On June 9, 2023, the sea surface temperature averaged over the North Atlantic was 3.6 standard deviations above the mean (based on the 1991-2020 climatology).
On June 9, 2024, it's 4.1 standard deviations above the mean.

A 1991-2020 climatology already looks irrelevant and outdated. 🤯

The ocean takes up nearly 90% of the heat trapped inside the climate system by our emissions, and about 30% of the carbon we produce as well.

Why don't we talk about this more? The only answer I can think of is, because we don't live there. Yet our life depends on it, all the same. #WorldOceanDay

Global Warming's Six Americas
Researchers at Yale have found that Americans' opinions about climate change can be divided into six categories. These categories help us better understand how people think and their motivations for taking action or not. By listening and finding common ground, we have a better chance to inspire action in all people.

With 9 days remaining, it looks like the average temperature in May will break the previous record for the month by an absurd 1.5 °F in Miami. The current record is 82.4° (set in 2010) and my best estimate is that May 2024 will end up around 83.9°. Here's what that looks like:

Why? Because trade unions were crushed. Because tax rates for the very rich were slashed. Because any regulation that big business viewed as constricting was loosened or eliminated. And, perhaps most importantly, because *rents* were allowed to soar.

#IDthought 5: Until the neoliberal era, inequality declined for some 60 years. From the 1980s onwards, it returned with a vengeance. Since 1989, America’s super-rich have grown about $21 trillion richer. The poorest 50 per cent, by contrast, have become $900 billion poorer.🧵

Female mosquitoes can lay 1,000 eggs during their short lives, and those eggs can lie dormant for 10-15 years, awaiting high-water conditions to reactivate.

Meaning almost 10 seasons of eggs can hatch simultaneously after flood events.

I call this kind of thing car supremacy, it is completely preposterous to say *seniors specifically* must have cars and only cars, but car brained people see any kind of other road use as an insult to their social status
Over the weekend, the San Francisco Chronicle ran a piece full of people arguing that seniors need car-centric transportation systems. So I decided to look at what the experts at AARP say. resnikoff.beehiiv.com/p/seniors-sa...
