No time to lose is my take away.
I wouldn't board an aircraft, a bus, a train, a ship or even get in a car that had a 5% chance of crashing. Now AMOC collapse is closing in on over 25% probability we are all being boarded to a mad future.
Excellent eye opener of a presentation. Educate yourself, watch it.

This doesn’t look good to me.
Highly important to understand:
This is how ocean heat uptake efficiency looks like with heat increasingly accumulating at shallower depths, with MHW expanding and intensifying combined with a cloud feedback and winter time heat release to the atmosphere
We are already deep in the red!

Record warm ocean temperatures continued in September across the North Pacific Ocean, with a number of consequential impacts (including on downstream weather patterns).

Too vast to comprehend, the volume of waste generated by Australia will soon also be beyond its capacity to deal with.

Notice to flat-Earthers in Earth's Eastern Hemisphere witnessing a Total Lunar Eclipse right now
Once again, please alert the authorities if your eclipse tonight looks like this:

Probably the most significant scientific studies to watch over the next several years. Seems kinda grim at the moment.
That disastrous reshaping of the world's ocean currents that would leave the EU in an ice age & shift the world's fertile regions thus causing persistent global famine?
According to science, it's no longer "low probability."

Regardless of context or circumstances, “We can’t just ignore the president’s desires” has got to be one of the strangest phrases ever uttered by a standing vice president

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Looking at some survey data here. Trump/Elon cutting off all cancer cure research is the issue that freaks voters out more than any other, also the one they've heard the least about. Important for voters to hear more about this.

Global sea ice continues to set new record daily lows. Yesterday's record low extent was 2,053,000 square kilometers below the 1991-2020 average.
I know I've been posting these images a lot lately, but the ongoing collapse of global sea ice is quite obviously the top story on the planet right now.

@johnjharwood.bsky.social points out that LBJ in 1965 foreshadowed Trump/Musk in 2025:
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice that you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, he'll empty his pockets for you.”
“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice that you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, he'll empty his pockets for you.”
