Yes, I'm biased. But I feel this analysis of the data offers some fresh insights into how we experience #climatechange.
And a definitive answer to "but Australia has always been hot..."

See Hawaii’s Kīlauea volcano erupt with lava fountains shooting 1,300 feet into the air. Via @live_science #seismology #EarthScience #RocksForJocks #Geology #Volcanology 🌋
Lava fountains from Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano reached about 1,000 feet, prompting temporary closures near the summit crater as ash and volcanic debris fell across nearby areas.

Watching the current fountaining episode of Kilauea. The V1 camera has been replaced and has a microphone. The wind has been blowing tephra in its direction and you can hear it falling.

Two spheres of radiating cowlesite crystals on a green clay mineral. Zeolites are abundant in boulders scraped off the top of an Eocene basalt flow in order to make the logging road along Big Tree Creek, 3.8 miles east of the railroad tracks in Yacolt, Clark County, Washington. Boulders and dirt was piled along the south side of the road and into the trees making finding the boulders and collecting in them difficult. No rock cut was found containing the same mineralization. The site was found by Jim Babcock of Vancouver, Washington and was made known to other collectors by Vi Frazer. Like most logging roads, the area is closed to collecting and gated. Collected by me on 7 May 1989.

White hexagonal prisms of fluorapatite with brown dendrites associated with dark green clinochlore and quartz. The location given is how Mindat lists it. This is not from the main quartz collecting area but from a small roadcut some distance up the road from the quartz area. These must be etched out of calcite filling the cavities in the rock. Collected by me on 8 July 1989. Vinegar was used to etch the calcite thus leaving the fluorapatite.
