You can appreciate the scale of the unusual polar warming in Oct 2025 when you look at both poles at once. Antarctica was not just warmer than average on net, it was anomalously warm almost everywhere & by quite a bit (& this is with a rel. warm ref period, '86/15). Similar for the high Arctic. 🥵🧪⚒️🌊

As Mark points out downthread the obvious explanation for this is media consumption and partisanship.
Both a forcing & a feedback to these is the self-radicalization of big tech, big money / media / Elites chudocracy, which coincides with this decoupling point.

Probably worth noting that this decoupling coincides with the Andreesen et al. / SV / VC / tech bro / media / chudocracy group chats self-radicalization, which obviously both drives and responds to media consumption & partisanship factors.

DID YOU KNOW? At over 4 meters long & tipping the scales at 500kg, the largest invertebrate alive today was previously believed to be the colossal squid.
However, as of November 9, 2025 this enormous cephalopod lost the title of 'biggest spineless creature' to Schumer's Senate Democratic caucus.
