Same here... eh boboy
With less sea ice in this area over the last few years, many more baby seals are stranded on the shore:

Europe had its least snowy winter (Dec-Feb) in over 50 years. #ThisIsFine
Q: Have winter (Dec-Feb) temperatures have changed (trend) over the last 85 years?
A: F*ck
Imagine if they also had to deal with the Phoenix pay system...
While all of this is happening to our scientific agencies, the current extent of sea ice globally remains at record low levels...

Sunday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data)
• about 740,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,340,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,720,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,260,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Just another typical late winter season in the Pyrocene -- "Wildfires rage across the Carolinas...More than 175 wildfires burning across SC and additional fires in NC... Much of eastern US seaboard under increased fire risk." www.yahoo.com/news/wildfir...
December-February 2024-25 temperature ranking since 1895-96 according to Prism climate data. Globally, this was the 2nd warmest Dec-Feb period, but the Contiguous U.S. was the outlier. Congrats!
Pass it on.

This is very concerning.
"Earth’s plants and soils reached peak carbon dioxide sequestration in 2008 but proportion absorbed has been declining since, study finds"
Another paper showing climate shocks lead to support for climate action among conservatives. Analyzing data collected in Florida, the paper finds Republican positions change after personally experiencing loss from climate-exacerbated extreme events.

Don't forget that this is considering a species distribution model (SDM) When using a multimodel approach, which includes both SDM and process-based models, iy appears that aspen might take advantage of increased climate-induced disturbances. Up to a certain point...
Such conclusions also apply to #forest landscape #model projections over species distribution models

Ice Watch - Time to start tracking the annual maximum #Arctic sea ice extent. A new record is definitely possible this winter. Stay tuned.

A trifecta of fire-friendly climate conditions fueled the January 2025 fires around Los Angeles: back-to-back wet winters that boosted vegetation, a record-dry fall, and extremely strong Santa Ana winds. See the map for how drought helped set the stage.

🔥🌲 Feux de forêt & climat : un sujet brûlant au Machin Club !
J’ai eu le plaisir de discuter de la saison record de 2023 et du rôle de la science pour mieux comprendre ces événements extrêmes. 🌍🔥

Looking back at temperatures averaged over the last 3 months - find your location...
🟥 warmer than average
🟦 colder than average
Dataset (NOAAGlobalTempv6) described in doi.org/10.1175/BAMS...
❗️Highest temperature ever recorded this early in the year across the Northern Hemisphere.

4/ 🛠️ Why does this matter?
➡️ Changing pest distributions impact forest health & management
➡️ Increased defoliation risks in new areas
➡️ Need for proactive strategies to reduce vulnerability
3/ 🌎 Most importantly, climate change is a bigger driver of SBW dynamics than landscape changes!
This means forest ecosystems are being reshaped faster than we expected, requiring adaptive management strategies.
2/ 📈 Key findings (1950–2022):
📍 +68 km northward shift of suitable climate conditions (up to 200 km in some areas!)
⏳ Earlier phenological events & higher reproduction rates in the north
❄️ Increased winter mortality in the south due to warmer temperatures
1/ 🌲🔬 New Research Alert! 🌡️🦋
#ClimateChange is reshaping forest ecosystems, and the spruce budworm (Choristoneura fumiferana), a major boreal forest defoliator, is feeling the heat! 🔥
Our latest study in PLOS Climate reveals some striking trends. 🧵👇
Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data)
• about 780,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,450,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 2,010,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,370,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Sometimes it is only one side of the #Arctic that experiences anomalously low conditions during winter, but this year we are seeing the sea ice edge on *both* the Atlantic & Pacific sectors at very low levels for this time of year. This is contributing to the historic record low for early February.
How unusual were 2023 and 2024 compared to the global warming trend, averaging an increase of around 0.2°C per decade?

More acres have been burned by wildfires in January 2025 across California than in all the Januarys of the past 30+ years combined.
Unreal.
