"EPA erases references to human-caused climate change from websites"

"The agency modified sections of its website by deleting information about human-created greenhouse gases and the role they play in warming the planet. It also removed links to scientific data and information."
EPA erases references to human-caused climate change from websites
The agency revamped its webpages to feature natural causes of rising temperatures such as the Earth’s orbit.

"Extreme optimism says don't worry, everything's going to be fine. Extreme doomism says there's nothing you can do. Both of them have an enormous kind of psychological attraction in that way. They let you off the hook." - Rupert Read

Hi All, free weekend update is out. This was the best week for Ukraine/Europe since November 5, 2024. The new US Security Strategy confirms without a doubt that Trump is out to attack Europe (and cripple Ukraine). After months of a con, the truth is undeniable. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The US is saying the quiet parts out loud..

'We reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net Zero” ideologies'

'Expanding our net energy exports will also deepen relationships with allies [..] and enables us to project power.'

Is this the 'ally' Europe wants to depend on for its energy supply?

I always find it interesting to compare emissions from different countries with similar populations

Data tells many stories.

H/t to @ourworldindata.org to make this so accessible.
(Can you please update this dataset with (corrected) numbers up to '23 & include an option for per capita?)

In some ways, Trump has already devastated Ukraine in the USA. He has taken his "deal" that under any other administration would be seen as appeasing a dictator and selling out a democracy, and had it repackaged by the herd as a necessary compromise.

Those are 30-year linear extrapolations.

I've asked them a while back to add an option to change the time period and/or extrapolations and was told they'd look into it, but it still hasn't happened yet.

At least they made the code available, which we used to make this:
bsky.app/profile/leon...
Even during a La Niña, the rate is still accelerating (third-order derivative).

See the updated nonlinear 30-year trend extrapolation bringing +2°C even closer.

As Risk = Likelihood x Impact, this is a BFD (Big F*cking Deal).

Most experts stick to playing with straight rulers however. 🤷‍♂️

Your 'moment of doom' for Nov. 30, 2025 ~ Hot!

"suddenly the Southern Ocean belches its accumulated heat, leading to a rate of planetary warming similar to what humanity is causing right now... the thermal burping would continue for at least a century."

www.livescience.com/planet-earth...
Antarctica's Southern Ocean might be gearing up for a thermal 'burp' that could last a century
When humans manage to cut enough emissions and eventually reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

It's been quite something to see one of the world's leading climate scientists, James Hansen, being vilified the past years for presenting data showing the rapid acceleration of global and regional warming, associated with continued greenhouse gas emissions and rapid reduction of air pollution.
