I'm from #Iceland, deeply passionate about #climate issues. As a #humanist and #atheist, I embrace a worldview centered on reason, compassion, and evidence, while remaining open to the many facets that define me.

The OVER is going to win this year, based on my OVER/UNDER line of 1.45°C for 2025.
And if another El Nino comes to pass, then 1.60°C should be in the rear view window for 2026. That would make 2026, in scientific lingo, a "bad hair year."

Extent, volume and thickness are three ways to measure Arctic sea-ice. Extent is currently at a record low for the day. Volume hit a record monthly low in each of the last two months.
And "thickness" just set an all-time record low in October.

Hot times ahead.

Strange times when you find yourself figuratively applauding Marjorie Taylor Greene for picking a fight with Trump. The woman practically embodies the MAGA mindset in motion. Are we watching the implosion of the MAGA regime, or just another episode of reality TV politics?

One of the side effects of Prince Andrew losing his royal status is that he no longer gets an Icelandic name. In Icelandic tradition, we translate the names of hereditary heads of state and popes. But since Andrew is no longer royalty, he’s no longer Andrés - now he's just Andrew.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

We're probably on track for more than 3°C of heating, and with the orange clown back in the White House, it's only going to be speeding up.

Is there no bottom to this man’s pettiness, or does it just tunnel straight to the earth’s core? Read the Major Events timeline, for the years 1998, 2013, 2023, 2024. It’s less a biography and more a spite-fueled art installation. Is this hilarious or something else entirely?

Reagan believed free trade was vital for growth, warning that tariffs and protectionism hurt everyone, including the U.S. He talked tough against unfair foreign practices, but only used tariffs as a “necessary evil” when diplomacy failed. Bottom line: Reagan preferred open markets, not trade wars.

Been warning about that. Can’t wait for the headlines explaining how ‘technically’ this still counts as democracy - even as it’s blatantly rigged.
Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

What strikes me as odd is that companies and individuals are donating to build the ballroom. To me, that reeks of corruption.
Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

"Viewpoint diversity" about whether human activity is warming the planet, or whether vaccines work, is like "viewpoint diversity" about whether the sky is blue or whether the Earth is round. It falls outside the range of good faith scientific and academic discourse.

Israel’s “ceasefire” strategy: bomb first, announce peace later, repeat until everyone’s thoroughly confused and Gaza’s hospitals overflow. Humanitarian aid? Maybe next time - right after the next airstrike, of course! What a masterclass in conflict resolution.
