Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

The last three months really highlight just how widespread the unusually warm sea surface temperatures are found. In addition El Niño, there are several large marine heat waves, with one of the largest departures still across the North Pacific. Data from www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt... 🌊
Global map showing sea surface temperature anomalies in July-August-September 2026 relative to 1982 to 2010. Most areas are warmer than average. Red is shown for warmer sea surface temperatures, and blue is shown for colder sea surface temperatures. Data is from NOAA OISSTv2.1.

Folks in positions of power and authority need to internalize the fact that climate change, once it happens, is essentially irreversible. Even if we stopped adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere tomorrow, we're still stuck living with the warming to date for centuries.

In discussions outside the climate research community, I find that folks often don't realize or appreciate the permanence, on human time-scales, of today's actions and choices. What we do and choose now is vital because it will determine the future of the climate for centuries.

Smoke is seen in the distance across an expanse of water caused by a fast-moving wildfire near Lacanau in  southwestern France. In the foreground a middle aged couple are seen from behind relaxing on their beach loungers under a sun umbrella - as if it’s an entirely normal holiday.
