Just a heads up. The ongoing super El Niño is shaping up to be the worst in recorded history. Worse than the one in 1877 that ended up causing two consecutive global drought years and killing an estimated 3% of the global population. www.usatoday.com/story/news/w...
'Mind-blowing' El Niño stuns scientists. Why are they so concerned?
A Pacific El Niño is setting daily warm water records. Scientists say the world is in uncharted waters, and they aren't sure what will happen next.

Musa Okwonga@okwonga.bsky.social · 2w agoThe editor in chief of The Economist referring here to the AfD’s leader as a “perfectly thoughtful person“ instead of what she truly is - a driver and enabler of German fascism - is a huge part of the problem.
The claim “RFK Jr. does not fuck chickens” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that RFK Jr. fucks chickens.
James Lovelock is one of the greatest climate scientists that ever lived. We're about find out how on point his statements from over 18 years ago were.
The U.S. Secretary of Defense just stated that—so far—the war with Iran has cost $37.5 billion dollars. That's since February. That same amount is how much the United States spent on planetary science from FY2013 through FY2026 inclusive. Thirteen years of planetary science or five months of war.
Yet another example of how the British right-wing press is in the pocket of the fossil fuel lobby. Still.
Josh Gabbatiss@joshgabbatiss.bsky.social · 2w agoAs Ed Miliband leaves his post as energy and net-zero secretary, a final tally: There have been an incredible 251 newspaper editorials attacking him and his approach to net-zero since the start of 2024 That amounts to two editorials a week, mainly in the Sun, Daily Mail, Times and Daily Telegraph.
As of July 19th update, the Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature is now more than 3.7 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 mean. With the warming just getting started, this El Nino is still in charted territory, but just barely.

Axel Springer is a German media giant — with Bild & Welt — which has become a major international player — with Politico & Business Insider. Its leadership is a prime example of radicalization of the mainstream right and of the enabling of the far right. Their newest award winner: Peter Thiel.

The White House was never supposed to be a palace. George Washington and architect James Hoban deliberately rejected the lavish style of European monarchies. Instead, they designed a President’s House that reflected the ideals of a republic: dignified, restrained, and accountable to the people.

Scientific American is 180 years old. The most eminent science magazine for the general public. And today, sold off as scrap to stop the staff from unionizing. Many top editors I've worked with for a decade on several articles have been fired. What a disgrace @sciam.bsky.social
