I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

It’s exhausting. For years, decades, right wing media have lied and told us #climate breakdown was just woke nonsense. Now, it’s whoopsies, yes it’s real, but relax everyone & enjoy our new “Mediterranean” climate as Europe goes up in flames around us.

‼️ A Monster El Niño keeps leveling up! Here’s a quick soup to nuts breakdown of where we stand now, how strong it will get in historical context, and what kind of impacts we can expect for hurricane season and winter too in the Deep South and #Florida. #ElNino

Holiday in the climate emergency. No that’s not AI or edited, just a snapshot I just took with my phone on Lacanau beach in France. What future will this boy grow up in? It is in our hands, but time is running out.

Global problems are rarely solved by one person or invention. The Ocean Cleanup didn’t work, for the reasons experts said it wouldn’t. What can we learn from this?

It's #SharkAwarenessDay! Sharks have one of the scariest reputations in the animal kingdom, but the reality is that they kill an average of only about 5 people worldwide each year. Yet sometimes the biggest dangers come from the decisions made by the people in power.

This graph should raise eyebrows. Sea surface temperatures in Niño 3.4 region are tracking well above the historical range and doing so unusually early. We’re already reaching near-peak El Niño levels months before the typical peak period of November to January. Something unusual is unfolding.
