November 17th, 2023 will go down in history as the first day on which planet Earth experienced a +2°C anomaly relative to the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline.
A very alarming milestone.
I wonder how many people who call Israel an apartheid state are simply aware that there are three Arab populations in the region comprising Israel and Palestine:
- West Bank Palestinians (2.2 million)
- Gaza Palestinians (2.0 million)
- Israeli Arabs (2.1 million)
german vice chancellor habeck with strongest statement (and, dare i say, leadership) from europe i’ve seen on the risks of an expanded middle east war and the rise of anti-semitism. worth your time.
The planet was 1.55°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline for the period Jan. 1 - Oct. 31.
We're going to need either a huge sulfur emitting volcanic eruption, or near total collapse of global industrial civilization, to make it to 2030 without crossing the Paris limit.
Elon Musk:
“Estoy a favor del medio ambiente, pero si llevas el ambientalismo al extremo, empiezas a ver a la humanidad como una plaga en la Tierra, como moho o algo así. Esto es falso. La Tierra probablemente podría soportar 10 veces la civilización actual”.

This is getting serious. Global models are starting to converge on a powerful hurricane-force bomb cyclone impacting parts of western Europe mid next week. Details will certainly change but definitely one to watch.
In a shocking turn of events, Hurricane #Otis in the Eastern Pacific has unexpectedly, explosively intensified from a tropical storm to a Category 4 hurricane in just 12 hours.
Even worse, the storm is expected to make a catastrophic landfall tonight as a Category 5 hurricane near Acapulco, Mexico, home to 1 million people.
Only 18 hours ago, people were expecting a tropical storm at landfall, and now a devastating Category 5 storm is likely.
This is pretty much a worst-case scenario, as residents have little time to find a safe shelter and protect life and property from this life-threatening storm.
A major hurricane (Category 3+) has never made landfall within 50 miles of Acapulco, let alone a Category 5 hurricane.
Otis could become the first Eastern Pacific hurricane ever recorded to make landfall as a Category 5 in Mexico.
Anyone in or near Acapulco should rush storm preparations to completion as their is little time left to shelter from #Otis.
The drums of a World War are beating. Beware of the military industrial complex and the warmongers who exploit tragedy to advocate for more war. A global war would lead to immeasurable suffering.
Diplomacy, conversation between leaders is the way out ❤
Tenemos la formación de un nuevo ciclón tropical en el pacífico esta semana. Hasta el momento los modelos lo acercan bastante a Los Cabos, pero posteriormente es incierto hacia donde saldría disparado, pero el consenso de modelos indica que sería hacia Sinaloa.
A new tropical disturbance tagged Invest #90E is developing south of Mexico after strong winds in the Gulf of Mexico made their way across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
