Your 'moment of doom' for Feb. 5, 2024 ~ Going dark. “I think the strategy here is: ‘Well, we’re just going to do it and dare somebody to stop us, and by the time they stop us, we’ll have destroyed it.’” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

For anyone who wants to make a bet on the end of the world with a friend, relative or work colleague: My estimate on passing 2.0°C above the pre-industrial baseline is no earlier than 2035 and no later than 2040. So, take the "Under" on 2040 and the "Over" on 2035.

We missed a milestone. On January 15th, the 2-year running mean for the global surface temerpature anomaly reached 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 baseline. Goodbye Paris, we hardly knew ye.

Living here in Santa Barbara in the wildland/urban interface, our home insurance is almost sure to be cancelled later this year, fires could destroy everything at any moment, and I don't quite know what to do next. The era of first-world refugees is upon us. Thailand comes to mind.

It’s not just four years of marvelling at how awful he is, it’s four years of being dumbfounded by the desperate dishonesty of supporters. If a photo of Taylor Swift or Hilary Clinton waving is somehow ‘proof’ that Musk didn’t do a Nazi salute in plain sight, what else will they pretend to believe?

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Since March 13, 2023, global sea surface temperatures have been setting daily records compared to the pre-2023 record high for each day, with the exception of 5 days in late December, 2024. Thanks to @leonsimons.bsky.social for the idea to graph this.

Your 'moment of doom' for Jan. 21, 2025~ What happens in the Arctic. "In the permafrost, most of the soils have been entirely frozen throughout the full year. But now the temperatures are warmer, there’s more organic matter available for decomposition, and carbon gets released into the atmosphere."

Bloomberg says that Trump will immediately declare a national energy emergency. We all know why — it will be about gutting environmental protection. But still worth noting that US energy is actually doing fine, with production > consumption and exports > imports 1/

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Donald Trump, you’re a disgrace as a human being. While you may have gotten the presidency, you’re still a disgrace. You’re a convicted felon, a pervert, and you treat your allies with disdain while you kiss up to Putin. Anytime, anywhere, Donald—we will take you on.

In case you had any doubt, the near perfect fit of the quadratic trendline makes it clear: global sea surface temperatures are accelerating. The current rate of warming is about 0.32°C/decade, which comes out to somewhere around 275 million Hiroshima bombs worth of ocean heating in 2025.
