Line graph time series of 2026's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. 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. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between February and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.
Monday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the 4th lowest on record (JAXA data)
• about 370,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 940,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,300,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,790,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Die Lösung wäre einfach @markusmarterbauer.bsky.social :
- Übergewinn im Vgl zu letzten 2 Jahren durch 100%-Abzocke-Steuer & Strafe von Energiekonzernen & Tankstellenbetreibern abschöpfen
- Zusätzliche Einnahmen in sozialen Ausgleich und/oder Klimaschutz investieren
- Abzocke endet, Inflation sinkt

As we approach the 15th anniversary of Tokyo Electric's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant meltdown disaster on 3/11/11, remember that radioactive isotopes from it were found in tuna caught off of San Diego in August 2011 and in Napa wine produced after 2011.

"The Ukrainians have become the world’s experts in counter-drone warfare. After withstanding more than a year of American pressure to accede to Russia’s demands and essentially surrender, it’s not obvious Ukraine would still want to help us. We’re grateful they do." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

We're in uncharted territory- if WTI crude holds these gains tomorrow- the current rise of 29.9% or $27.16/bbl would be its largest single day price jump- in both percent and amount- ever. Ever. EVER.

Reasons for climate optimism – part 25
A number of promising technologies to achieve emission reductions in carbon-intensive industries, often based on electrification, are reaching maturity and may soon see widespread deployment.

US-Israeli Bombs Strike ‘The Fourth School in 6 Days’ in Iran: Report.

China's push toward electrification has reduced its oil exposure, meaning its 1.4 billion-barrel reserves provide 120 days of import cushion. Its dominance of clean energy supply chains also gives it growing leverage as hydrocarbon reliability erodes.
