This is absolutely staggering.

Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns).

This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every September from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each September from 1850 through 2025 for only the midlatitude region of the North Pacific Ocean. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline. 2025 is a record high.

Probably not quite as old as this though.

Electrification is vastly more efficient than combustion technologies:

🚘 An electric car uses about 75% less final energy than an ICE car.

🔥 A heat pump delivers about 4x more heat for the same energy input.

Note: Of course the exact efficiency and saving will differ between models and context.

At the people’s vote march of over 1 million people, the news crews were huddled around a group of half a dozen noisy brexiters. They’re children in a playground chasing their adrenaline not the news.

As I said...

Tweet from Nov 6 2024: America is a failed Democracy.
Our media failed us, our institutions failed us, our people failed us.
Worst of all, we now pose a major threat to the planet.

The targeted killing of Anas al-Sharif and five other journalists on Sunday means at least 242 Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli forces since the beginning of October 2023.

No conflict in modern history has seen a higher number of journalists killed.

Three images on top of each other. Image 1: A photo of Adolf Hitler with writing that says, Second World War: 1939-45: 69 journalists killed. Image 2: A photo of US soldiers walking across a field with writing that says, Vietnam War: 1955-75: 63 journalists killed. Image 3: A photo of Gaza with writing that says, Gaza: October 2023-present 242 journalists killed* *United Nations figures
