Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today ~ delusional.
"If we cut methane by nearly half by 2030, we could avoid almost 0.3 degrees of warming by the 2040s and save 250,000 lives every year"

In 2015, scientists expected the world would pass the 1.5C threshold in 2042.
Now they expect the threshold will be passed in 2029.
Warming is accelerating quickly.
We need to phase out fossil fuels asap.
You could watch the news 24/7 & not know that:
Our planet’s at its hottest in 120,000 years.
Methane levels are their highest in MILLIONS of years.
CO2 levels their highest in 3 MILLION years.
We're in a climate crisis. Denying it won't solve the problem.

California is experiencing one of the most extraordinary marine heatwaves in it's history. Water temperatures off Santa Barbara reached nearly 75°F today, 12°F above normal. Off San Diego County, temperatures reached above 77°F in the past week.
From the Bay Area to San Diego, coastal waters are running 6–12°F above normal. Category 5, or “beyond extreme,” marine heatwave conditions are occurring along virtually the entire Southern California coast.
Farther north, temperatures off Monterey have reached 68°F and 67°F off Half Moon Bay.
This exceptional warmth could have major consequences for marine life and could help enhance storms this winter.
I'm less impressed by how @ossoff speaks (though he's terrific at that too) and more impressed by what he says.
This 2-minute clip is the best explanation of Trump corruption that I've ever heard. His explanation of the Russian dirty deals is so accurate and so clear. He knows the facts cold. And he explains them better than I can.
One of my favorite ways of putting climate change into perspective is using standard deviations. It’s too bad most folks don’t relate to it. Because, for people who understand this way of expressing likelihood, 7.22 sigma is otherworldly
And so it came to pass that November 4th, 2026, recorded 2.03°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, tied for the 4th highest anomaly on record.
Breaking News!
Code UFB!!!
The preliminary global sea-surface temperature for November 4th was more than 7.5 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean. In "normal times" the odds of this would be about 33,000,000,000,000-to-1 against.

‼️EXTRAORDINARY
MOST EXTREME EVENT EVER IN WORLD CLIMATIC HISTORY
45C from North to South Africa
Dozens of thousands of records brutalized with the hugest margins ever seen even 10C above the old records.
From North to South, from East to West every record in every single country is being completely trounced.
Never happened anything like this anywhere
In 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise. Imagine if we had listened to him them.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate
Nothing beats the horrors that will come from this anthropogenic greenhouse gas forcing.
The heating from a greenhouse gas forcing of 4.2 W/m² is equivalent to more than a billion Hiroshima bombs per year.
If we reach 1.5°C, this is what is going to happen:
‼️Every fraction of a degree matters—beyond 1.5°C, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate#climate#energy#renewables
El Niño is everywhere in the headlines, but ultimately human-caused climate change is the key reason for the record global warmth. 📈

CERES just released its August data.
Here's the latest update on the 12-month running average for Earth albedo showing a slight increase.
The Climate Casino is speculating that it is due to more reflective clouds across the central and eastern Pacific ocean due to El Nino.
Diesel is over $6. Trump's fix is 2.25 million barrels of Russian diesel, or about ~16 hours' worth in the US.
Meanwhile, China sold over 400,000 electric freight trucks last year, more than 20x as many as the US.
They're building the future. We're renting the past. https://t.co/oeAAOW7QJW
Hey MAGA it’s James Talarico in Dubai with his mistress…. *checks notes*
My apologies it’s Ken Paxton with his mistress in Dubai with criminals indicted for healthcare fraud.
The more you know ...
The 4-year running average for the global temperature anomaly is forecast to break the Paris Limit of 1.5°C over the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline on November 17, 2026.
We'll be covering the moment. Stay tuned!
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."
A new study has examined 20,736 scientific publications about climate tipping points. Several of those are estimated to be crossed around 1.5 degrees warming, i.e. any time soon: permafrost thaw, Greenland Ice Sheet, North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre.
