Eric Wright - asking for needed change

Putting out things relative to climate change (try to keep to good science). Stopping it keeps nature and people—some other issues.
Trump said 'about some other cold wave ... "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING???"
Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data)...

• about 500,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,090,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,640,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 2,110,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Our difference from normal is so much greater than in normal years.
We continue to receive warning signs for our future. The data is in, and last year was the 3rd hottest on record for our planet...

When it balls up, large storms/loss of land ice take the shore. The heat is hard on ocean life.
2025 was the hottest year on record for ocean heat content. Unfortunately, we now say this every year. 🥹

"In addition to setting a new record in 2025, the global
ocean continues to show sustained and intensified warming."

Breaking News: President Trump said the U.S. would withdraw from the U.N.’s bedrock climate treaty, and 65 other treaties and agreements.
Trump Pulls Out of Global Climate Treaty
The action could make it more difficult for a future administration to rejoin the Paris climate accord, the agreement among most nations to fight climate change.

Far above the normal increase. ?
🚨 The first preliminary analysis from the Japan Meteorological Agency highlights 2025 as the third warmest year on record globally (since at least 1891 in this data).

Additional climate rankings will be released later for other datasets.

Add heat, get vapor with ocean (7/10), and lose it on land. You get this from boiling water and drying clothing.

The increasing water in the Arctic is making it warmer.
Check out the anomalous warmth across the #Arctic and #Antarctic over the last three months. And actually, all latitude bands averaged unusually warm too.

Plot shows zonal-mean temperature anomalies, where latitude = y-axis (not scaled by distance). GISTEMPv4 data using their 1951-1980 baseline.

Funny, Halifax, NS, Canada was cooler. But if you think this makes sense.
November 2025 observed more anomalous warmth across the entire Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The saturated red color indicates all of these areas were at least 5°C above the 1981-2010 average.

"climate science"
According to a new court filing, the Trump administration has a six-page list of banned words that Head Start locations are forbidden from using when describing their programs.
Among the censored words: "disability," "race," "women," "trauma," "Gulf of Mexico." Short thread with the full list. 🧵

Blind to climate change; global warming is larger than them.
Oligarchy (noun):

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The work that has gone into knowing that it is the change in CO2! To vote matters.
"EPA erases references to human-caused climate change from websites"

"The agency modified sections of its website by deleting information about human-created greenhouse gases and the role they play in warming the planet. It also removed links to scientific data and information."

An unmistakable change!
The extent of global sea ice cover is more than 3 million square kilometers below the 1981-2010 average. This is the 2nd lowest on record for this date over the satellite-era.
