Whatever pretext to hold on to power and conquer Palestinian lands.

This year's El Niño continues its climb into uncharted waters; Niño3.4 region anomalies are now at a 3.4C above normal (how fitting!), higher than any prior El Niño event on record. September monthly Niño3.4 anomalies also set a record at 2.9C (beating 2015 and 1877's 2.75C).

And Niño 1+2 region anomalies are at a stunning 5.3C, far above any prior year.

I don't always agree with @maxfawcett.bsky.social, but he never has a lazy thought.

When I lived on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, we would occasionally see Orcas and Humpback whales. The occasion *never* failed to elicit ohs and ahs from onlookers. We react instinctively with awe to their power and magnificence.

What goes on in Israel at present is horrible, intolerable, but it is not Zionism. It's the same impulse to conquer and colonize as Putin's and Trump's. But the idea of having a land where a Jew is safe from the hostility of the world, this is deeply-rooted in the soul of Jewry.

You may be too young to know this, but the hippies promoting solar and wind energy in the 60's and 70's were motivated by self-sufficiency. It's a motivating factor that later vanished, but is re-surfacing today under different geopolitics.

The bad things that we can already imagine are frightening, but the things beyond that may be more frightening still. I recall the excitement when The Internet first became accessible, with new possibilities becaming open to us. None of us ever imagined Spam email, the banal poison of the internet.

Among the bad things is how AI would shape online information. Since online is our main source of information, the owners of AI, not known for their benevolence, would effectively control and shape what we know.

Fishermen along Latin America's Pacific coast are reeling in half-empty nets as ocean warming aggravated by El Nino causes tuna, anchovies and other top catches to migrate to cooler waters. In Panama, small-scale fishermen are struggling with extra fuel and ice costs.

The argument I make is much longer than the space offered here and it makes no sense to even begin. I've made it already on LinkedIn and, despite some skepticism, have yet to read a proper rebuttal. "It's never gonna happen" is not one.

When climate extremes trigger an international agreement to limit emissions, then it will compel emission reductions that have so far been voluntary. That agreement, resisted by FF interests, may come in 2050, but it may come much sooner, like in 2033. FF consumption will plummet afterwards.

André Sobolewski @andre-sobolewski.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Much of the argument is about how long the demand for FF will last. If you ignore climate change, as some Albertans do, it'll last until 2070. But if you account for it and look outside your window, it might be closer to 2035-2040. That makes it a highly risky investment that we shouldn't backstop.

You also describe the bureaucracy as sclerotic, but seem unhappy with Carney's business-minded remedy. More politics and less business seems like your prescrition. Fine, but he certainly couldn't do worse than the previous occupant(s).

I hear the calls to run the government less like a business, but agree that "it’s better to face a demanding boss who delivers results than a pleasant boss who tolerates mediocrity (which describes the previous government well)." We need this discipline in the face of American economic hostility.

As A.I. capabilities accelerate, the technologist is shocked by the “complete lack of engagement” with the question of how to manage its risks.

This is the era of advice for free, brought to you by the internet. No one wanted to pay for valuable advice from a professional, so everyone turned to the internet, where you could get it for free. Every huckster rushed in to peddle their shit, eventually leading to Kennedy.
