Hello my name is Rich and I accept the reality of how bad climate change is. The first step to solve any problem is to accept you have a problem #stayinformedcc

What frustrates me about this subject is how many people will not accept how bad #climatechange is. Most people are more worried about the price of gas going up. They can’t see the big picture and when I try to show them the big picture they get defensive. Ignorance is bliss #stayinformedcc

The significant ongoing tidal flooding event in the #Miami area is caused by a few coincident components:
1) the full moon on October 6, which happens to be near perigee (October 8)
2) sea level rise adds ~8 inches to the baseline sea level used in NOAA tide predictions

I’m a climate scientist. Trump’s U.N. address is a fire hose of misinformation

OPINION: “What Trump is really doing is advancing a plan laid down years ago by plutocrats and polluters. And making a mockery of our country as he does so,” Michael E. Mann writes.

Globally, August 2025 ranked as the third hottest ever recorded. It was also separately the 4th warmest August for global land areas and the 3rd warmest for global ocean areas.

+ Data by NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0: www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...
+ Monthly summary: www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monit...

A line graph shows the time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each August from 1850 through 2025. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly in August 2025 was 1.07°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. A map of temperature anomalies in August 2025 is also shown. Red shading is for warmer than average temperatures, and blue shading is shown for colder than average temperatures. The climatological baseline on the map is relative to 1971 to 2000. All data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0 on this graphic.

Temperature anomalies over the last month (left), 3 months (center), and 12 months (right) across the Southern Hemisphere. Red areas denote warmer than average temperatures and blue areas colder than average.

Data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social ERA5 reanalysis at doi.org/10.24381/cds...

Three orthographic maps showing 2-m air temperature anomalies in August 2025, June 2025 to August 2025, and September 2024 to August 2025 in the Southern Hemisphere while looking downward at the South Pole. Blue shading is shown for colder anomalies, and red shading is shown for warmer anomalies. The mean surface temperature anomaly for each region and period is also shown in the upper left of each map. Anomalies are computed relative to 1981-2010.

Sea ice in the Beaufort Sea (north of Alaska, NW Canada) has likely reached the lowest extent of 2025. However, the ice distribution is unusual, with large areas of open water 74N-78N but ice persisting farther south. This ice will be easily moved by winds in the coming week. #akwx #Arctic #SeaIce

Left: Daily sea ice extent in the Beaufort Sea 1979 to 2025 with the past two years and the smoothed 1991-2020 median highlighted. Right: NWS Alaska Region sea ice program sea ice concentration analysis to September 13, 2025.
