With 4 days of data to go, November, 2025, will likely end up as the third warmest November on record and third warmest November in the last 120,000+ years.
November will also mark the second consecutive month breaking 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.
Stay tuned!

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Juan Brown says that with first officer being the pilot flying, the captain would have their right hand on the throttle up to rotation speed, then remove it. No one's hand should have been near the throttle at liftoff, as it's too late for an abort.
Hard to see how it could be accidental.

Depressing to see Met Office predict 50/50 chance of 40°C UK temperature within next 12 y. This is based on increasingly obsolete climate modelling that ignores the steep increase in Earth energy imbalance over the last decade and its clear explanation by Hansen's group. Expect 40°C this decade ☀️🔥

48mm of rain fell here in 1 hour last night (midlands UK). Thunderstorms stronger and carrying more water than we normally see even in August. Trains delayed, roads flooded and closed, flash flooding, water pouring off the fields and taking soil with it. And my roof leaked.

Not just a little record, but 25% higher than the previous record.
