Ocean temperatures in the key El Niño monitoring region have been at record levels for 11 consecutive days.

Another westerly wind burst is expected late this month, which will result in more warming.

For some perspective, 111 daily records on this chart were set in 1997.

Protect the sacred! Donald Trump is trying to auction off nearly 700,000 acres of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling right now.

Whether it’s Chaco Canyon, Oak Flat, or the Arctic—we stand with Tribal Nations and our communities in the fight to protect sacred and public lands. These lands are not for sale! ✊

I had to spend an afternoon at the children’s hospital

A little boy, IV in hand, walking out of oncology in an N95.
His parents behind him, unmasked.

Something about that moment I can’t shake—the smallest person in the room holding the most responsibility for his own safety.

April, and everyone has "the flu". I know multiple people who have or just had "the flu". After 3 weeks of having "the flu", one friend tested, and guess what? "The flu" was covid. Imagine that. And no one's masking. They'll all just keep getting "the flu" until they're disabled.

One of the odd things about super El Niños that not many people know is that they exponentially reduce the ability of the rainforests to absorb carbon from the atmosphere.

So the events that are supercharged by carbon in the atmosphere increase the carbon in the atmosphere.

[Peter Dynes @PGDynes]

Godzilla is coming. The tropical Pacific is warming at the fastest rate this century. A potential super El Niño is building — primed to disrupt global weather, intensify extremes, and push global temperatures to new highs.

The care of the weakest is a very important sign of the quality of the social life of a nation. Let us remember that the elderly are in need of assistance, but first and foremost need to be listened to, because they preserve the wisdom of a people. We owe them gratitude, because they have faced great difficulties for the good of the community. #ApostolicJourney #Angola

You don’t know his plan. It’s from Canada.

March 3, 2026
“If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible… to ensure the free flow of energy to the world.”

March 10, 2026
“We will permanently eliminate any boat or ship attempting to mine the Hormuz Strait… They will be dealt with quickly and violently. BEWARE!”

March 17, 2026
“They should have been there.”

March 18, 2026
“We don’t need any help, actually.”
“We’d like to have a little help.”

March 31, 2026
“There’s no reason for us to do this… That’s not for us. That’ll be for France. That’ll be for whoever’s using the strait.”
“Go get your own oil!”

April 1, 2026
“It will reopen naturally.”
“They can do it easily… We will be helpful, but they should take the lead.”

April 3, 2026
“With a little more time, we can easily OPEN THE HORMUZ STRAIT, TAKE THE OIL, & MAKE A FORTUNE.”

April 5, 2026
“Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!”

Very moving watching the Artemis II crew break the record for the furthest distance humans have ever travelled away from what one of the astronauts just called ‘Mother’ Earth.
They are currently aware of how much they need it.
It’s such a tragedy most of us aren’t.

#ClimateChange is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions. We’re causing #globalwarming 100 times faster than past natural changes

We are taking Earth’s climate beyond natural limits with carbon dioxide & temperatures levels not seen for 3 million years.

It blows my mind that there are people who think Long Covid is the long term effect of lockdowns.

[Tommy Stella @tommy_stella]

It’s kind of insane that we’re all lucky enough to live on this insignificant blue ball floating in an endless void that can somehow keep us alive indefinitely and yet a huge chunk of people want to ruin it forever in the name of an economic concept that we made up ourselves

[Ethical American @AmericanEthical]

BREAKING: Trump’s 2027 budget is out, and it’s a DISASTER for the American people.

Here’s what it contains.

-Cuts $240 million from the McGovern-Dole Food for Education -Program.
-fully eliminates the Job Corps, which provides free education and vocational training for young Americans
-A $5 BILLION cut to the National Health Institute, which guts our research into curing deadly diseases
-fully eliminates the Food for Peace program
-$73 billion cut from housing, education, and climate programs
-Cuts the EPA’s budget by HALF
-Guts NASA by 23%
-Cuts nearly $5 billion from USA
-Cuts $354 million from historically Black colleges and universities
-Cuts $204.5 million for the Community Development Financial Institutions fund, which stimulates growth in economically disadvantaged communities
-Cut $10.7 billion for housing
-Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs
-Cancel $15 billion for clean energy
-Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water
-Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training
-Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department
-Eliminate $395 million for senior employment
-Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants
-Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy

All to pay for $1.5 TRILLION for the military, including money to build 41 obsolete battleships.

This is the most regressive, anti-people, pro-war budget ever proposed. It is a horrifying, deeply evil document that hangs the American people out to dry and funnels all our taxpayer dollars into the pockets of arms dealers and blood profiteers.

We cannot allow it to pass.

No one wants covid to actually be mild or “over” more than covid aware people

It’s actually shocking that some of you think this is fun for us, that we enjoy this

[Climate Dad @ClimateDad77]

The gently sloping line at the bottom is our world 252 million years ago, when temperatures increased by 8C across 60,000 years killing 90% of all species.

It is a period known as The Great Dying.

That vertical red line is the world our children live in.

It's been a very long known fact that weakened immune systems are a perfect breeding ground for drug resistance.

Graphs like this are *zero surprise* to me.

I'm in a lull on twitter without much visibility, so probably hardly anyone will see this, but here's an important thread on "why everyone's sick all the time".

No, you are not imagining it.
Sickness is increasing.
Sickness absence rates are increasing.

The snowpack in the Western U.S. is all but gone.

It is supposed to be at it's annual peak this week.

Good fucking morning to everybody except John Fetterman, who bailed out Trump yesterday by voting to advance Markwayne Mullin as DHS Secretary. What a disgrace you’ve become.

The Arctic is changing beyond recognition.

As of March 19th, Arctic sea-ice extent is at a record daily low, more than 1 million square kilometers below the 1991-2020 mean, and more than 90,000 square kilometers below the previous record daily low, set in 2017.
