We’re filling the atmosphere with CO2 like a bathtub with water. Most of it stays for millennia.
That is why the cumulative emissions (the total amount, as pictured here) and not yearly emissions determine the amount of #globalwarming.

The Pentagon reversed plans to cut off critical military satellite data used for hurricane forecasting.

The data, vital for tracking storm intensification, will keep flowing through Sept 2026 after experts warned losing it could delay life‑saving alerts.

My paper "Social media for fisheries science and management professionals: How to use Bluesky and Instagram, and why you should" is formally published in an issue.

It's a how-to guide to using Bluesky, the first ever published in the scientific literature! 🧪🦑🌎🐟

Global mean sea surface temperature anomalies (departure from average) so far this year ➡️ 2nd highest on record

Data from NOAA ERSSTv5 averaged over January to June.
Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each January to June period from 1900 through 2025. There is large interannual variability, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.
