This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

They want to close the NOAA lab (GML) that brings you this, the most iconic time series in the environmental sciences. gml.noaa.gov/ccgg/trends/
A scientific line graph titled “Atmospheric CO₂ at Mauna Loa Observatory.” The graph displays the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) mole fraction measured in parts per million (ppm) from the year 1958 to 2025.

The x-axis represents the year, ranging from 1958 to just past 2020.

The y-axis represents CO₂ mole fraction in ppm, ranging from 310 to 430.

The data is represented by a jagged red and black line that shows both seasonal fluctuations and a long-term upward trend.

Key observations:

CO₂ mole fraction starts at around 315 ppm in 1958.

The graph shows a steady upward trajectory, with seasonal oscillations (up and down) superimposed on the trend.

By 2025, the CO₂ level exceeds 420 ppm.

Logos for Scripps Institution of Oceanography and NOAA appear in the bottom right corner. The date "2025-June-05" is printed vertically on the far right edge of the image.

In 2024, Europe was the world’s fastest-warming continent. It had its hottest year on record, impacting an estimated 413,000 people. Sea surface temperatures also reached new highs. As our planet heats up, urgent action is more critical than ever.
Two circular maps of Europe from the "European State of the Climate Report 2024" by the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service. The left map shows temperature anomalies and extremes in 2024, with most of Europe shaded in red tones indicating warmer to much warmer than average temperatures. The right map displays precipitation anomalies and extremes in 2024, with much of western and central Europe in shades of blue indicating wetter than average conditions, while eastern regions show brown shades representing drier conditions. Colour scales at the bottom of each map range from "coolest" to "warmest" (left) and "driest" to "wettest" (right).

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”
A screenshot of the Die Zeit website. It is a photo of Musk in black and white doing the Hitler “seig heil” salute - but the actual salute is blocked out by blue material on the left hand side of the photo. The headline is underneath.
