This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

"uncharted territory" "unprecedented" But not unpredictable. This has been foreseen and ignored.

NEW: Aaron Szabo, the Trump EPA official leading an effort to loosen rules on methane pollution, was an unnamed author of key oil industry arguments against those same rules just four years ago when he was an oil and gas lobbyist, metadata shows.

Arctic sea ice volume was at a record low for the time of year on March 30, 2026. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2026/03/sign...

Trump decisions have accelerated the triple planetary crisis: Climate breakdown Biodiversity collapse Pollution overload We are racing toward irreversible tipping points,and the vulnerable masses in Africa, Asia, and island nations will pay the heaviest price.

Every time I hear men talk about destroying this planet so they can travel to a dead one, I think about how miraculous the existence of Earth is, and how capitalists should never be permitted to make decisions about space exploration.

Spring is arriving across much of the West more than 20 days earlier than average when looking at when plants first leaf-out - even reaching almost to Canada! I'd expect significant ecological impacts from the heat this March. Graphic/data from @usa-npn.bsky.social: www.usanpn.org/data/maps/sp...

Been really struggling to wrap my mind around this graph. It shows just how wildly off the charts global temps are right now. When is so hot that it becomes an imperative to organize around and meaningfully address?

When is it too hot? When the billionaires are negatively affected, that's when.

Climate driven extremes aren’t coming, they’re here…

The sea surface temperature was 21.14°C on March 23, 2026, a record high temperature for the time of year and a +0.73°C anomaly compared to 1982-2010. The sea surface temperature has risen by 0.45°C since the start of 2026. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-...

We can't survive this, if those who are supposed to inform/teach/research are lying.

The US-Israel war on Iran has emitted 5 million tonnes of CO₂ₑ in its first 14 days. The world currently has 0.6 million tonnes of novel and permanent CO₂ removal (CDR) capacity annually.

everything is fine . gif

🎶"The world was on fire, and no one could save me-"🎵

"This is the first time in history that such a warning has been issued in March for the region."

Though it may surprise East Coasters, the story of this winter was not record cold but record heat

In the novel Project Hail Mary, by Andy Weir, humanity comes together to fight a common enemy: the sun is dying. Countries previously at war stop bombing, & each commits their entire selves to save Earth. If only real life were like that. Billions will die and nobody of enough influence cares.

The acceleration is accelerating. And yet...no meaningful or impactful action by the billionaires or "people in charge".

"Warming proceeding faster is not unexpected by climate models, but it is a cause of concern and shows how insufficient the efforts to slow and eventually stop global warming under the Paris Climate Accord have so far been."

“Measured coastal sea level is higher than assumed in most hazard assessments…the measured values suggest that with 1 m of relative sea-level rise… 48–68% more people (increasing estimates to 77–132 million) would fall below sea level.” www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So, any other news yesterday? Anything important?

Here in Western Washington, flowering trees are blooming, some are fully bloomed, and today I saw one that was already shedding its petals. I've seen fully bloomed Rhododendrons. This is 6 weeks early, by my layperson's estimate. 🌎 🔥 #wawx #pnw

"When the last bee falls silent..." is not poetry — it's prophecy. No bees = no pollination = withered crops, empty plates, silent springs. We've prioritized wealth over the web of life. Change course now. The Earth can't afford our greed. 🐝⚠️ #SaveBeesSaveHumanity

Kudos to @petridishes.bsky.social for this perfect headline.

A handful of billionaires could help us. But if they won't help fellow humans, then they sure as hell won't care about penguins.

What's so much fun about this particular meme from Effin' Birds is how it seamlessly flows into my "why the fuck aren't we trying to save the environment" internal rage! 😃

"That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives."

I hope these MF-ers live long enough to realize that they were wrong. I hope they watch their million dollar mansions slide into the sea. I hope their favorite ski chalet never reopens. I hope they reap what they sow.

At this point "we will be sending out hoards of pardoned J6 criminals to smash every single solar panel in the US" wouldn't surprise me.

I will never forgive the people who are actively destroying my daughter's future and the most beautiful planet in the known universe.

Republicans and billionaires: "If we ignore/suppress/lie enough about it, it will just go away. Because we never learned object permanence and have the intellects and personalities of toddlers."

The addled brains of billionaires have destroyed our planet.

Remember folks, it just keeps getting worse until we stop burning fossil fuels. ##ClimateEmergency

This is what happens when a world is built around a system where psychopaths control everything. They don’t care that everything is going to die, in fact they’re probably cheering it on. It’s time for those of us capable of love, empathy & compassion to reclaim this world.

And yet this is nowhere near the top of the news cycle. Because the ultra-wealthy control everything.

Climate change could lead to 123 million additional malaria cases and 532,000 deaths between 2024 and 2050. Extreme weather events are identified as the primary driver. The findings emphasize the need for climate-resilient malaria control strategies and robust emergency response systems.

It is now no longer possible to ignore the fact that, not only are emissions not coming down, but we are accelerating away from actions to bring them down While the world burns, climate breakdown is increasingly being ignored by governments and corporations www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Critical climate/weather/snowpack info for my WA state and PNW peeps. #wawx #PNW

10 is my answer And at this point in unmitigated climate change, humans are an endangered species too.

"Trump and those around him are not doing this because it saves money, but because the science itself offends their worldview. It is a refusal to admit the political enemies they have derided for decades might actually have been right." - @marchudson.bsky.social

No other species on Earth systematically destroys its own habitat for temporary gain. We do—and call it "economic growth." If this is intelligence, we'd be better off acting on instinct. The planet deserves better stewards. Heal her now. ❤️🪴 #EcoJustice

"The fascists want us to stop paying attention to climate. I’m a primarily spite-motivated person, so this one is perhaps my most-repeated mantra... Fuck them and fuck that." ✊

Solidarity with #Minnesota, from Seattle

Global warming = climate change = extreme weather. I hate this person and his minions and enablers with every ounce of my soul. He is part of the reason my daughter will have to FIGHT to have food and clean water when she's my age. #Climate #TheEarthIsScreaming

It was such a beautiful day in the #PNW today (cold but sunny), that I nearly forgot about everything happening, you know, out there *gesturing vaguely*. #wawx #Seattle
