Europe must choose between further inflating the mother of all stock market bubbles or the continued survival of the human race.

Hm, tough one.

Trump administration wont remove ocean-monitoring buoys off coast after bipartisan backlash.
The National Science Foundation is reversing a decision to shut down buoys and other maritime science equipment used to monitor weather and climate conditions along the Pacific Northwest coast and elsewhere.

"This persistent loss of freshwater, known as 'continental drying,' is driven by worsening droughts and unsustainable land and water practices."

Disgusting scenes in the European Parliament. Dont vote for right wing parties you are next on their list.

I've come to the realisation if there's any sign of extreme heat temperatures now - even if it's vastly outweighed in models by 'normal' ones - that's the one that'll end up happening.

I'm still old enough to remember 30C at any point in a year wasn't that rare.

This has made me unreasonably sad. The Major Oak in Sherwood Forest has been officaially declared as dead this Spring. Such a massive part of my life. I loved going to Sherwood to say hello to the Oak. And it was one of the places I insisted we had to take the kids when we went back for a visit. Fuck climate change.

oof. El Nino is not playin.
we now sit at:

+1.88C over 1982-2010 baseline,

(ENSO area of focus doesnt include that intense heat blob off the west coast of South America, it's more central in the equatorial Pacific)

Inhumane heat index numbers in Texas today. Up to 125F (almost 52C) in South Texas

Carbon storage in (oak) trees is smaller than previously believed. This is due to the difference in the timing of growth of wood and photosynthesis. As a result, the potential for carbon storage is trees is likely overestimated.

"environmental damage caused by the world's highest-consuming 10% of people is worth $1.7 trillion to $5.7 trillion a year. At the central and upper estimates, this is several times more than the international community has committed to spend on climate action and biodiversity conservation combined"

BIPARTISAN:The Trump admin is abandoning its plan to dismantle a $368M monitoring system critical to understanding and marine ecosystems, bowing to a bipartisan backlash on Capitol Hill, acc to docs reviewed by The NYT.

The Senate passeda measure Wed that'd block the govt from dismantling the system, with lawmakers in both parties warning thatthe action would be illegal & would threaten the safety of coastal comms.

Retreating Glaciers Risk Tsunamis

On 10 August 2025, the slopes of Alaskas Tracy Arm Fjord gave way, sliding into the water. , with a 481-meter runup after a 100-meter initial wave that moved at more than 70 meters per second. The fjord was fortunately empty at the time, though it is regularly visited by cruise ships. After the landslide, a seiche ricocheted through the fjord for 36 hours.

With no earthquake to trigger the tsunami, researchers had to piece together the accident through forensics. that the glaciers retreat had left unstable slopes exposed, likening it to a childs closet overstuffed with hastily gathered toys. The moment the door is no longer held closed, everything comes crashing out.

Ultimately, the landslide-induced tsunami is, therefore, a result of climate change. That result is disconcerting, given the increasing frequency of cruise ships visiting glacial fjords. Unlike earthquake-induced tsunamis, landslide-induced ones like the Tracy Arm event dont come with a seismic warning. With rapid climate change and frequent tourism, risk management is critical.

that's bad, because and thus heat will make them untenable too

I'm leaving behind solar panels that will make clean energy for decades, plants that will feed the native ecosystem, sequester carbon & enrich the soil. These improvements *pay off* for the world & my understanding of it, even as I move on to invest in other spots on the planet.

No regrets.

Oh great its made it through all the 7 circles of bureaucratic hell & got its own ISO amendment as a recognised threat to the security of peoples existence to the extent that is permissible to say:-

"Relevant interested parties can have requirements related to climate change."
