La Nina is here and the global cool-down is well underway (global mean sea surface temps are lowest since March 2023).
Remember it's not the individual ups & downs that matter, it's the steady warming trend, which will continue until we reach zero carbon emissions.

As a Navy vet, I’ve seen how public service teaches you the kind of social and job skills that can change your life’s trajectory. Think about how much stronger our country could be if young people had more opportunities like that — military or otherwise.

We've recently created a new collection of legacy maps in our Catalogue, which will be added to over time. For now, we have 3 interesting maps available to view and download: data.bas.ac.uk/collections/...
The Scotia Arc is one of our favourites. The map was a massive compilation effort at the time!

This is typical of the kid gloves treatment of Bill Gates pivot toward Bjorn Lomborg-style climate downplaying that we're seeing from legacy media. The beltway reporters are entirely complicit in what some are rightly terming an ecocidal plutocratic agenda.
