Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temperatures warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention. #climate #globalwarming #science #climatechange

In a business where it’s not easy to stand out and get longevity, Dave has done it with ultimate class and respect. There are few like him. His work in South Florida will be missed and leave a real void in great storytelling.

My 36-year run at the Sun-Sentinel is over. Laid off for the first time since I lost my job as an ice-rink skate guard at 17. Cost-cutting move then, they said, too. I'm a month from 65, so please keep any sympathy for my newspaper friends who didn’t make it to the finish line like I have. I’m looking forward to doing some things I want to do so before the hall narrows and the light dims so you might not be completely done with me yet. Thanks to everyone who made it such a fun run.

"Pelley was not uncivil. He didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t curse or scream. He was professionally disagreeable. Which is basically the job description for journalists. It’s the job description that Weiss herself wrote. She just didn’t mean it."

Really good news. Over the last 15 years the world gained more mangroves than it has lost, thanks to stronger legal protections following the 2004 tsunami which proved their importance in protecting coasts. Also vital for fish and in absorbing carbon.

🚨 Global sea-surface temperatures just hit another all-time daily record high.

The oceans are now running hotter than anything seen in the modern record, even after the historic 2023–24 marine heatwave.

🌊 1980s average: ~20.0°C
🌊 2010s average: ~20.5°C
🌊 2020–25 average: ~20.7–20.9°C
🌊 2026: pushing above 21.1°C at its peak

Oceans absorb over 90% of excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases. When the oceans break records, the atmosphere usually follows.

More marine heatwaves.
More extreme rainfall.
More droughts.
More crop stress.
More weather volatility.

The climate system is flashing warning lights, and they're getting brighter.

"Let's get ready to party like it's 1929" may have been a joke, but the combination of climate extremes, food risks, insurance losses, and economic shocks is becoming harder to ignore.

🌡️ The oceans are telling us something.

Are we listening?

You can't solve problems you refuse to measure.

Yet this month, 900 ocean monitoring instruments are being physically pulled out of the water. A $368 million system. A decade to build. Designed to run 15 more years.

Gone.

This network tracked hurricane intensity, coastal flooding, marine heatwaves, and sea level rise. The data was free, public and used in over 500 scientific publications. Congress tried to stop it... twice. They got overruled anyway.

For a coastal community like FL-13 that just lived through Helene, this isn't abstract. This is the difference between an evacuation order that comes in time and one that doesn't.

Florida deserves a representative who fights for the science that protects us, not one who looks the other way while it gets dismantled.

The Trump administration has announced it will dismantle a $368 million deep-ocean monitoring system that provides critical data on the world’s oceans. The decision is sparking alarm among experts that US is taking eyes off the oceans at a dangerous time. https://t.co/VcifYxiYcR

Arctic ocean passes 'irreversible' chemical tipping point
New data shows that decades of ice loss have fundamentally altered Arctic ocean chemistry, triggering an irreversible disruption to the foundations of the region’s food chain

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline.

“Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet.*

Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming.**

Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”***

* in 1937, Guy Callendar published a paper showing that the world had already warmed over the last 50 years due to human emissions what he called “carbonic acid“ – what we now call CO2 – from burning fossil fuels

** If you are wondering, “how could humans be causing more than 100% of the warming?”

— it’s because, according to natural factors, the earth should be cooling right now.

So our emissions are offsetting that cooling AND causing all of the observed warming.

[Jeff Berardelli @WeatherProf]

New: Climate change literacy has not budged in years. Largely the result of a huge coordinated disinformation campaign. The science is crystal clear: ALL of the warming is due to humans.
“In the new survey, 90% of Democrats with a postgraduate degree say the Earth is warming mostly because of human activity, compared with 63% of Democrats with a high school diploma or less education.
Around one-in-five Republicans across education levels say climate change is mostly the result of human activity.
Republicans with more education are more likely to say the Earth is warming because of natural patterns: 48% of those with a postgraduate degree say this, compared with 29% of those with a high school diploma or less education.”

NPR. CBS. Washington Post. The climate desk is vanishing. Here's the data.

NPR's climate desk: gone. CBS gutted its team after reporting a hurricane was intensified by climate change. WaPo laid off 14 climate journalists - 75% of the desk. Broadcast climate coverage collapsed 63% in 3 years per Media Matters. Records fall every week. People die in heat waves. Someone has to cover this.

The pace of climate change has doubled, just as political and business commitment to tackling it has crashed. Our children, grandchildren, and their descendants living in a much more hostile climate - will see this as history’s greatest betrayal.

At a time when politicians, business leaders, and even many journalists are talking less about climate change, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse remains fiercely outspoken.

In an interview, he pushes back against the recent trend of “climate hushing.”
