Your 'moment of doom' for July 22, 2025 ~ Once and future ice. "Winter warming in the Arctic has long reached melting point and is reshaping Arctic landscapes. These winter warming events are seen by many as anomalies, but this is the new Arctic" downtoearth.org.in/climate-change…

Your 'moment of doom' for July 18, 2025 ~ Almighty 'they' "Their actions could effectively determine whether the world succeeds in limiting global heating to less than catastrophic levels." theguardian.com/environment/20…

Your 'moment of neo-fascist kakistocracy' for today ~ Paywall alert! "it would eliminate the bedrock scientific finding that greenhouse-gas emissions threaten human life by dangerously warming the planet." nytimes.com/2025/07/22/cli…

Your 'moment of doom' for July 23, 2025 ~ The planet where it happened. "When energy, food and water all go at once, societies start to unravel. That is the new normal we need to be ready for." aljazirahnews.com/climate-change…

While Trump throws everything he can to distract from the Epstein scandal, the focus on this neo-fascist kakistocracy by every mainstream media outlet (except Fox) distracts us from the ongoing collapse of civilization and sixth great extinction. Sad for every living thing.

Really, "running out of road?" Whatever happened to "the era of global boiling has arrived" or "climate time bomb is ticking"? Guterres' climate change metaphors are about as frantic as a doomsday prepper at a peanut butter clearance sale. theguardian.com/environment/vi…

For anyone interested in understanding the causes of the rapid warming of the North Atlantic in 2023 and possible causes for the continued warming of the global oceans in 2025, I highly recommend: youtube.com/live/39T7bW7KA…

Crazy rapid heating going on right now in the world's oceans as global sea surface temperatures continue to spike. SSTs are roughly 25 days away from their mid-year peak. Will they break 21.0°C again? The climate 8-ball says that SSTs are the canary in the ... oh, never mind.

Your 'moment of doom' for July 21, 2025 ~ Windows! "We need to face this head on: the window to stay within 1.5°C is essentially shut. Even if we can bring temperatures back down in future, it will be a long and difficult road." theconversation.com/only-3-years-l…

Breaking News! Code Yikes! Yesterday, Antarctic sea-ice extent reached 4 standard deviations below the 1991-2020 daily mean. The other years on record where this happened are 2023 and 2024. In a normal distribution, 4 SD's is a 1-in-31,600 event. These are not normal times.

Your 'moment of doom' for July 20, 2025 ~ Known unknowns. "wildfire emissions in 2023, the worst fire year in Canada's history, reached one billion tonnes — significantly more than the 694 million tonnes of emissions attributed to human activity." cbc.ca/news/science/n…

Breaking News! The 2025 year-to-date temperature anomaly is now under 1.50°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC pre-industrial baseline. How will the rest of the year go? The climate 8-ball has been drinking.

Your 'moment of doom' for July 19, 2025 ~ Yes. "Does climate change make nuclear war more likely? Could climate change push society to take dangerous risks with artificial intelligence?" gizmodo.com/is-climate-cha…

Who is stupid?

Your 'bonus moment of doom' for today: Canary alert! "The Russian government has no alternative to offer its citizens except the destruction of nature for profit and war" theguardian.com/environment/20…

Here are the daily warming stripes for global sea-surface temperature anomalies, updated through July 17, 2025. Can you tell that global SSTs are currently 3rd warmest on record for the day?
