"Une étude parue en juin dans la revue Earth System Science Data a conclu qu’entre 2015 et 2025, la planète s’était réchauffée de 0,27 °C, soit une hausse d’au moins 35 % par rapport au rythme précédent de 0,20 °C par décennie observé depuis les années 1970." www.lapresse.ca/actualites/e...

🚨 Last month set a new record for the hottest average global sea surface temperature in the month of July! Record warmth is found in both the deeper ocean and at the surface. This isn't necessarily a surprise, but it will have consequences for around the world. Data in the graphic from NOAA ERRSTv6

Green line graph time series of average sea surface temperature anomalies for each July from 1900 through 2026. There is large interannual variabaility, but an overall long-term increasing trend. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1981-2010 baseline.

Out: investir dans la paix In : investir dans la guerre Même modeste, notre contribution offrait une occasion de bâtir des ponts, de rester branchés sur les conflits en cours, de former notre personnel, d'avoir un impact à l'international. Désolant.

Overnight temperatures are warming up across much of the contiguous United States during the month of August. Some of the largest trends are across the West, especially for daytime maximum temperatures (which I will post later). More U.S. climate change visuals: zacklabe.com/united-state...

Map of changes in August minimum temperatures across the contiguous United States from 1976 to 2025. Nearly all areas are seeing warming, which is largest over the South and West. Data is from NClimGrid.

Chemist Stephanie Kwolek invented Kevlar in 1965. In a 40+ year career, her work in polymer chemistry ultimately revolutionized personal body armor, industrial engineering & space exploration. Fourth woman inducted, National Inventors Hall of Fame, 1994. She was born #OTD in 1923. #WomenInSTEM

Fun color photograph of pioneering American chemist Stephanie Kwolek (1923–2014), the inventor of Kevlar, taken in her later years. She is indoors in what appears to be a home or lab setting with soft lighting and kitchen-like background elements. Kwolek, an older woman with short gray hair, wears large round eyeglasses, a light plaid blouse or dress with a white collar, and holds up a bright yellow circular button that reads "ASK ME ABOUT KEVLAR" in bold black lettering. On her hand she wears thick yellow Kevlar protective gloves (the very material she invented), one glove prominently displayed in the foreground as she grips the button. Her expression is gentle, proud, and welcoming, with a slight smile, embodying her lifelong dedication to science, safety, and innovation as she invites conversation about her groundbreaking discovery that revolutionized bullet-resistant vests, tires, helmets, and countless other applications.

We're in the era of incompetence & cybercrimes headlined as "unprecedented model capabilities gone rogue." So OpenAI & Anthropic are trying to one up each other with such incompetence because the "press release as a service" performing media & clueless politicians parrot pre IPO CEO talking points.

Les libéraux traitent le streaming comme si c'était un bien essentiel (particulièrement en provenance des US). En réalité, on paye 3 fois: 1. On se prive de revenus 2. On compense avec notre argent 3. Les plateformes vont augmenter leurs prix quand même (avancez à 3min pour la réponse de Carney)

Wednesday El Niño update - Some notable warming across a large part of the eastern half of the tropical Pacific Ocean during the last 7 days. And an ongoing strong westerly wind burst will continue to strengthen El Niño even further toward record territory. Data from NOAA OISSTv2.1. 🌊

Line graph time series of daily sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region. Years are shown from 1982 to 2025 in shades of blue to light yellow, and 2026 is shown in red. Climatologically, the largest anomalies are during the boreal winter in terms of magnitude. Data is from OISSTv2.1.

Imagine the money Carney could save if he simply bit the bullet, shuttered Parliament and outsourced every single policy decision to Trump and his cronies. It's redundant to have a supposedly independent Parliament that's simply going to be overruled by Trump's viceroy if it steps out of line.

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.

Je recommande cet épisode qui se penche sur le "plan AI" des libéraux; d'excellentes questions sont abordées. Sans surprise, le plan a de sérieuses lacunes et la discussion permet de se faire une meilleure idée de ce que serait un "bon" plan.

Mark Carney wants Canadians to become more “literate” on AI. But is a lack of understanding really why people are against it? This week @hadrianmk.bsky.social joins @parismarx.com to dig into the Canadian government’s AI strategy and its many blind spots. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/333_...

"At a certain point, one must concede that Carney is doing all this simply because he wants to be the CEO of Canada Inc. " De nombreux point intéressants dans cet article. Un cas classique de "Shock Doctrine" (cf. @naomiaklein.bsky.social )
