Here’s what a world without Arctic ice would actually look like
A very bleak future and here is the thing
Its too late to save the Arctic now no matter what we do

According to @rhodium_group #BAAJA lowers American households’ electricity bills an average of $5 a month 14 years from now.
The lies about the bill are really just non-stop.

"BAAJA wreaks havoc with environmental laws, legislative norms and, by insulating countless projects from the reach of all federal laws, our democracy. It must be stopped." - David Bookbinder, former chief counsel, Sierra Club and Niskanen Center hillheat.com/2026/11/03/davi…

Latest Climate Bulletin: 2026 is virtually certain to surpass 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, record high global air & global sea surface temperature for October, river flows remain exceptionally low, 2nd lowest Antarctic sea ice extent for October.

Santa Barbara is a whiter shade of pale. I think I'll go wander through some playing cards.
California is experiencing one of the most extraordinary marine heatwaves in it's history. Water temperatures off Santa Barbara reached nearly 75°F today, 12°F above normal. Off San Diego County, temperatures reached above 77°F in the past week.
From the Bay Area to San Diego, coastal waters are running 6–12°F above normal. Category 5, or “beyond extreme,” marine heatwave conditions are occurring along virtually the entire Southern California coast.
Farther north, temperatures off Monterey have reached 68°F and 67°F off Half Moon Bay.
This exceptional warmth could have major consequences for marine life and could help enhance storms this winter.

Finally !!!! #Acceleration
Ahead of COP31, the @WMO warns:
"Earth’s energy imbalance is increasing"
"The increase in Earth's energy imbalance (EEI) is linked to rising concentrations of greenhouse gases and reductions in aerosol emissions (@DrJamesEHansen et al. 2023 [...]"

“This is the moment to show how broad the support behind a negotiating mandate has become.”
📍At the @WWF Pavilion at #COP31, Alex Rafalowicz, Executive Director of the Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative joined Minister Maina Vakafua Talia (Government of Tuvalu), Paola Yanguas Parra (International Institute for Sustainable Development) and Fernanda Carvalho (WWF International) for a panel moderated by Juliana Arciniegas (Transforma); “From Santa Marta to Tuvalu: Delivering the Transition Away from Fossil Fuels”.
Alex made the case that a Fossil Fuel Treaty turns the promise made in Dubai, the guidance in the Roadmap and every national plan into a shared, fair and binding path off fossil fuels.

#COP31 has begun.
Many words have been spoken over so many years, yet still we are hurtling towards extinction. Unless action is taken to heal the Earth, those words are meaningless.
It’s Extinction or Rebellion. #UnfuckTheSystem
ALT Planet Earth is seen, imagined in the depths of space, the seas are boiling away.

New Bill
Republicans and Democrats will make it much much more difficult to oppose massive increase in Data Centres
This Bill will exacerbate the suffering of communities on the frontlines of this Data Centre and fossil fuel expansion

Weil das Thema bis heute immer wieder in den Kommentaren auftaucht, hier noch einmal die abenteuerliche Geschichte der Widerlegungs- und Diffamierungs-Versuche der “Hockeyschläger-Kurve” des Klimas der letzten 1000 Jahre!

Since global atmospheric temperatures lag ocean heat by ~3 months, the full impact will hit in 2027.
Climate scientists predict a global annual average surging to +2.14°C up to +2.2°C above pre-industrial levels (1850-1900).

The Senate votes tonight on advancing BAAJA, a permitting bill that would accelerate the data center boom.
One of its lead negotiators, Sheldon Whitehouse, is the Senate’s top investor in data center companies. readsludge.com/2026/10/14/se…

31st COP conference. The only barrier to climate action is politicians corrupted by fossil fuel lobby groups.

Surchauffe quasi généralisée sur les 7 prochains jours notamment sur l'hémisphère nord. Pour trouver un peu de froid, faut aller sur l'Europe du nord, le Groenland et l'extrême orient russe.
Anomalies chaudes très impressionnantes sur le continent nord américain, le nord de l'Afrique et la Sibérie.

This would obviously threaten marine life and pump even more heat into the ocean
