An Eerie Light Notes on the unreality of the moment from the smoky east

“I mean: Canada’s boreal forest is heating up, drying out, and catching fire, and the reason that it’s hot and dry is, above all, the clouds of carbon dioxide that Americans have poured into the air—and which the GOP is doing its level best to increase.” open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

Two polar stereographic maps side-by-side showing Antarctic sea ice concentration and its anomalies relative to 1981-2010 for July 2025. Red shading is shown for less ice, and blue shading is shown for more ice. More areas are below average than above. Antarctica is masked out in grey shading.

This graphic shows a map view of sea ice departures in July 2025. Red areas indicate less ice than the 1981-2010 July average, and blue areas indicate more. For instance, ice continued to grow slowly in the Bellingshausen Sea region.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Bob Dylon ish. Thanks Kev

July 2025 #Arctic sea ice extent was the 4th lowest on record for the month...

This was 1,810,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. July ice extent is decreasing at about 6.87% per decade. Data: nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

In the Golan Heights, Druze are loyal to Syria. But that loyalty is now severely tested Sectarian violence in recent weeks in Syria's Sweida region has left more than 1,000 people dead. Druze in the Israel-occupied Golan Heights say they feel betrayed by Syria's interim government.

A few days ago I had the privilege of reporting in the misty Golan Heights to report on the dynamics between the majority Druze there, the Druze in Syria, and the new government in Syria as deadly sectarian violence exploded in July.

Just start calling him a Pedofile. With his history he couldn’t deny it couldn’t be true. He has a long history of affection for young women.

We’re watching our Democracy being destroyed.

That’s different! 💙

We are now guarantied breaking the 2°C threshold with this administration.

I wonder how long this data will be available with the shrinking science funding here in the US.

Re-upping this given the news that our beloved US icebreaker N.B.Palmer, whose portal I took this pic from, may be lost from science.

👍Take care!
