Got some snow up here on Monday, and it felt like a flashback to the 80's or 90's. Winters here are so mild now.

Heat map-style graphic showing monthly air temperature rankings in the Arctic at the 925 hPa level for each month from January 1979 to October 2025. There is a long-term warming trend evident in each month. Blue shading is shown for colder months, and red shading is shown for warmer months. A yellow number is shown for each grid box to display the actual temperature ranking. October 2025 was the 4th warmest October on record.
Not every month will set a new record, but the warming trend is obvious. This graphic shows #Arctic air temperature rank by month over the satellite era - now updated through October 2025... π§ͺ

World βvery likelyβ to exceed 1.5C climate goal in next decade: UN
Despite Paris Agreement pledges, countries 'have landed off target' on climate goals multiple times, the UN warns.
Okay, yes, humanity did not enact the single best possible outcome in response to the single worst problem we have ever faced as a species
In no way was it wrong to try, and in no way is it wrong to continue trying to jam a wrench in the greedy fossil fuel economy. Everything is still on the table

@justinjackson.ca listening to your Oct 6th episodeβs discussion about good social networks being made of nerds. If that was the case, mastodon would be scratching that itch. I think influencer culture has ruined it. People werenβt trying to make a career of their food pictures on early twitter
