Make Polluters Pay International @makepolluterpayint.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
🌍 Today at the UN, we presented 2 million+ signatures calling for fossil-fuel companies to pay for the climate damage they cause. The powerful response: “Polluters must pay… We are with you. Use every tool at your disposal to hold the polluters accountable. You are on the right side of history."

Maybe the Americans should rename the Strait of Hormuz to the "Strait of America" so we can get headlines like "U.S. Attacks Island in Strait of America; Iran Retaliates With Missile Fire". Just to so the US can attack itself. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/30/a...

There is substantial interannual and daily variability. Seasonal cycles are visible.

The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2025. 2026 is shown with a thick gold line.
