as the war entered its ninth day…The strike came after Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said a US airstrike damaged an Iranian desalination plant on Qeshm Island, warning that in doing so “the US set this precedent, not Iran.”
The USA seems to have spent the last 70 years creating various hells around the world - Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Chile, Iraq, Afghanistan…
If they are the “world’s policeman” they have applied a US model of policing to this endeavour, one with little relationship to justice.
Chart showing the exponential collapse of the lag, extrapolated to 2.0C. Reference points show 10, 20 and 30 year lag scenarios projecting 2033, 2043 and 2053 respectively.
1/🌡️ Global warming passed a milestone on 17th Nov 2023 that barely made the news
For the first time ever, the world's daily average temperature was 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels
Here's what the data says about when that becomes the annual norm, & whether it's coming sooner than anyone expects🧵
I'm sure it's just a massive coincidence that they used all the same words, ideas and punctuation.
Over 97% of public comments submitted to the commission reviewing Trump's ballroom oppose his White House vanity project.
So who is this monstrosity even for?

Remember the wealthy have been the ones collapsing our climate the fastest through their idiotic selfish short termed idiocy.
