Hypothetically, if you were to be thrown out of a plane over an arboretum, which tree are you aiming at for the softest possible landing?

Good question 🎯
"Mr. Farage, you say you're a new reforming force in politics. How can you claim that if - by your own definition - you're bringing in so many people that cause the mess you're trying to clear up?"
Vote for Reform UK and get the very worst of the Tories...

‘Defecting to the reform party’ is a polite euphemism for telling guests at a dinner party that you need to go for a poo.
“I’d love to hear all about your holiday in Sardinia but first I just need to defect to the reform party”

Last year was the third hottest on record, despite the fact that 2025 was a La Niña, a cooling phase in the equatorial Pacific Ocean that suppresses global temperatures.
Translation: heating is accelerating like never before.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

Years ago my friend Dave’s then-four-year-old son walked into a room, looked at Dave, and said, “Well, well, well. If it isn’t Mr. Daddy.”

And now we know that the volume of #Arctic sea ice also dropped to a record low in October (zacklabe.com/archive-2025/).
It's been a historic fall in the #Arctic, which is already a season of rapid climate change. Not good.

October 2025 was the warmest October on record for the #Arctic. Arctic sea-ice extent is currently the lowest on record for late November. My newest 'climate viz of the month' summarizes some of this latest data: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-...

Looking at extent rather than volume used to be how climate change deniers would try and hide what was happening. Sooner or later pesky facts will always get in the way.
🚨 Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data)
• about 910,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 1,500,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 2,170,000 km² below the 1990s mean
