Here's a look at the evolution of sea surface temperature anomalies over the past couple of weeks in the tropical Atlantic. The growing patches of +4°C anomalies are just incredible. Locations northwest of Cabo Verde that would typically be around 24°C now are at about 28°C!

Urban heat and all its consequences are yet another hidden cost of our choice to monopolize public spaces with parked and moving vehicles.

Time for change!

The Earth is on fire. Our negligence is killing our planet. We must change our ways.
