A first year above 2C in the mid-2030s now looks plausible. 0.5C was first passed in 1980, 1.0C in 2010 and 1.5C in 2024. The 15-year trend runs at 0.42C per decade. The 2026 and 2027 points for the current El Nino are estimates. We're not remotely ready!

Line chart titled "A first year above 2 C in the mid-2030s looks increasingly plausible". It shows global mean surface temperature from 1940 to 2050 as the annual anomaly against the 1850 to 1900 baseline, in degrees C. Data is ERA5 from Copernicus, running to 31 July 2026.

A thin gold line shows individual years, wobbling around a thick dark blue smoothed trend. Both sit near 0.2 C through the 1940s to the early 1970s, then climb steadily from the mid-1970s onward.

Three red dots mark the first year each threshold was passed. 0.5 C in 1980, 1.0 C in 2010 and 1.5 C in 2024. Labels beneath note the gap of 30 years between the first two and 14 years between the second and third. Everything above 1.5 C is shaded pink.

Two dashed lines run forward from 2025. A blue line follows the 15-year trend of 0.42 C per decade and reaches 2 C in 2037. A fainter grey line follows the 30-year trend of 0.27 C per decade and reaches 2 C in 2044.

Two orange circles mark estimates for the developing El Niño, at about 1.5 C for 2026 and about 1.7 C for 2027.

‘Polarization’ has become the master concept for diagnosing our current democratic crisis. But this is not polarization. It is the radicalization of the political right. By misdiagnosing it, we risk becoming complicit in the crisis. 🧵 Just out in Perspectives on Politics doi.org/10.1017/S153...

#Asamoah bringt es auf den Punkt. "Ich habe das Gefühl, dass wir uns oft mehr damit beschäftigen, ob jetzt jemand ein Rassist ist oder nicht. Ich würde mir aber wünschen, dass wir uns eher darum kümmern, diese Denkmuster ernsthaft zu hinterfragen (...)."

"Schweinsteiger ist kein Rassist - aber das ist auch gar nicht der Punkt"

Nach Bastian Schweinsteigers viel kritisierten Worten über die Elfenbeinküste wünscht sich Ex-Nationalspieler Gerald Asamoah eine andere Richtung der Debatte.

Probably the best example of a rapid bottom-up energy transition: Pakistan imported more Chinese solar last year than any country on earth. No big subsidy, no rooftop scheme, no feed-in tariff. Solar is now around a quarter of electricity. More in my piece👇 www.thenewworld.co.uk/jan-rosenow-...

Pakistan’s solar miracle – how the hell did they do it?

Faced with constant electricity blackouts and a failing grid, people in Pakistan took matters into their own hands. The result is a lesson for the rest of the world, and also a warning

Varför säger folk att någon blivit "unalived" istället för dödad? Vad betyder det om någon säger att de stannade hemma pga Backstreet Boys Reunion tour, och varför pratar Palestinaaktivister plötsligt som gamers från 00-talet? I veckans memeskola lär vi oss om algospeak. fojo.se/verify/algos...

Algospeak: Varför död, sex och våld fått nya namn på nätet - Fojo Verify

“Algospeak” är vad som händer när människor försöker föra samtal om sex, våld, politik, extremism och trauma på digitala plattformar som läser deras ord innan andra människor gör det.

It worked perfectly! I got the med, and *immediately* felt better. The underlying cause was confirmed by a modern nuclear medicine test. After 20 goddamn years of medical dithering, a *70 year old drug* was what was needed. Diagnosing this cost a few pennies.

For Fathers' Day, Keir Starmer posts a photo of his own father, who died in 2018, and a non-political message. The replies are a torrent of vitriol & cruelty, all with hundreds of Likes. We complain a lot about the quality of leadership, but there's a huge problem with the way we treat politicians

Ja, även jag har fått arga mail från statsministerparets kulbo, Göran Thorstensson. Idag försöker också förstå deras och Carl-Oskar Bohlins märkliga krishantering, som mest tycks bestå i att på mer eller mindre klumpiga vis försöka misstänkliggöra journalister. Läs gärna! www.dn.se/kultur/johan...

I’ll never be DSA but that hasn’t stopped me from working with DSA nonstop in the Twin Cities ICE response. No, I don’t agree with a lot of their policy stuff… but who cares! Their rapid response organizing in South Minneapolis is the national gold standard, they’re heroes, we can work together.

Stuff like this really irks me, like, out here in the real world, the Democrats in my town are organizing taking people down to Delaney Hall to protest on Sunday in conjunction with one of the socialist organizations (forget which), like in real life where the stakes actually matter it’s solidarity

Talarico: Ken Paxton let a pedophile back onto our streets. Adam Hoffman should have served 25 years to life in prison, but instead served less than 29 days. And that's because Ken Paxton gave him an Epstein style sweetheart deal.
