The Earth energy data just came in from CERES for October, 2025, and guess what? Right. A new record low for the 36-month running average for Earth albedo, now down to 28.689%.
The Climate 8-Ball says, "fewer clouds, less ice, more tequila."

A simple cut can wake up a dormant plant. Paper shows how a wound instructs buds to resume cell division and sugar transport, driving them to sprout.
