(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The Daily Beast publishes a sourced allegation that Trump has been a Russian spy since 1987 and then—possibly under some form of threat—deletes it. But in an act of unusual heroism, it left it up long enough for Wayback Machine to capture it text. Here it is (please share):

Saturday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data) • about 650,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,240,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 1,770,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,200,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i... 🌊

Thuggery, intimidation and arm twisting from the festering bag of putrescence.

Needless to say American lives will be lost unnecessarily, but not the lives of billionaires.

An exceptional double faced weather kicks off in Europe & surrounding. Exceptional warmth (records already falling,TWEET coming) in the West with insane warmth coming in the Arctic and deep winter freeze in the Southeast: snow can fall on Monday in Jerusalem for example. tbc...

America the Beautiful is an alien concept to the criminal administration asset stripping our nation.

To help homes survive more intense disasters, FEMA has been developing recommendations for stronger building codes. The Trump Administration has pulled them back.

First heat of 2025 in the MIDDLE EAST, well ahead of normal. Up to 36C in OMAN and up to Minimums of 26C in Saudi Arabia ,close to winter records. In the meanwhile a severe cold spell will bring frost and snow in the Caucasus and Turkey.

While it's still available, here's a CDC summary of the many ways climate change affects health, e.g., via: -Air Pollution -Allergens & Pollen -Food Security -Food & Waterborne Diarrheal Disease -Mental Health Disorders -Precipitation Extremes -Temperature Extremes -Vector-Borne Diseases -Wildfires

When the lunatics take over the asylum. (Not a joke)

The endless incompetence of the dozy DOGE is only matched by their staggering stupidity.

One might justifiably suspect that such a project would never get past Elon’s oiks or Vought’s scalpel.

His community, living on the tiny low-lying island of Gardi Sugdub, is the first in Panama to be relocated because of climate change.

The heat is on.

This is tragedy. Imagine how much worse this tragedy would have been without NOAA/NWS to warn in advance that a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) was about to occur.

THIS IS WHY WE FUND NOAA YOU FOOLS.

Last month was the warmest January on record globally! Outside of the contiguous United States, most continental land regions were much warmer than average. Summary of the month at climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-... using @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 data.

Saturday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the *lowest* on record (JAXA data) • about 790,000 km² below the 2010s mean • about 1,450,000 km² below the 2000s mean • about 2,040,000 km² below the 1990s mean • about 2,430,000 km² below the 1980s mean Plots: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i...

This disaster of an administration is ensuring coming disasters are going to be far worse.

The temperature spike continues in the high #Arctic... 🧪⚒️❄️🥼 Graphs at zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

Out today in @globalchangebio.bsky.social is our (brief!) rapid-response piece on the broader context surrounding the January 2025 Southern California wildfires & relevance of wet-to-dry hydroclimate whiplash to fire both locally and globally on a warming Earth. [1/8] onlinelibrary.wiley....

We've reached 1.5°C global warming. With current policies, we're heading for a catastrophic 2.7°C warming. A new review paper in Science shows: this would change the Arctic 'beyond recognition', with knock-on effects (like rising seas) around the world. 🌊 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

23-year-old Musk acolyte Luke Farritor, who had been installed as the DOGE operative at Health and Human Services, has moved over to the Department of Energy.

#climaterisk - transition risk from hostile regulatory environment

Aaand once again we have an article about 22 Republican attorneys general filing a pro-fossil lawsuit with zero mention of the industry-funded coordinating hub behind it, the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/n... Read up on RAGA: drilled.media/news/RAGA

In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day

The global albedo in January was the lowest on record. Albedo is a measure of how reflective the Earth's surface is. A lower albedo means the surface is absorbing more solar energy.
