Never forget: At breakneck speed we are leaving the stable Holocene climate in which human society developed and thrived. Weather extremes are outside historical experience. Sea-level rise is accelerating. Dangerous tipping points are ahead.

Winter isn't what it used to be.

It's actually the fastest-warming season for much of the U.S.

Since just 1970, winters (December - February) have warmed in 98% of 244 U.S. cities analyzed by 3.9°F on average.

Starting the first Monday of 2026, and continuing every two or three weeks for the rest of that year, I am going to be releasing searchable pdfs and annotated html of the "CO2 newsletter", published between 1979 and 1982 by geologist William N. Barbat.

It will break your heart, again and again.

Map showing which 3-month period has warmed the most over the last 75 years. For most places in North America - except for the U.S. Rocky Mountains and West Coast - one of the cold season periods is the one that has warmed the most.

This seems significant.

"U.S. GDP growth in the first half of 2025 was almost entirely driven by investment in data centers and information processing technology, according to Harvard economist Jason Furman."
Without data centers, GDP growth was 0.1% in the first half of 2025, Harvard economist says | Fortune

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now
