'In 2025, for the first time on record, this upwelling didn’t occur...

...the Panama Pacific upwelling has likely been happening since the isthmus formed millions of years ago. The phenomenon has been recorded at low resolution for 80 yrs, & scientists have 40 yrs’ worth of more detailed records.'

Eos @eos.org · 2d

The failure of the Panama Pacific upwelling this year is a “shocking extreme event,” says Scripps climate modeler Shang-Ping Xie.

The unprecedented failure of tropical upwelling will likely affect the country’s fisheries. Scientists aren’t certain whether it will happen again next year.

" #Taizhou/China
On October 14,
a car suddenly plunged into a river, trapping its occupant.
Without hesitation, a brave man jumped into the cold water, smashed the sunroof, and saved the trapped man's life."

#Taizhou/China
Am 14. Oktober stürzte
ein Auto plötzlich in einen Fluss und schloss seinen Insassen ein.
Ohne zu zögern sprang ein mutiger Mann ins kalte Wasser,zertrümmerte das Schiebedach und rettete dem eingeschlossenen Mamn das Leben.

Code UFB!!!

The currently predicted October 25th global anomaly is 1.28°C (1981-2010 baseline). The "delta" between the 1981-2010 baseline and the 1850-1900 baseline for October 25th is 0.62°C.

Adding, we get 1.28°C + 0.62°C = 1.90°C above the pre-industrial baseline.

Your 'moment of doom' for Oct. 20, 2025 ~ All life.

"In some parts of the world, daytime temperature and humidity are now approaching levels at which it will be dangerous for people to be outside because they will not be able to cool down by sweating.

www.express.co.uk/news/science...

'Climate change could make it dangerous for humans to go outside – we must act'

There are parts of the world in which people won't be able to cool by sweating if this trajectory continues.

Oh dear, that doesn't sound good.

On those overshoot diagrams I suppose we could also start tracking the overshoot of the human population so as billions die we'll know once we're back within the carrying capacity of the planet. (If the ppl doing the tracking make it through the collapse gauntlet)

Pope Leo XIV takes aim at climate skeptics as he embraces predecessor’s environmental legacy

Pope Leo XIV took aim at skeptics who “ridicule those who speak of global warming,” as he strongly embraced Pope Francis’ environmental legacy and made it his own in some of his strongest and most extensive comments to date.

NOAA did not post a CO2 average for September, 2025. Based on all of the available data, CO2 averaged 424.41 ppm for Sept., 2025, a gain of 2.38 ppm from Sept., 2024.

The mean rate of CO2 growth (ppm growth per 3 years) is near an all-time high.
