The dismantling of NCAR should be the trending story on Bluesky, not the fucking Oscars leaving ABC for YouTube.

Federal lawmakers called the planned NCAR closure “deeply dangerous” and “blatantly retaliatory.” Gov. Jared Polis said: “If true, public safety is at risk and science…

The 36-month running average for Earth albedo (reflectivity) hit another record low as of the latest data release for July, 2025 by CERES.

In other words, the darkening of the planet is growing stronger.

How fast is the planet warming right now?

By looking at daily decadal differences in temperature we get a rate of about 0.35°C per decade. However, the rate of warming itself is increasing and is forecast to reach 0.40°C per decade by the early 2030's.

September averaged 1.47°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline, snapping a three-month "cool" streak.

Will this heat continue? The Climate 8-ball is consulting the I Ching.

Die AfD hat sich gerade unerwartet bei der Verbotsdiskussion ein Eigentor geschossen. Und irgendwie berichtet keiner darüber, dass der Beschluss, mit welchem die Beschwerde gegen die Einstufung als rechtsextremistischen Verdachtsfall abgelehnt wurde, bedeutet, dass die AfD verboten werden könnte.

My (preliminary) assessment seems to be in line with the research @climateofgavin.bsky.social coauthored.

Even using a 15-year average, the NASA CERES estimates are tracking well above climate model based estimates:

The future rate of warming mainly depends on past, present, and future greenhouse gas and sulphur emissions.

The 0.5 W/m² forcing increase from desulphurization over the oceans is very different from a 0.5 W/m² GHG forcing.

A lot of folks asked why I through this January's record global temperatures were so unexpected.

I think this graph shows it pretty clearly: pretty much every other January with La Nina conditions has been a cooler than the surrounding years.

🛰️🌍@NASA CERES update

The most important data in the world!

A 2.0 W/m² increase of the (four-year average) Absorbed Solar Radiation over the Northern Hemisphere in 20 years!

Net-flux increased by about 1.2 W/m², which means there is a lot more warming in the pipeline.

We missed a milestone.

On January 15th, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temerpature anomaly reached 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 baseline.

Good morning bluesky. Should I publish my PhD online as open access or via publisher to get a proper printed book? Guess I'll go with first option.🙃

During this June to September period (summer), global average temperatures have been about 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the time of year.

BUT... this is not equivalent to it being a typical summer in a 1.5°C world... 🧵

A long view of global absolute temperatures really highlights just how much the world has warmed since the mid-1900s. Here are daily global temperatures in the JRA-55 reanalysis product since 1958; this year really stands out!
