Complex systems vs. the human brain is like sending a Shakespeare play to a toaster.

It’ll light up, but no idea what’s going on.

πŸ“Œ In Nature:

7Οƒ β‰  Nature

Natural variability rarely exceeds 2Οƒ.

7Οƒ means the system has changed.

Radically.

πŸ“Œ In Industrial Engineering (Six Sigma):

6Οƒ = "Perfect" process: 3.4 defects per million

7Οƒ = 0.019 defects per billion

A 7Οƒ event is beyond "perfection". It’s fantasy.

πŸ“Œ If Human Height were normally distributed:

That’s taller than a giraffe.

🌊 WHAT DOES +7 SIGMA MEAN?

Sea Surface Temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere have reached a 7-sigma anomaly.

That’s not just unusual. It’s off the charts. Here's how rare 7Οƒ is; in any system:

The Northern Hemisphere’s oceans just recorded a +7Οƒ sea surface temperature anomaly relative to the 1951–2000 mean. Such a deviation is virtually impossible in a stable system. We're now forcing oceanic change at a pace unseen in thousands of years. #OceanWarming #ClimateCrisis #ClimateFuckery

Here are the daily warming stripes for global sea-surface temperature anomalies, updated through July 17, 2025.

Can you tell that global SSTs are currently 3rd warmest on record for the day?

Today’s planet-sized mood ring glows scarlet over the North Atlantic - seas running up to +9 Β°C hotter than the 1971-2000 memory.

The ocean speaks in steam; hurricanes listen. Laugh at the metaphor now, hear the thunder later.

Peak absurdity: debating mitigation pathways while Earth keeps setting heat records. It's like arguing over fire extinguisher brands as the house burns.

Code Yikes!

The global 2m surface temperature on July 14th set a new daily record. It was the hottest July 14th since records began in 1940 and possibly the hottest July 14th in the last 120,000 years.

The climate 8-ball advises taking the under on 17.0Β°C. Stay tuned!

Protocells self-assembling on micrometeorites hint at origins of life Micrometeorites are thought to shower down on planets throughout the universe, so the discovery that they help protocells form could tell us something about the chances of life elsewhere

"Protocells" have been shown to self-assemble on micrometeorites πŸ§ͺ

Which is intriguing as organic compounds are sometimes found on meteorites, and micrometeorites would rain down on planets 🌍 throughout the universe

Earth is trapping much more heat than climate models forecast – and the rate has doubled in 20 years Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

"In the mid-2000s, the energy imbalance was about 0.6 watts per square metre (W/m2) on average. In recent years, the average was about 1.3 W/m2. This means the rate at which energy is accumulating near the planet’s surface has doubled."

Sea life & people feel it too: fish move or die, corals bleach, low-oxygen β€œdead zones” grow, and coastal economies - tourism, seafood - take a hit. The map isn’t just a stat; it’s an early warning for millions who live with or from the ocean.

Oceans hold 90 % of Earth’s heat. When they run a fever this big, they pump extra moisture and energy into the air: heavier coastal downpours, stronger North Atlantic storms, and stickier, hotter heatwaves on land.
