This seems like a good fact to share with your friends today:
The 365 day running average for global surface temperature is once again less than 8 standard deviations above the 1941-1970 average.
That's about 1-in-1.125 quadrillion by chance alone.

Last month I did a little experiment.
I wanted to see how the exact same post would perform on both X (Twitter) and Bluesky.
The results were...interesting...

The daily CO2 number from Mauna Loa exceeded 430 ppm yesterday. This is the first reading above 430 ever recorded.
CO2 levels have not been this high since the Pliocene epoch, 3 to 5 million years ago.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”
To repeat: "A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for."
Today's university slashing and burning is Edinburgh, where about 10% of the budget will be cut. There'll be another case every single day until UK govts actually do something. A country so stupid it actively trashes one of things it's good at and famous for.

Welcome to Trilobite Tuesday! Pictured is the Devonian-age phacopid trilobite Erbenochile erbeni. Not only does this Moroccan species feature towering 0.8-in (2-cm-) high eye stacks—each topped by a unique shading brim—but it also has a row of intimidating spines that run along its axial lobe.
