Unbelievable footage from NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters inside the eye of Category 5 Hurricane Polo. Simply incredible.

Yesterday's Nino 3.4 SST was 29.73°C (preliminary), setting the 114th consecutive daily record, 0.93°C higher than the previous daily high set in 2015 and 3.78σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The highest recorded sea-surface temperature for the Nino 3.4 region is 29.82°C, set on November 17, 2015.
RIP @joeromm.bsky.social. Thanks for all you did to wake us up to the risks of climate change and the possibilities for climate solutions. @mason4c.bsky.social @docsforclimate.bsky.social @tccollab.bsky.social @coveringclimatenow.org @michaelemann.bsky.social
Remembering Dr. Joe Romm
It is with great sadness that the Penn Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media shares news of the passing of PCSSM Senior Research Fellow Dr. Joe Romm. Please find below an obituary prepared ...

Sea surface temperatures in the key Niño 3.4 region have been at record highs since early June (climate change plus El Niño), now more than 1°C above the 1997 record this week! 😬 Bring your El Niño questions and more to our free webinar tomorrow (sign up): climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...
The Obama family shared that Sunny passed away yesterday after 13 years by their side. She was fiercely protective of her big brother, Bo, and we can imagine the two of them together again. Today, hold your pets a little closer and cherish every moment you share.
25 years ago, on a clear September morning, an otherwise ordinary day became one of history’s darkest. Through the darkness, we also saw the best of humanity.
We continue to bury the lede. Agreed. “Climate change is still the key story.”
Honestly, it's already getting hard to keep up with all of the new climate data records. And I only expect this to amplify later this year. Climate change is still the key story. You just experienced the warmest summer on record across the contiguous United States. Data at doi.org/10.7289/V5SX...
Remember, none of this is new. Today is the day we double-down, #Canada. We've got this.
🚨 Ocean temperatures continue to rise. Last month saw the hottest average global sea surface temperature on record for the month of August. Remember, human-caused climate change is the key reason for these new records. Data from NOAA ERSSTv6. I guess next month I will adjust that upper y-axis limit
Gloria Steinem. She opened up the eyes of women across generations. She was clarifying..like “In my experience, things were only taken seriously if they also happened to men. It made some sense of my own experience — I had had an abortion and had never told anyone…‘Why? Who said?’” A true star. ⭐️
Wednesday El Niño update - it continues to develop as expected, and its imprint on the large-scale atmospheric circulation is showing up more clearly. For this week, I also want to reiterate the importance of avoiding the El Niño hype (& 'scary' AI-graphics) and finding trustworthy sources of info.
“It turns out that El Niño in the eastern Pacific has never been as violent as it is now.”
El Niño is now stronger than at any point in the last 1,000 years, study finds arstechnica.com/science/2026...
🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: Canadian scientists at the University of Waterloo Dr. Brian Ingalls, Dr. Sara Sadr, and Dr. Marc Aucoin have engineered “tumor-eating” bacteria that can invade and consume cancerous tumors from within. A potential breakthrough in cancer treatment research.

Breaking News! Code: y-Axis alert! The latest global preliminary sea-surface temperature for August 23rd blew away the previous record set just yesterday. I had to raise the y-axis to accomodate the new record. Will I have to extend the y-axis again tomorrow? Stay tuned.
Canada fuels American growth. Canada supplies 99% of natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports and 60% of crude oil imports. I don't think they want us to stop sending any of that energy. -PMCarney #TrumpTariffs
🚨 Preliminary daily data shows we just broke the all-time highest global sea surface temperature in this record... Download high-resolution graphic at zacklabe.com/climate-chan.... This data (extrapolar ocean) is provided by @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5. 🌊
Let’s not bury the lede. Investing in the largest renewable energy project in North America is a smart and bold move. Controlling and growing non-hydrocarbon energy projects is key to being a leading nation on the world stage. Bravo.
Our agreement with Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador will generate the clean energy we need to build the future we want and that our children deserve.
An electrifying message that is good for the economy and is real climate action.

NOAA to end support for Arctic climate change report
The authors were informed Monday of the action, which jeopardizes public dissemination of the report on the fast-changing region.

Preliminary data shows that we may have set a new all-time record high for the daily global average sea surface temperature. The warmth in the ocean has already been quite remarkable over the last several months this year. Find more of our briefing graphics: www.climatecentral.org/climate-brie... 🌊

ICYMI - The newest data showing the number of billion-dollar disasters in the U.S. for the first half of 2026 was released last week. This includes 12 events costing nearly $32 billion in damages (5th highest for Jan-Jun event count). ➡️ Explore the data at www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...
