Polar stereographic map of 2-m air temperature anomalies in the Antarctic for September 2025. Red shading is shown for warmer anomalies, and blue shading is shown for colder anomalies. There is a sharp gradient in temperature anomalies across the region. Anomalies are calculated relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Last month observed above average temperatures across large portions of both the #Greenland and #Antarctic Ice Sheets. Anywhere in dark red shading is more than 5ยฐC warmer than the 1981-2010 climatological average.

Make no mistake.

The recent incursions in our skies are part of a pattern of growing threats.

Itโ€™s time to call it by its name.
This is hybrid warfare.

Europe must get the capacity to respond and protect our skies.

Work has begun.

Sorta difficult for Congress to perform its constitutionally mandated oversight when the temperamental toddlers in the Trump administration petulantly keep everything out of plain sight.

How refreshing to see a party leader calling out right wing shit rags for being right wing shit rags.

So refreshing after my Tory (now ex-) MP claimed on my doorstep (and he believed) that the Daily Mail reflects public opinion.

Once again, the Telegraph seems shocked that the EU is acting likeโ€ฆ the EU.

Europe's ambition must be a Union that does more to protect its people.

That is fairer and more united.

That makes lives better and less complicated.

Marine heatwaves modulate food webs and carbon transport processes - Nature Communications A decade of BGC-Argo and plankton records shows North Pacific heatwaves reshape food webs and trap small particles in midwater, slowing deep-ocean carbon export. Impacts vary by event, underscoring the need for sustained ocean monitoring.

๐ŸŒŠ Marine heatwaves and the carbon cycle

A new study shows that marine heatwaves can disrupt food webs and carbon transport in the NE Pacific.

One significant - & dangerous - thing to watch for is professional commentators objecting to words rather than examining the evidence. It's pearl-clutching & cowardly, obviously, but also a deliberate attempt to avoid confronting exactly what they themselves are facilitating and often cheering on.

Lords Heseltine & Kinnock seem more alive to these self-evident truths than most members of the Commons. Similarly, I find thinkers with direct lived experience of far right dictatorship, Greeks of a certain age for example, crystal clear about whatโ€™s happening now.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

Kemi Badenoch brushing aside the inevitable crashing out of the Tory negotiated Brexit deal if the U.K. leaves the ECHR?

Honestly, there is no way the EU are ever going to negotiate a return to the EU or indeed the SM and CU with these batshit extremist politicians in the U.K.
