#OnThisDay in 1872, the expedition of HMS Challenger set sail from Portsmouth, travelling nearly 70,00 nautical miles and cataloguing over 4000 unknown species over 4 years. This pioneering expedition, organised by the Royal Society, laid the foundations of oceanography.

The importance of NCAR and the damage wrought by Trump administration actions is very well summarised by Ben Santer in this article @ueaenv.bsky.social @climateuea.bsky.social
"Attempting to erase a country’s scientific heritage, as the Trump administration is now trying to do, should be of concern to every US citizen. Because if climate science is viewed with disfavor today, other fields of scientific inquiry might be next in line for the chopping block."—Ben Santer.
Threatening NCAR, Trump administration seeks to extinguish a beacon of climate science
The Trump administration’s world view is that the US doesn’t need a climate science brain trust because it doesn’t like what the brains say.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

As we move into the final days of the year, 2025 has just overtaken 2022 as warmest year-to-date for Central England.
Given the forecast, it looks likely that 2025 will end up being the warmest calendar year for this region since records began in 1659.
The top 3 warmest will be 2022, 2023 & 2025.
