The CO2 data for November, 2025, was just released by NOAA, and the 3-year mean rate of atmospheric CO2 growth hit yet another new record high, at 7.93 ppm per 3 years.
That dip in the early 1990's is due to Mt. Pinatubo.

🌊 Serendipity often drives science forward.
A “lost” Argo float drifted under Antarctica’s ice shelves and resurfaced with a warning: warm water is creeping under major glaciers like Denman and Totten.
What’s at risk? Up to 5 m of global sea-level rise.

What our missing ocean float revealed about Antartica’s melting glaciers
Our ocean float spent years adrift in the Antarctic ocean and beneath massive ice shelves. What it found will help us estimate global sea-level rise.
