“… we were just saying the same thing over and over with more data. So I felt like I was just rewriting the obituary of the ocean. And that day, … I decided to quit academia and become a conservationist full time.”

Changes in May #Arctic sea ice volume since the year 1901...

Comparison between PIOMAS-20C and PIOMAS data sets now updated through 2025 with data information available at doi.org/10.1175/JCLI.... This graphic is available at zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-i....
Line graph time series for Arctic sea ice volume in every May from 1901 through 2025. Two datasets are compared between PIOMAS-20C (a blue line) and PIOMAS v2.1 (a dashed red line). There is large interannual variability, but a long-term decreasing trend since 1990.

🚨 Carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels set a new monthly *record high* in May 2025 - 430.51 ppm (seasonal maximum)

This is the second largest May-May increase in this dataset (3.6 ppm higher than 2024). This is not good... 🫣

Data from gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
Red line graph time series of monthly carbon dioxide abundance from January 1959 through May 2025. There is a seasonal cycle and long-term increasing trend. Current levels of CO2 are at 431 ppm. This is the Keeling Curve graph. A line for CO2 10 years ago is also annotated.

Not very romantic, but informing. It is not by empty rethoric about net zero that we are going to reach it.

Nice proposal! While some countries are tempted to profit from the sacrifices of others [ahem!] without making any themselves, Boyer and Gollier propose that the EU and Canada unite to set a single price for carbon and impose a tax at their borders on external countries that avoid this constraint.
« L’Union européenne et le Canada devraient nouer une coalition climatique pour sauver l’accord de Paris »
TRIBUNE. Alors que certains pays sont tentés de profiter des sacrifices des autres sans en faire eux-mêmes, les économistes Marcel Boyer et Christian Gollier suggèrent, dans une tribune au « Monde », ...

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update.

#Arctic sea ice extent still remains the *lowest* on record for the date (JAXA). Not good
Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between January and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

Amazing.

The reasons I was given:

-> I did not demonstrate that my work was in the public interest, and my ability, knowledge and/or skills did not match NOAA's needs.

More soon. It will be okay.

Yo preguntándome que había pasado hoy, que la fecha me sonaba importante. Era esto. ¡Gracias!
