There are a bunch of specific things I like about our permitting bill, beyond the big important stuff — that it will lower electric costs and emissions, and lift wind, solar and battery power (BIG lift for battery), and add LOTS of good jobs.🧵

Another season of tracking freezing degree days in the high Arctic has ended. This is a simple measure of relative cold integrated with time. This past year was quite anomalous again, consistent with a rapidly warming Arctic system. ☑️ Follow temperatures along daily at: zacklabe.com/arctic-tempe...

There is a long-term warming trend in this dataset. Data is from ERA40 and the operational ECMWF NWP model. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1958-2002 mean.

Abnormally, potentially record-breaking temperatures will impact southern California and stretch north toward the Bay Area and Central Valley through next week.

Heat Wave Mainly For Coastal California Through Much Of Next Week Bullet Points:Prolonged, Dangerous Heat Wave: Higher than typical October temperatures will impact Coastal Southern California up through the Bay Area and Central Valley through next week. Major to Extreme HeatRisk and several daily high temperature records are expected this weekend well into next week. Heat of this intensity can endanger anyone without adequate cooling or hydration. High Temperatures, Little Night Relief: Temperatures will run 15 to 20 degrees above normal, pushing coastal areas well into the 90s and adjacent urban and some Central Valley areas around 100°F. Overnight lows in the mid to upper 70s in the Los Angeles and San Diego urban areas will provide little relief through the heat wave. Stay Safe in Extreme Heat: Protect yourself and others by staying hydrated, using air conditioning or cooling centers, limiting sun exposure, and checking on vulnerable relatives and neighbors. Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles, as interior temperatures reach extreme levels within minutes. Late-season fall heat waves can be just as dangerous as summer heat. Maps Overview:Max High Temps Through 10/9: Shows high temperatures ranging from 85°F to 105°F+ (orange to dark red) across Coastal California, the Bay Area, Central Valley, and Southern California (including Sacramento, San Francisco, King City, Los Angeles, and San Diego). Max HeatRisk Through 10/9: Shows widespread 3-Major (red) and 4-Extreme (purple) HeatRisk along the California coast and Southern California regions, with 1-Minor (yellow) to 2-Moderate (orange) risk inland.

Saturn is centered in the wide oval of its rings, on black. Half the globe is pure white, overexposed; a thin twilight line divides it from the dark night side.
The rings are beige, pale brown and dark brown, with many fine concentric bands. Saturn’s shadow cuts across them as a solid black wedge extending to the right.
