This 150M cat bond for Jamaica has a trigger design that uses hurricane central pressure and location.

That data is being collected by NOAA Hurricane Hunters who are currently working without pay.

Mer de Glace yesterday from a little above Gare du Montenvers. The glacier lost about 200m of depth at this location because of climate change, and around 150m since 1990 only.

A jaw-dropping view of the sun setting on Hurricane Melissa tonight.

Melissa continues its approach to Jamaica as a powerful, major hurricane.

Wild to see #94L and #Humberto juxtaposed like this: much more Pacific-ish than Atlantic-ish.

Big forecast headaches loom, possibly for days to come, with #94L sandwiched between #Humberto + a cutoff low in the SE US. Unusual setups are tough for models.

😢 How are flights so much cheaper than trains?
Indeed, why are we forced to pick between cheap & polluting and expensive & sustainable?

Well @greenpeace.eu has the answer: subsidies and MASSIVE tax breaks.

A bright green poster with bold white and pink text at the top: “TRAINS ARE TOO OFTEN MORE EXPENSIVE THAN FLIGHTS.” Below it reads: “Sustainable travel shouldn’t be a luxury.” A color-coded map of Europe shows the proportion of cross-border train routes that are more expensive than flights for the same journey. Colors: green (0–20%), yellow (20–40%), orange (40–60%), red (60–80%), purple (80–100%). For example, Spain, Portugal, and the UK are shaded purple (80–100%), while countries like Poland and Czechia are shaded green (0–20%). At the bottom, source text reads: “Greenpeace, Ticket Prices Of Planes Vs Trains, 2025. Only countries for which at least 4 cross-border routes met the methodological criteria are included in the Scorecard.”

Green background with bold text: “WHY ARE TRAINS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN PLANES?” Below is a comparison table with icons of a plane and a train at the top. Two rows:
VAT on international travel: Plane = “NO” (pink), Train = “YES” (yellow).
Kerosene/energy tax: Plane = “NO” (pink), Train = “YES” (yellow).
The chart highlights that flights avoid taxes trains must pay. Source: Greenpeace, Ticket Prices Of Planes Vs Trains, 2025.

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

The big difference is that Putin considers people living in Crimea/Donbass as Russian. Russsia forces them to get and use Russian passports.
The situation in Gaza is obviously different!
