Strong El Niño periods often appear as an upward stairstep in long-term plots of global temperatures — but this El Niño, because of its expected intensity, could be worth two stairsteps instead of one.

NATURAL FERTILIZER FACTORIES:
Pulses grab nitrogen from the air & convert it into plant food. This means they enrich the soil naturally, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers! #NitrogenFixation #RegenerativeAg

Insane self-blinding of the US. They are throwing away their investment in the ocean observation system and its benefits.
The only explanation I can think of: they don’t want the people to know what their fossil fuel emissions are doing to our oceans.

RECORD DAILY ARCTIC SEA ICE LOW 12 JUNE
12 June 2026 Arctic sea ice record daily low.
Loss of sea ice is now starting to decrease albedo cooling- the ice albedo amplifying feedback. nsidc.org/sea-ice-today/sea-…

Global warming is cutting the production of phytoplankton in the North Atlantic, undermining the entire food web and limiting its ability to soak up carbon, a new study reveals. Looks serious….

The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850.
It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

June 12 update:
Arctic sea ice extent has fallen to a new daily record low in the NSIDC record.
2026: 10.620 million km²
Previous June 12 record: 10.767 million km² (2016)
That’s a new record by about 147,000 km². The long-term decline is hard to miss.
🧊📉Certain circles have been blabbing on about alleged “record cold” in the Arctic; however, the sea ice data tells a VERY DIFFERENT story.
NSIDC Arctic sea ice extent plummeted to a new daily record low extent for June 11:
2026: 10.759 million km²
Old record: 10.778 million km² in 2016

China went from ~11% electricity in 2000 to nearly 30% in 2024. Fastest in the Global South by far.
Indonesia is the other big mover, up nearly 17 percentage points from a low base, while India added a bit over 8 points.

Every time we choose concrete over wetlands,pesticides over soil health,extractx over regeneration,we declare our technology superior to 3.8 billion years of evolution.
It’s not.
Let’s shift from domination to collaboration with nature.That’s the intelligence the future need

"We are losing biodiversity at a rate unparalleled in human history." Global wildlife populations have sunk over 60% since 1970.
We are destroying ourselves and taking nature with us.
Time to protect people and the planet.

Maybe this should be in the news??
Region Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperatures are in record territory, approaching 3 standard deviations above the 1982-2011 mean, an anomaly that has never happened before in recorded history.

RECORD ACCELERATED RADIATIVE HEAT FORCING, 2025
Nice image from Hansen. 2025 was record 3.2 W/m²
Acceleration obvious from 1960, also increased 2010 with the reduction of aerosol cooling. Drives global warming that can therefore only continue to increase, and accelerate.
1.5°C is no temporary overshoot as we are told.
