I don't think most Americans understand yet what a global laggard the USA is turning into here. Media instead told us that electric vehicles were a fad that didn't work.

We have reached the place where Ukraine is justified in attacking an American oil tanker at a Russian fuel port, using American munitions, to prevent a diesel sale in US dollars that would be used to fund the purchase of Russian weapons that might predictably be used against Ukraine or NATO allies.

President Donald Trump has few options to reduce diesel prices given the destruction done to refineries by the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

The atmosphere just hit a new water-vapour record: 27.35 kg of water vapour per m2 in August 2026, ~20 trillion litres more water than the previous record. Warmer air holds ~7% more moisture per °C. More water vapour means more energy to fuel extreme weather.

This is one reason the #water used for cooling at #datacenters is a problem: this scale and concentration of energy demand requires massive cooling, which in turn will require massive amounts of water, depending on the cooling method.

An El Niño-induced coastally-trapped Kelvin wave will likely raise water levels about 9-14 inches (relative to 1993-2025 averages) along the California coast in early October. Water temperatures will also increase. The sudden increase will be as much as “the entire climate change anomaly in one go”

Woman, looking at phone: my God, these Trump people are racist 
Man, angrily pointing his finger: that attitude is what's pushing me to be racist! 
Frame 2:
Woman: say what? 
Man: might as well! You say I'm a Nazi, so, fine, I'll be a Nazi if that makes you happy. 
Frame 3:
Woman, confused: it... Doesn't 
Man, now holding a Nazi uniform: I bought this waffen SS uniform for Halloween. You'll cry offensive so maybe I'll just wear it everyday.
