👏, at least some countries take climate change seriously and respect the science? Or just luck?

I made another set of maps for @climate.us with final polish by @annamaps.bsky.social

These show snow cover & snow cover difference for the past two months.

Data from the Rutgers Global Snow Lab: climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/do...

#climate #cartography
Four maps with a perspective from above the North Pole. The top two show monthly snow cover in shades of blue for December 2025 & January 2026. Most of Arctic North America and Eurasia were covered in snow 100% of the time, with the amount of snow cover falling off at lower latitudes. The bottom two images show divergence from the 1981-2010 mean snow cover. Brown and beige shades are below normal, blues are above normal. In December snow cover America was well below normal on North America. By January it was above normal in the East, but below normal in the West. In Eurasia high latitudes had normal snow cover (i.e. persistent snow cover), while lower latitudes, including Milan & Cortina, Italy (site of the 2026 Winter Olympics) had below normal snow cover.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me!
It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/

Between its mild start and its frigid ending, the eastern U.S. is one of the few areas on Earth where temperatures *didn't* end up above average for January 2026. Almost everywhere else, the ever-warming band played on. From @drjeffmasters.bsky.social:

yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/02/desp...
Despite Eastern U.S. cold, January 2026 was one of the world's warmest Januaries on record » Yale Climate Connections
Near-record warmth in the Western U.S. gave the contiguous U.S. an above-average temperature for the month.

Hurricanes are getting stronger: This study found from 1992-2021, Cat 1+ hurricanes globally intensified by 1.74 m/s (3.9 mph) over the 30-year period, and that a cold bias in IPCC climate models "probably contributes to an underestimate in projections of major hurricane frequency.”

For those familiar w/ "ARkStorm/ARk2.0" flood scenarios for California, a comparable event has been unfolding on the Iberian Peninsula. These ridiculous rainfall accumulations, caused by a long series of extremely moist atmospheric rivers, have brought widespread severe flooding to Spain & Portugal.
wxnb.bsky.social Nahel Belgherze @wxnb.bsky.social · 5d
Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Nice tool! I like how they give a 1-year, 15-year, and 30-year probability of a wildfire burning your property. There's just a 0.28% chance in 1 year for the sample property I show below, but a 7.56% chance over 30 years.

Some people ask me, why track record temperatures? More heat does not affect me, so why should I care? Because record warmth is a big symptom of the climate's health over the last few decades, giving us warning of what may come. Heed the drip drip drip coming into the Titanic. @katharinehayhoe.com
