I could trust conservative magazine contributors, but not if they also lecture law at an Ivy League.

⬆️ Tied as second warmest surface temps
⬆️ Second warmest troposphere
⬆️ Record high sea level and GHGs

176 tiny maps (1850-2025)
Maps of temperature anomalies for each year. The progression to warmer, redder colours is evident over virtually the entire planet.
This 'small multiples' #dataviz approach is effective to show that nowhere is escaping from the warming due to us burning fossil fuels.

this is clearly driving Discourse on here
without getting too dug in on either side: I spend a lot of time in my community doing climate/decarb work without saying “climate”
and the reason is: there are lots of ways to do “decarb” that take aim at BOTH climate goals and community thriving

One answer that hit us in a big way: When we asked what jargon climate experts most want to ban, many said the word “climate” itself.

Because the ocean absorbs >90% of the heat trapped in the climate system due to human enhancement of the greenhouse effect, the best and most steady measure of global warming is the change in ocean heat content.
It continues to break records every year:

Climate risk science's greatest project successes have come in part due to transparency and reusability. We show that at the paper-level, there is plenty of room for growth. We talk about why this matters, what researchers can do, and how the greatest progress requires institutional support
🚨 Publication alert! Very happy to see our paper "Unlocking the benefits of transparent and reusable science for climate risk management" out in PNAS today. With @crispapoll.bsky.social @jdossgollin.bsky.social @bobkopp.net and many others.

For many, a 'natural death' may be preferable to enduring CPR
Despite its reputation as a lifesaver, for the elderly and medically frail, CPR may cause more harm than good. It's why many doctors opt not to receive it themselves.

"Crow in the Snow," oil on panel, 20 × 16 – Call Parsons Gallery of the West at +1-575-737-9200.
A crow standing in a wide, cold landscape – alert, enduring, simply present. Sometimes a painting isn’t about story so much as posture. How it feels to stand, watch, and hold your ground.
