There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of November in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest along the Eurasian coast.

Gates went into the weeds after he wrote this great book. The world at 1.5 deg C is going to be ( or is ) worse than thought.

Global map showing surface air temperature trends for each November period from 1975 to 2024. Only land areas are shown. Red shading is shown for warmer temperature trends, and blue shading is shown for colder temperature trends. Data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTempv6.0.0. The temperature trend scale is from -0.5Β°C/decade to +0.5Β°C/decade. Most areas are warming, though there is some spatial variability.

Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests Researchers attempt to calculate the number of deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

The 3-year mean rate of atmospheric CO2 growth just hit a new record high reaching a growth rate of 7.88 ppm per 3 years for October, 2025. This breaks the previous record high of 7.83 ppm per 3 years, from February, 2019.

I've read this book. It is a highly recomended excellent review of what is happening ( pending catastrophe) and what to do ( many things fast). Why does Gates now pivot at the worst time ( when Bozo is our Super Callous Fragile Racist Sexist Nazi POTUS) ?

Yes and your comparisons are excellent and accurate, and that's how low we have to go. (?) The end result is terrorism. Our leaders have failed us.

imo, redistricting is anti democratic. I hated the idea from the start with the idiot Newt. Two wrongs don't make a right. But yes I voted for it, given the morons we have as leaders put us in this ridiculous position.

After a modest decline over the first half of the year (and after record 2024 warmth), global temperatures are ticking back up. The past two days have been the warmest on record for this time of year in ERA5 and the highest temperature anomalies since January.

Trump hosted a dinner last week for White House ballroom donors.

Then he went to Mar-a-Lago for a $1 million-per-person dinner benefiting his super PAC.

Last night, he treated big GOP donors to dinner on his new White House patio.

The government has been shut down for 22 days.

The last 3 years have been the hottest in 125,000 years.

CO2 levels are their highest in about 12 MILLION years.

Scientists predict 4C+ this century & BILLIONS of deaths.

Not interested in this? Then you should consider a career in centrist politics & the mainstream media.
