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.

The extreme winter warming event continues in the northernmost portions of the #Arctic. This is related to a temporary surge of heat and moisture that was transported northward and is related to the orientation of the large-scale atmospheric circulation. Graph from zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

By definition, numerical weather models require international data. The atmosphere knows no geopolitical boundaries: any model that begins and ends at its country’s border is unable to generate reliable predictions until after a weather system crosses its boundaries. Which defeats the purpose!

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Sometimes it is only one side of the #Arctic that experiences anomalously low conditions during winter, but this year we are seeing the sea ice edge on both the Atlantic & Pacific sectors at very low levels for this time of year. This is contributing to the historic record low for early February.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Entire USAID agency worldwide was deleted by a consulting government employee with no authority to do so. It’s a constitutional crisis that puts US national security at risk and normies won’t get this until legacy media says this clearly and loudly.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

AMOC news can be confusing—is it slowing? Collapsing? Remaining stable? There’s studies that claim each! That’s why, instead of the latest headline, I always rely on what @rahmstorf.bsky.social has to say—he’s studied it for nearly 40 yrs and knows how each new study fits into the bigger picture.

The thing to understand about Trump is like in his first term, he doesn’t want to govern. He doesn’t want to learn. He wants to campaign and look good. Republicans know this. So there are battles going on right now to take control of the actual process of governing.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Nov 2024 global data from ERA5 Reanalysis showed that it was the 2nd warmest Nov on record. More importantly, it is now a 100% certainty that 2024 will finish as the warmest year on record (1940-present), and likely the first year with an average temp over 15C in the history of human civilization.
