I was talking to my neighbor when a group of cyclists came by at maybe 25 mph. “That’s so dangerous,” she exclaimed. In the meantime, quite a few drivers came by at 40 mph, and she’s completely unfazed. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Yesterday afternoon 14:09 in Lacanau Océan in France. A pale red sun through the smoke tinged everything in Mars style orange. Welcome in the climate emergency! Despite all denial of the fossil fuel lobby, it’s scientific fact: CO2 emissions heat up Earth & make fires worse. 🔥🔥🔥

The average sea surface temperature globally is surging to new record highs for this time of year, well above the historic warmth in 2023 and 2024. How anomalous will it get over the next year as El Niño tightens its grip? Track the data at zacklabe.com/climate-chan... 🌊

Graph showing daily global mean sea surface temperatures for 2026. This is also compared to the daily data from the 1981-2010 average and 1991-2020 average. Annotations are also shown to the current year with the other years from 1940 to 2026. There is a seasonal cycle. There is a long-term warming trend. 2023 and 2024 are also indicated, which were the warmest years on record. Data is from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis and updated through 23 June 2026.

Thanks David for your celebration of of Louisas life. She was an amazing colleague and friend who loved her current role as a go to sea nutrient analyst. Forever missed, I can imagine we will all be still consulting her in our own way whilst packing for cruises or jiggling things in the lab. Sabena

In April the Liverpool University, UK and wider global oceanography community lost a dear colleague and friend, Louisa Norman. A tribute has just been published in the July Newsletter of @challengersoc.bsky.social Link: challenger-society.org.uk/publications...
