Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between September and December by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 3rd lowest on record (JAXA data)

• about 740,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,500,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 2,120,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,400,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Turning Point shares big part in dumping Spilsbury during Mesa recall — azcentral The recall race to oust Mesa City Councilmember Julie Spilsbury from her seat was a victory for conservatives who wanted her gone.

Sounds like this shift occurred in a number of places. Unfortunately not here in Mesa. They had a recall on a City Counsel woman. The Turning Point group drove the issue. She had endorsed Kamila in the election.

How Venezuela’s Military Might Respond to U.S. Attacks

How would Maduro’s military respond to a U.S. attack? Venezuela has an arsenal of Russian weapons and armed civilian militias that could mount a guerrilla war, @simonromero.bsky.social reports: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

That’s Great News 👍🙏🏻

Letter from a climate activist: “It is time for every leader to prove that they value people over polluters. My generation will not stop pushing for policies that match the science and protect our future.”

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

‘If it was anybody else, we’d arrest him tomorrow,' Justice Department aide said of Trump A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Department official didn’t have authorization to see them.

Yes it is..

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Thank you for posting this.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Map of September to November sea surface temperature trends in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea. All areas are warming over the 1982 to 2024 period at around 0.4°C per decade. This data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1.

Here's now a map view of the warming of the Caribbean during the months of September to November. While there are many environmental factors that impact hurricane intensity, this warming certainly plays a role in fueling that rapid intensification.

The satellite presentation of Melissa is just inmpecable. Gravity waves eminating through the very symmetrical cold CDO surrounding the small highly circular 20°C eye. Very very nice banding on the eastern semicircle as well. Definetely sat presentation of a high-end hurricane.

Thank you, New York City.

Now let’s win.

Current satellite snapshot of Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean. It has a strikingly symmetrical circular appearance, with cold cloud tops evident on all its quadrants infrared imagery, along with nearly perfectly clear central eye. All of these characteristics are indicative of an extremely strong hurricane.

A remarkable, and ominous, satellite snapshot this evening of Hurricane #Melissa as it continues to move very slowly westward just south of #Jamaica. The storm will likely further strengthen into a Category 5 storm before turning northward & making landfall in Jamaica on Tue.

Screenshot that says: "Climate Central analyzes real-time data to reveal the climate change story behind every named Atlantic storm. As storms form and strengthen, our data and visuals show how rising ocean temperatures — driven by climate change — fuel tropical cyclones and influence their intensity for Melissa, Lorenzo, Jerry, Imelda, and Humberto."

"Climate change made the ocean temperatures along Melissa's path 500 to 700 times more likely."

I saw that when I was in the Navy late 70’s. I had an E-5 PO that was on this with his family of four. Shameful treatment of our service members!
