If you’re like me, after the summer we’ve had, you’re already numb to these huge spikes. This one is the biggest but the reaction to it is underwhelming. It’s unfortunate these extremes are becoming normalized in our psyche. I wish it weren’t the case but it must be human nature.

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! I just had to extend the y-axis to accommodate yesterday's record breaking global sea surface temperature anomaly of 0.76°C above the 1991-2020 mean.

Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains. The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.

We live in extraordinary times, when a daily global temperature of 1.65°C above pre-industrial brings down the year-to-date average (now 1.70°C), and a 365-day running mean of 1.56°C above pre-industrial gets zero attention on mainstream media. These are the days of our lives.

I'm so glad they got this unraveled jackass on video at the NABJ so everyone can see how unhinged and hypocritical he is. MAJOR props to this journalist who remained cool and poised, under the circumstances.

A stark reminder this morning that Trump's policies could emit double the CO2 that clean energy saved GLOBALLY over the last five years -- or the equivalent of the yearly emissions of the EU and Japan.
