Imagine if another species was as invasive as we are and building road like us. I think we have lost respect and understanding for the ecosystem we are a part of.

One of the most shocking graphs I've made.

Using NASA CERES data, IPCC forcings and very low-, mid- and very high- climate feedbacks multiplied by the NASA GISS temperature trend.

If the NASA satellite data is right, the IPCC forcings and feedbacks are likely all wrong

Your 'doom quote' for today:

"We are running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe."

F*ck!

🚨The ocean is losing its ability to store heat as the planet warms up🚨

With a record high rate of heat accumulation, that means that more heat is available to warm the land and atmosphere, and to melt ice.

Both relatively and absolutely.

Which is exactly what we see!

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent anomalies in red shading compared to each year from 1979 to 2024 using shades of purple to white for each line. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is currently a record low. There is substantial interannual and daily variability. There is also a long-term decreasing trend.

The magnitude of the current size of the #Arctic sea ice extent anomaly is unheard of in the satellite-era record for the deep winter season months.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Milliardær køber kæmpe grund i Nordsjælland og blæser til kamp mod landbruget Milliardær køber kæmpe grund i Nordsjælland og blæser til kamp mod landbrugetDen lysegrå decemberhimmel hænger lavt over de bølgende marker syd for Rågeleje i Nordsjælland, og ikke en vind rører sig.

In case you missed it: 2024 was the world's warmest year since @noaa.gov records began in 1850.

Global surface temperature was 2.32°F (1.29°C) above the 20th-century average. The 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade.

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.

If everyone would just stop fighting, there would be peace on Earth! 🕊

Not realistic?

Try to genuinely imagine what it would take to realize net zero in time to keep global warming below 2.0°C.

We are crossing 1.5°C as we speak.

Let's keep it real!

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss.”

“Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike, even in winter.”

Graph showing ECMWF ERA5 global temperature data. Monthly anomalies relative to 1850-1900 preindustrial baseline.

It has the text:

"Global warming reached an estimated 1.45°C in October 2024.
If the 15-year warming trend leading up to then continued, global warming would reach 2°C by August 2039"

And shows the trend line reaching above IPCC projections.
