For 223 straight days, Earth's sea surface temperatures have been at all-time record warm levels.
That's 7 months and 9 days straight.
An unprecedented amount of oceanic warmth never seen before in modern history.

NATURE IS DWINDLING: A diverse set of mammals once roamed the planet. This changed dramatically with the arrival of humans. Since then, wild land mammal biomass has declined by ~ 85%. Humans & their livestock are now dominant.

About 500 million birds are predicted to migrate across the U.S. each night this weekend!
Lights at night can be very disorienting to birds during their long fall migration. To help prevent deadly bird collisions, turn off or dim unnecessary lights!
Graphic: BirdCast
ALT Map of America has heat map coloring to indicate level of migratory birds expected. Purple, reds and oranges dominate the American West to indicate low migration, while the east half of the country is a bright yellow white to indicate high levels. Main text reads "Night of October 15, 2023," and "542 million birds predicted." At the bottom is the graphic title, BirdCast, and the subhead 'Bird migration forecast.'

A wise person once said that you will experience climate change through a series of increasingly wild videos, until you are the one taking the video.

New York's old rainfall record stood for 150 years until 2021, and has now been broken three times.
Hot air holds more water vapor than cold; flooding follows fossil fuel combustion as night follows day.

Major flooding in Brooklyn today. Trains shut down and the only way out of the station is through this.

I graduated from all-Black segregated Mulberry Heights High School in #Elba, AL nearly 6 decades ago, at a time when #JimCrow laws kept me out of the local library. Today, I am being inducted into the @Americanacad. I am chuckling after writing 18 books! @BullardCenter

Study shows there’s twice as much plastic on the planet than animals (by weight). How awful.

Earth just had its hottest three months on record - @WMO & @CopernicusECMWF
Limiting human-caused #GlobalWarming requires #NetZero CO2 emissions.
Limiting warming to 1.5°C & 2°C involves rapid, deep & in most cases immediate #GHG emission reductions.

Texas energy policy often makes more sense when you see it as an effort to bolster or enrich the fossil fuel sector, and less as an effort to improve the power grid.

Sadly, biodiversity loss has become an increasingly bigger problem as roughly 27,000 species go extinct every year. This can be attributed to both land use and climate change.

Report gives ERCOT a D for transmission planning and development. The fact that we're having to curtail the enormous amount of solar being produced today because of insufficient transmission backs this up. #txenergy

Released today: A timely, new @CleanEnergyGrid report card that ranks transmission planning & development across the country.
