Less sea ice leads to less sunlight reflection back to space, more (high latitude) heat uptake and even faster ice melt.

Worth a read if you have a few minutes. Sober and scary climate analysis that also holds some possibilities for hope.

If our years ran from November to October, 2025 would be the second warmest year on record.
Probably in >100,000 years and potentially much longer.
Sea Surface Temperatures are now likely already higher than during the Eemian warm period, when global sea levels were ~7.5m higher!

Melanoma, pancreatic cancer, and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) are each serious clinical challenges due to how common or aggressive they are and how poorly they often respond to treatment. Which is why researchers are determined to develop an effective treatment for all of them.

Most of the savings were on gas bills.
