Line graph time series of 2-m air temperature anomalies for the Arctic in every October from 1979 to 2025. There is a long-term warming trend, and 2025 is the warmest on record in this time series. Data is from ERA5 with a 1981-2010 climate baseline used for calculating the anomalies.

It's not every day that both poles set new monthly temperature records (see my earlier post). Last month also observed the warmest October on record for the #Arctic Circle. Not great!!

It isn't. You are making our lives fucking harder and I'll loathe you for the rest of my miserable existence.

Please read this short thread I wrote here about @georgemonbiot.bsky.social piece on Bill Gates. But this is about far more than Gates, and even all billionaires. It is about the clique of those in the top 1% who have much greater emissions than everyone else, who literally control everything.

At least 133 people died whilst trying to seek safety in the UK last year - the deadliest year on record.

Yet the Government doesn’t officially count these deaths.

Each death is a tragedy. These fatalities must not be ignored.

The law must change so we can #KnowTheirNames.

Governments have failed to tackle the climate emergency because they are scared to stand up to the rich and powerful.

Whilst its easy to get used to scary graphs, this one made me pause! The 2025 State of the Cryosphere report published yesterday has this one overlaying observations of #AMOC slowdown against model predictions.

The report states that “AMOC shutdown appears all but inevitable”

Antarctic glacier's alarming retreat is the fastest ever seen Hektoria glacier on the Antarctic Peninsula retreated 25 kilometres in just 15 months. Its rapid melt could have implications for other glaciers and the rate of sea level rise

EUROPE EXCEPTIONAL NOVEMBER WARMTH

An extraordinary warm spell is affecting all North Africa and Europe,only excluding Italy.
42C in Mauritania, 39 Algeria,>25 in the Balkans (mins up to 19C).

Next days hundreds of records with up to 34C in Turkey.

Record heat never ends in AUSTRALIA

1. My background is in CBRN defense. I was involved in the field long before the emergence of SARS-CoV-2.

I used to essentially discount comments on social media - especially this platform - as fringe, not representative of the real world. Sadly, this is no longer the case.

After the record hot nights, record hot days keep falling.
