No data, no words, no problems.

Proudly brought to you by the Department of Dumb.

We are, most probably, the only species to foresee its own extinction - and perfect the means to achieve it.

We measured collapse, celebrated it as innovation, and called the ruins progress.

We are making every effort to complete the job as quickly as possible.

Cities will drown, then burn, then rebuild - smaller, meaner, hungrier.

Borders will harden; people will move anyway.

Children will grow up asking what “normal weather” used to mean.

And we will tell them stories of seasons that once knew their place.

The air will taste like heat.

The rains will come all at once - or not at all.

Fields will turn to dust, rivers to memory.

Food will be scarce, water will be currency.

How's the climate doing?

The oceans are boiling.
The poles are melting.
The records are burning.
And the silence is deafening.

Chapter 10. The Venus Syndrome & Runaway Climate James Hansen

Draft Chapter 10 of Sophie’s Planet, Venus Syndrome & Runaway Climate (mailchi.mp/caa/chapter-...) is an introduction (also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/p/chapter-10...). Quantitative analysis with insights on climate physics will follow.

Looks like our global 'keep calm and carry on' strategy is working perfectly... the oceans are definitely carrying on, right into hotter temperatures. Nothing to see here, just the planet's thermostat breaking.

The oceans are boiling in shades of red.

Relax, infinite growth on a finite planet always works out fine.

We, and young people, need help from people who understand the essence of climate science. See Forest versus Trees - columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailin... or its abbreviation - mailchi.mp/caa/seeing-t... also available on my Substack - jimehansen.substack.com/p/seeing-the...

2025: "DU HAST WAS FÜR EINE HEIZUNG?!?"

Verwandtschaft beendet. 🔥❄️

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.

BREAKING

Der neue Temperaturrekord für die Türkei #Tuerkiye ist offiziell: 50,5 Grad.

No better therapy than some laps of 25.378 km of fear, joy, and questionable decisions.

Thanks again, Nordschleife. 🧠💥🛞

📌 In Nature:

7σ ≠ Nature

Natural variability rarely exceeds 2σ.

7σ means the system has changed.

Radically.

📌 In Industrial Engineering (Six Sigma):

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

7σ = 0.019 defects per billion

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

📌 If IQ were normally distributed:

7σ = IQ of 255

Einstein? Nowhere close.

No human has ever scored near that.

📌 If Coin Tosses were normally distributed:

7σ = 1 head out of 390 billion tosses

You’d wait longer than the universe has existed to see it once.

We just saw it in the ocean.

📌 If Human Height were normally distributed:

+7σ = A person 3.50 meters (11.5 feet) tall

That’s taller than a giraffe.

It simply doesn’t happen.

🌊 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 7σ is; in any system:

aaahhh

The Northern Hemisphere’s oceans just recorded a +7σ 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

Sounds like a dream plan, but the risk of nightmares is high

Made a mistake and watched the news.

Oh boi.

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 °C hotter than the 1971-2000 memory.

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