Chris Piecuch shows how the rate of sea-level rise along the US coast has doubled since 1900, from 2 cm to 4 cm per decade. It has risen by 40 cm by now.
Here he briefly explains this (and how the DOE claimed the opposite) at the AGU25 meeting last week.

As a Ukrainian, Listening to Marco Rubio saying they are trying to find things Russia and Ukraine both can live with honestly sounds as either lack of understanding what is happening or deliberate attempt to imitate the process .

Trump betrachtet die Ukraine als Problem auf dem Weg einer Normalisierung mit Russland.

Wenn man diesen Gedanken an sich heranlässt, ergibt sein vermeintlich erratisches Verhalten Sinn.

Die Europäer wollen diese Tatsache aber nicht zur Kenntnis nehmen, weil sie sehr unangenehme Folgen hat.

Guter Auftritt im Presseclub.
Wenigstens einer der sich gegen Sozialabbau ausspricht. Das kommt immer als Erstes, aber Steuersenkungen fuer Gastronomie sind Ok.

There are numerous reasons why Trump and his government’s pervasive blathering about turning Canada into the “51st state” shouldn’t be dismissed as a “Madman Theory”-negotiating tactic, or as performative MAGA trolling. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Trump's Threat To Take Over Canada Is a Scandal
Trump keeps threatening to annex Canada. Americans would never accept such talk from another country.

Today we had an (excellent) newsletter arranged, with me taking a day off. But I was so angered by Trump's shameful betrayal of Ukraine that I wrote a short plea that we all do what we can to oppose and reverse it. It will be difficult. But I think we need to try.

Putin invaded Ukraine because he believed that NATO was weak, that his efforts to regain control of Ukraine by other means had failed, and that installing a pro-Russian government in Kyiv would be safe and easy.
