Endangered Hawaii

Your bonus 'doom quote' for today:

"The 'runaway' climate threat now is the danger that today’s accelerated global warming will push Earth past a 'point of no return,' with irreversible consequences for today’s young people and their descendants."

One last graphic showing Arctic sea-ice volume, running second behind 2017, this one using the "monthly average" volume posted by PIOMAS.

The accelerating Arctic sea-ice catastrophe is bad enough, no need to catastrophize.

Data: psc.apl.uw.edu/wordpress/wp...

I should add that this calculation does not take clouds into consideration.

With clouds (approx. 70% cloud cover on average over equatorial regions) we're looking at 120-140 km each direction N & S of the equator. This is about 150-175 miles across from N to S.

I just did a more rigorous computation for increasing Earth's albedo (reflectivity) using 92% efficient mirrors.

To get back to year 2000 albedo levels, we only need a band about 84 km wide (42 km North & South of the equator) of mirrors circling the earth.

The more you know!

Climate Change Could Cut Grasslands in Half by 2100 Climate change is shrinking grasslands, threatening livestock, food security, and millions of livelihoods worldwide.

For those on tenterhooks, yes, Arctic sea-ice extent is still below the record low maximum extent, set just last year.

Latest JAXA data
Mar. 2, 2026: 13,496,796 km²

Record low maximum
Mar. 21, 2025: 13,783,274 km²

Normalcy bias in action. Overall, folks think we are slightly less f&%ked today than we were a year ago...

We've Drastically Underestimated Sea Levels, Putting Millions at Risk, Study Warns An analysis of coastal impact assessments revealed that the majority are not based on direct sea-level and land-elevation measurements—that's troubling.

Your 'moment of doom' for Mar. 4, 2026 ~ Expecting worse than expected.

A Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) perches atop a post surrounded by water. Its back is to us but its head is visible in profile.

The #BirdOfTheDay theme is #PerfectLighting. This cormorant (although overseas viewers might know it as a great cormorant), I think, fits the theme nicely.

The job of ICE goons is to fill up all detention centers with us; Americans, any race, creed, or color. It doesn't matter, their job is to fill them with us.

If you're an American citizen, don't think you're safe. ICE goons & Donald don't care, and they don't care if you die in the process. 👠

DOJ's recent 6th Circuit filing misspelled:

Voters as “Votors”

United States as "United Staes"

And, it included a non-party in the caption.

These are the people who want access to your sensitive voting records and who my team fights in court every day.

My thoughts on Fox News Sunday after the first 24 hours of war with Iran: This is a war of choice. We all want a free and democratic Iran. But overthrowing authoritarian leaders with force has not historically led to democratic, pro-U.S. governments rising in their place.
