Hurricane Melissa passing over the Caribbean, as seen by the IASI satellite, which “observes” cloud temperatures. Winds exceeded 250 mph!

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas. You've all heard that cow farts contribute to global warming, but it's actually cow burps that release CH4...

There you go, the ozone hole that returns every year, but is no longer growing. Proof that international environmental regulations work!
On the left are temperatures in the polar vortex, on the right are ozone concentrations for the last 30 days.

IASI-NG - Day 8: Engineers found this image in the launch videos! The raptor survived 😀

A look back at the exceptional heatwave at the end of June/beginning of July in France and Belgium: > 35°C measured at ground level for a week, that's 6-8°C higher than the average for the previous 15 years on the same dates.

A very sunny June in Europe, as seen from space

Guess how much of the ocean floor humans have visually explored?

Less than 0.001%, the size of the blue square shown on the map of Belgium in the image below. More in this paper : www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

These 2 maps compare mortality in urban areas in Europe, between 2015 and 2099, for an “optimistic” and a “pessimistic” scenario. In green, the lives gained where it will be less cold; in purple, the excess mortality due to heat peaks. It's the Mediterranean region that's taking the biggest hit.

It's not moving fast enough, but it's heading in the right direction...

There are around 600 active volcanoes, with some 60 eruptions recorded every year. This image shows the sulfur dioxide (SO2) emitted by 4 volcanoes and carried by the winds, as observed by satellite in November.
