54°C WOW!

May 2025 Globally,according to JMA-Japanese Meteorological Agency, had a temperature anomaly of +0.43C vs. 1991/2020 normal and was the 2nd hottest on record, 0.09C below May 2024 and 0.04C above May 2023 ,the 3rd.

Interesting to have here numbers: OKE = ocean kinetic energy "Similar to the atmosphere whose kinetic energy is concentrated in jet streams, the OKE is very unevenly distributed in the global oceans (Figure 2), with over 90% concentrated in major ocean currents." #climate #ocean

One example of how biased climate science is: "the slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has been proposed to be a contributing factor to the recent climate warming hiatus (e.g., Meehl et al., 2011; Chen and Tung, 2014; Smeed et al., 2014; Srokosz and Bryden 2015)."

They don't get it! A collapsing society offers at the end no opportunity only misery and despair including the super rich...

The future of the oceans is defining the future of humanity One thing you don't want to have on a water planet is collapsing oceans...

Importance: the collapse of the terrestrial carbon sink is accelerating non-linear! #climate #Earth

Heatwave over Greenland in May 2025 drives melt to go up 17-fold during peak temperatures " Climate change drives record-breaking heat in Iceland and Greenland challenging cold adapted ecosystems and societies" #climate #Arctic

Turtle Mutual Aid:

Importance: Earth is a non-linear system whose non-linearity is triggered by temperature jumps. As we do not reduce our emissions while both carbon sinks are now weakening/collapsing we are now entering highly dangerous territory... #climate #Earth

A striking lesson of the past: In a warmer climate sudden cascading feedback reactions had been triggered by a small additional warming... #climate #climaterisk #uöäü1paleo

This study is a must read... Microplastics are an overkill for the biosphere Even suppresses the formation of Sea spray aerosols which are important for latent heat loss of the oceans and cloud formation Impacts on photosynthesis and deoxygenation of the oceans just devastating #climate #earth

As microplastics are wrecking our biosphere in manifold ways here one example: Jellyfish carcasses make a major contribution to detrital carbon and nitrogen fluxes in the ocean. The consumption of MPs may prevent jellyfish carcasses from sinking and the proper functioning of the biological pump.

Importance: microplastic pollution impedes photosynthesis and enhances oxygen consumption... "Regional recovery from microplastic-induced remineralization and water column deoxygenation could take hundreds of years for coastal upwelling zones, the North Pacific and Southern Ocean." #ocean #earth
