🚨 Last month set a new record for the hottest average global sea surface temperature in the month of July! Record warmth is found in both the deeper ocean and at the surface. This isn't necessarily a surprise, but it will have consequences for around the world. Data in the graphic from NOAA ERRSTv6

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each July from 1900 through 2026. There is large interannual variabaility, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Marsh wren is a tiny, active AGILE songbird 12 cm lives in freshwater and saltwater wetlands across North America, eating mostly insects and spiders. Found during the summer breeding season across much of southern Canada and the US migrate south to winter along coastal regions of southern US.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Interesting science - extrapolating age from length is difficult in long-lived fish. I get anxious thinking about legal harvest of fish far older than the U.S. Imagine remembering when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in the early 1600s. 😬🐟🧪

These Great Lakes fish may live more than 400 years, making them nearly as old as Greenland sharks

Lake sturgeon were already called living fossils, but new research reveals female sturgeon in some populations could survive more than four centuries, upending decades of assumptions.

NASA: Warming Effects of Carbon Pollution since the 1800s. Wait for it. Since human’s industrialized the Earth has warmed 1.5°C/2.7°F due to heat-trapping greenhouse gases released from the burning of fossil fuels, changes in land use, and the feedbacks of both. This may not sound like much but 1/

100 years of July sea surface temperature anomalies... you'll see important patterns of regional climate variability as the animation evolves, but ultimately, the story behind the long-term trend toward record warmth is driven by human-caused climate change. Data from @noaa.gov ERSSTv6. 🌊

Breaking News! Code Bonkers! As of August 3rd, Nino 3.4 has crossed 2.5°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate Casino predicted August 1st for this crossing and now has a lot of fake-bets to pay out. Was the fix in? Next up, 3.0°C by August 21st.

Whitehouse: "Next we get to this crooked slush fund Trump family tax amnesty scam. We've got these two new pieces of paper. One signed only by Blanche, one not signed by anybody. Neither of which has any legal effect whatsoever. They are decorative. Can you trust Todd Blanche? I do not."
