Life will go on if the Libs die out. There is no need for them to ever regain power. Donor-led policy, greed, maladministration, misogyny, racism and stupidity are fundamentally incompatible with power in Aus as we’ve just seen. They can’t just conjure a believable rebrand.

NOAA polar data threat: sea ice, glacier photos, snow … @antarcticsciaus.bsky.social @antarctic.bsky.social

Zack Labe @zacklabe.com · May 6

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

"As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported."

Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.

Sorry to hear it Zack. Hopefully something great around the corner.

Sorry to hear this Zack. Hope you can find a way through and it’s just a blip, because your work is too good to lose.

I think we’ve seen more bums on saddles from the mass participation rides run with TDU and Cadel’s ride - the short family rides more than the regular amateurs. You prob don’t get that with stage races of course. Not sure it’s mode shifting.

Yes. Strategic idiocy.

Any chance of some Climate 200 options for the Senate, rather than the majors or cookers? Or do the numbers not work?

It feels like we’ve learned nothing from the Trump early years. And I doubt anyone will be able to keep up when they fully launch.

The Wide Angle: Who Can Stop Elon Musk?

When Elon Musk threw his support behind Donald Trump’s campaign in the summer, most analysts perceived him as just another wealthy donor, albeit one with control over a major social network. But Musk ...

Depends a bit on price and taste. More money than a Celica? Perhaps a BMW 2002 or Alfasud if a little bit Euro. Torana from Harry Firth’s workshop if Aussie. Or are we talking 260z/MG/911 turbo and he doesn’t take the race number off the door level wanker? 🤭
