Pakistan contributes less than 1% to global carbon emissions, yet it is among the countries most vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

In recent years, Pakistan has withstood multiple catastrophes, including floods and heat waves that have killed thousands and affected millions of people.
One after another, Pakistan endures successive climate disasters
On the morning of Aug. 15, a cloudburst that poured more than 150 millimeters (6 inches) of rain in one hour triggered a flash flood in the city of Buner, located in Pakistan’s northwestern province…

I truly believe that while the risks of climate change are existential, connecting the dots to impacts on health, the economy, etc. is how we build a big tent and turn the tide against fossil fuels for good #greensky

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

He put 39% tarrifs on Swiss watches, then launches his own cheap knock offs probably made somewhere in Asia.

These watches appear to be ripoffs of famous designs. Likely from some factory that normally produces "homage" watches and they just swapped out the branding.

This didn't happen:

W: Do you have proof that the records haven't been kept?

V: Well...

W: Yes but do you have evidence to back up your claims?
Otherwise you are speculating or lying.

September #Arctic sea ice extent since the year 1850 - comparison now updated through 2025

I have a couple of other sea ice reconstructions on my website too: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...
Line graph time series of September Arctic sea ice extent for every year from 1850 through 2025. Two datasets are compared in this time series. The Walsh et al. 2019 reconstruction is shown with a solid blue line. The NSIDC Sea Ice Index v3 is shown with a dashed red line only for the satellite era. There is large interannual variability and a long-term decreasing trend over the last few decades.
