Remember that war between Thailand & Cambodia Trump ended? It's on again.

And that war between the Democratic Republic of Congo & Rwanda he stopped? On again.

Between Pakistan & Afghanistan? On again.

Ukraine & Russia? Not stopped in Trump's 323 days in office.

Israel and Gaza? Still fighting.

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them. "Following the identification, the IAF eliminated the suspects in order to remove the threat."

Welcome to the start of meteorological winter! Check out how December temperatures have warmed around our planet over the last four decades...

Data from doi.org/10.24381/cds...
Four global maps showing near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of December in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest over the Arctic region. Anomalies are calculated relative to 1951-1980 from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis.

Paging Bernard Drainville:

"This isn’t about choosing between the economy and the environment. It’s about recognising that the economy is embedded within the environment, and that the health of the nation depends on the living systems that sustain us.”

This is really striking (to me). Temperatures over global land areas so far this year are still the 2nd warmest on record (after last year)... 🫥

Data from www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...
Line graph time series of global land mean surface temperature anomalies for each January-October period from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly averaged for January-October 2025 was 1.84°C for global land areas. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. Data from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0.

Of course Trump likes Mamdani. He likes and agrees with the last person he talked to. He'll think Mamdani is great until he talks to somebody who doesn't like Mamdani, which will take hours, days at most, and then he'l go back to not like Mamdani. Trump has the intellectual depth of a puddle.

If you're keeping score this week, Carney is:

* Negotiating backroom deals on pipelines with Alberta and without BC or Indigenous folks.
* Undermining anti-greenwashing laws.
* Making deals with the UAE despite their role in Sudan.
* Cutting funding for infectious disease work in Africa.

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com.

We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans.

A comprehensive trade and security deal with the US was never, ever possible: an ongoing series.
It is frustrating that this basic point is only now starting to become the conventional wisdom, a full year (actually, seven years) after governments had all the facts necessary to reach this conclusion.

Greenhouse gas data is finally rolling in again, and my dashboard is back up-to-date. Unfortunately, the story hasn’t changed... 📈

More climate change indicator graphics at zacklabe.com/climate-chan...
This graphic shows four line graph time series and each are monthly from January 1984 through October 2025. The first graph is a 12-month running mean of global mean surface temperature anomalies. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1991-2020 baseline using ERA5 data. The second graph is monthly carbon dioxide abundance. The CO2 graph is the Keeling Curve. Current levels are 425 ppm. The third graph is monthly global methane abundance. Current levels are 1928 ppb. The fourth graph is monthly global nitrous oxide abundance. Current levels are 339 ppb. The three greenhouse gases show seasonal cycles and long-term increasing trends using data from NOAA ESRL. The global mean surface temperature anomaly record also exhibits decadal variability and a long-term increasing trend. All graphs are rising and shown in four different colors, including white, yellow, orange, and pink.
