Most people know atmospheric CO₂ is rising.
Fewer know Carbon-13 and Carbon-14 are falling.
Three observations. One conclusion:
The carbon accumulating in our atmosphere is ancient fossil carbon.
The race to the Moon has become a race for AI supremacy. Psyop or not, that framing turns restraint into surrender and regulation into disarmament. It may be disastrous for humanity, but perhaps the best thing we ever did for every other species.
Great Miami Buried-Valley Aquifer (GMBVA): major sand-and-gravel aquifer beneath southwest Ohio. This conceptual graphic shows its geology, groundwater–river connection, recharge, baseflow, storage, and interaction with the Great Miami River

It’s astonishing to see this, even though we saw it coming months ago. White = 10°F + above normal in the El Niño regions. Its immense!
In the air, a regional warming of 10° is no big deal. But in the ocean it’s immense! Think about how hard it is/ how long it takes to cool/ heat your pool. Now multiply that by a trillion. Warming like this truly has no precedent in the historical record, and thus the impacts are unprecedented. From an almost non-existent Atlantic #hurricane season to a super-charged Pacific season. And coming this winter a supercharged subtropical jet stream with heavy rain storms and severe weather across the US South - #Florida, the Gulf Coast and probably flooding rains in California. And those are just the obvious impacts. Stay tuned! #elnino
Caught the split second between two takeoffs: the great blue heron had launched first and was already airborne, while the great egret, the white bird on the right, had just begun its ascent. And, to toot my own horn just a little, I caught it with my iPhone.
Houthis establish full control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait after seizing Perim Island
The Houthis have also taken control of the strategically important city of Dhubab. It is located directly at the entrance to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, giving the city major strategic importance for controlling one of the region’s key maritime passages.
The strait connects the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden.
Bab el-Mandeb is one of the main shipping routes between Asia and Europe. Control of the strait would give the Houthis greater leverage to threaten passing vessels and effectively put another key trade route at risk after the Strait of Hormuz.
@UAControlMap Why hasn’t the Wildberries logistics hub in Saratov been struck?
Ukraine has repeatedly hit targets around Saratov. Now Ozon has reportedly been hit, while Wildberries appears untouched.
Same region. Similar logistics role. Different treatment. Why?

U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve is 33 million barrels above a key statutory drawdown threshold, with 55 days until the midterms.
Modeled recent 4-, 8- & 12-week trends.
Key number: 4.2M barrels/week.
That’s the rate needed to reach the 252.4M §161(h) threshold by Election Day
The El Niño region Sea Surface Temperatures are extremely variable.
But the standard deviation of the past months stands out, as the graph shows.
Data doesn't lie.
Thank you, @EliotJacobson
Scientific studies report roughly 24,440 glacial lakes in the Himalaya, of which half are Supra-Glacial Lakes (lakes resting on the surface of a glacier). Nepal alone holds more than 2,000 glacial lakes. A recent study found 207 glacial lakes as very high-hazard and 345 as high-hazard. https://t.co/T29yBMXEPb

What stands out isn’t just the 32 ZJ: it’s state vs. variability.
Positive EEI loads the ocean.
OHC is the stored state.
ENSO redistributes the heat.
RONI tells us how anomalous it is relative to today’s warmer tropics.
