Earth will warm 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels in just two years, new data shows. Irreversible tipping points — like the melting of Arctic ice sheets or the collapse of coral reefs — are closer at hand than previously believed.

"Sanctuary of Stone and Sea" - An image from the edge of the continent—Cape Flattery, where wind-swept pines and ancient sea stacks shape a landscape both with ruggedness and raw elegance.
No doubt this is one of those quintessential Pacific Northwest scenes that evoke a real sense of serenity.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

Simultaneously, sections of NOAA’s website displaying climate data have become unavailable. They are systematically going through the system, removing content at their discretion. More details to follow.

Reminder for anyone who sees Trump as a savior: He lobbied to have tiktok banned in the first place, and now he’s positioning himself as the hero by unbanning it. It’s theatrics.
