Pulling out of 66 international organizations, Trump turns his back on science, facts, reason
Under the Trump Administration, international law, conserving nature, protecting children from war, developing renewable energy, and building peace are issues antithetical to US interests.

No real change in the area
Sea ice is breaking 🆙 , but slowly
Cosmetic damage is visible

Season is a bust

not much going on.
A bit more damage to the melange in the bay
Bad weather , and cold
Still lots of sea ice around

More and more damage as the sea ice breaks up
But the melange is mainly intact and stuck by sea ice

@zhonggg.bsky.social is currently on a South Korean icebreaker in Antarctica because the US is no longer a serious country. The Trump regime got rid of our Antarctic icebreaker, Nathaniel B. Palmer, so for the first time in six decades we are without a dedicated Antarctic research vessel.

Another 4 to 5 m of cliff retreat along one part of the Hemsby coastline last night. Disappointingly, the article fails to explain that the acceleration in coastal erosion is due to sea-level rise.

NCAR manages the Wyoming Supercomputing Center, where researchers from other institutions have access to high-performance computing resources (most recently Cheyenne and now Derecho) to model weather, climate, wildfires, air pollution, etc. Everyone is less safe if NCAR is dismantled.

Free will

God gave me free will.
I didn't have a choice.
Called to church each Sunday
to thank him and rejoice.

The crack in "the bay" has turned into 2 large cracks and they are now connected to the patch of open water

Sea ice is crumbling quickly and extensively outside the bay, especially North of the area

I sold my soul to Santa
but it's much too soon to tell.
If an everlasting Christmas
