Witkoff tries to praise Netanyahu in Tel Aviv, but has a hard time finishing his thought because of booing

Repost from @resistancerangers.bsky.social on IG- I know we're about to declare war with Iran, and there are so many fronts to this continuing shitzkrieg, but this one, this right here, hurts my little raccoon soul most. For the love of all that's green and blue, keep calling.

We need to stop this bill!

Psst…the only way to stop climate change is to stop burning fossil fuels. Pass it on.

@billmckibben.bsky.social can you DM me? Thanks!

Gloating? On losing our retirement savings? You think Democrats are not American? Somehow we are immune? It’s not our jobs that are cut? Not our finances? Who are you?

Agreed

Moving away from high-end emissions scenarios I have a new commentary in Dialogues on Climate Change exploring climate outcomes in current policy scenarios

New post on The Climate Brink from Zeke @hausfath.bsky.social about our climate future. With current policies, we’re on track for a bit less than 3C, with 2030 NDCs we’re on track for about 2.5C, and with net zero pledges we’re on track for a bit less than 2C.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold.

We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940.

2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

I support Ken Martin!

Simulated reconstruction of December #Arctic sea ice thickness since 1901. Large interannual variability, but watch what happens in recent years...

Information about this data: doi.org/10.1175/JCLI.... Data set only available through 2010.

Line graph time series of 2024'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 white for the 1980s, green for the 1990s, blue for the 2000s, and purple for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2002 to 2022. 2024 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 October and January by looking at the decadal average line positions.

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

• about 600,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,140,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,690,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,110,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Beaches of Anapa may become unsuitable for human habitation for years. Also, the Kerch Strait water area may be polluted due to the change of wind.

Breaking News!

An extremely dangerous level 8 heatstroke alert has been issued for Santa's reindeer.

This graphic gives the 12-month running average for Mauna Loa CO₂ since 1959, with a quadratic trendline (in red).

An R² of 0.9995 is overwhelming evidence that atmospheric CO₂ growth is accelerating. And at present, CO₂ is above the trendline!

The climate 8-ball says: "Outlook f&%ked, try again."

Looks optimistic to me!

Line graph time series showing global land surface temperatures (90°S to 90°N) in a red line and global mean surface temperatures (90°S to 90°N) in a blue line. Temperatures are averaged annually from 1900 through 2023. Line trends are also shown from 1990 to 2023. The land is warming faster than the global mean.

As a reminder, land areas (where we live) are warming around twice as fast as the oceans. Subsequently, most of us are 'experiencing' temperatures rising faster than the global mean record.

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of December in 1984-1993, 1994-2003, 2004-2013, and 2014-2023. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest over the Arctic Ocean.

Well it's December, which is another month that observes particularly large #Arctic amplification. Here's a view of those temperature changes by decade...

Ahead of House Vote on Bill that Would Stifle Dissent, ACLU Sounds Alarm Again | American Civil Liberties Union H.R. 9495 was narrowly blocked last week after members of Congress received more than 100,000 messages from constituents urging them to oppose

The House is set to vote Thursday on HR 9495, a bill that would give the incoming Trump administration new power to muzzle, punish, and effectively shut down tax-exempt organizations without transparency or due process. VOTE NO!

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each January to October period from 1900 through 2024. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Global mean sea surface temperature anomalies (departure from average) so far this year ➡️ highest on record

Data from NOAA ERSSTv5 averaged over January to October.
