Request to fellow Dems of all stripes: Let's keep our analyses of primary results positive, recognizing that we're all in this together. I've heard some poisonous stuff behind the scenes recently. It helps no one. A diverse party energized by new ideas, voters & candidates is what we need now.

See 2026 on right? It’s the hottest the El Niño subsurface has ever been measured. If we are being honest, we have to do serious research into how excess heat due to climate change (90% stored in Ocean) likely fuels stronger El Nino’s. To no one’s surprise, stored heat is coming back to haunt us!

Another El Niño Record! Watch as heat back ups at the end. The heat building below the surface, which fuels El Niño, is higher than ever measured. This shows the heat just below the Trop Pacific sfc, moving from the W.Pacific Warm Pool where it’s stored, to the E. Pacific Sfc where El Niño forms 1/

Witnessing history. Here’s what the CFS seasonal model ensemble forecast mean looks like for this El Niño against the distribution of all El Niño events on record. The colored dots represent the strongest El Nino’s. The red dot 🔴 way out in right field is the CFS peak for November… 1/ 🧵

I’ve reported at length about abuses of foreign farmworkers who come to the U.S. on H-2A visas: stolen wages, guns pointed in their faces. One woman I met was kidnapped, raped and nearly killed. I wanted to know: How do I tell if the produce I buy is part of the problem? 👇

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

Probably more helpful to think of them not so much as “Canadian wildfires” but rather “climate change wildfires currently consuming Canada”
