Major earthquake offshore Mexico this morning caused motion on the ocean floor offshore Canada's west coast as measured by @oceannetworks.ca realtime sensor network. There is no tsunami risk to the BC coast.

🚨 The data is finally in for the first quarter of the year, and it's not looking good... Global ocean heat content just set another new record high! Data (anomalies) & methods from www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/globa...

Some good news as a result of the insanity pursued by the US in the Mideast. "countries...are speeding up their adoption of solar, batteries, and EVs...to decrease their dependence on imported natural gas and oil..." www.npr.org/2026/07/09/n...

The ocean has buffered us from the full force of climate change for decades. But that service is not limitless. I’ve written a short piece on what the latest ocean indicators are telling us, and what we need to do next. www.linkedin.com/pulse/ocean-...

Montana Supreme Court upholds state judge's landmark ruling in youth climate case - 2024 - landmark climate ruling - state was violating residents' constitutional right to a clean environment by permitting oil, gas and coal projects without regard for global warming .. www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

New ocean temperature record set as fossil fuel keeps dumping zettajoules (look it up — big-ass number!) of excess heat into the ocean every year. “Nothing to see here,” say the polluters. They lie. marine.copernicus.eu/press/press-...

6.0 earthquake near Baja Mexico caused motion in the ocean off Canada's west coast where @oceannetworks.ca real-time sensors detected the shaking -- important data to #knowtheocean

To be clear: in the United States, heat kills more people than cold, and it's not even close. www.weather.gov/hazstat

The Trump administration shuttered Climate . gov last year. Now, former NOAA scientists fired during the DOGE cuts have launched Climate . us - a new home for trusted climate science and public resources. Science persists. ✊ zurl.co/GdVMU

Unfortunately surface ocean warming this year will break records. Chart is from Climate Reanalyzer using NOAA data.

Talk to me some more about climate change being a hoax…

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Irony is dead

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

I had one rule this week: no one plays on Home Court until some old friends and I get some shots up. Who’s got next? 🏀

Breaking News! y-axis alert! Nino 3.4 sea surface temperatures are now more than 3 standard deviations above the 1991-2020 mean, forcing an extension of the y-axis up to 3.5σ. And that line way at the bottom? That's 1988.

HUGE PROGRESS! Keep up the volume, speak up, speak out! I put together a one-stop action page. Call, text, sign, takes five minutes. Link 👇. Do it today.

Nearly 4,000 jobs. 47,000 solar panels a day. Made top-to-bottom on American soil. This is the clean energy promise kept: good jobs, lower bills, and a better future. electrek.co/2026/06/11/g...

Breaking News! Code Yikes! How hot is this El Nino? Not only is the sea-surface temperatures in the Nino 3.4 region on June 13th the hottest on record since 1982, the temperature is a mind-blowing 0.72°C hotter than any previous June 13th.

🚨 Last month was the *2nd* hottest May on record globally. This was estimated at 1.42°C warmer than a pre-industrial (1850-1900) average. Ocean temperatures were already record high over the tropical Pacific region. Summary by @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social at climate.copernicus.eu/surface-air-...

Print version of my article for @chinadaily.bsky.social:

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

FIFA President Infantino gave Mexican President Sheinbaum ticket number 00001 to the World Cup opening match. Sheinbaum gave it to Yolett Cuaquehua, a 21-year-old Indigenous woman from Veracruz. Sheinbaum will watch the game in the Zocalo, the public central square in Mexico City, with the people.

More than 80% of the ocean remains unmapped & unexplored. OceanEye is the new EU initiative aiming to increase ocean observation so that we could better address climate change, sustainable growth & maritime security. Discover EU projects leading the way: link.europa.eu/7Fjhfy #SciComm 🧪

Large-Scale Carbon Removal Will Create Public Health, Economic, and Climate Trade-Offs | Environmental Science & Technology new paper led by #UVA Engineering graduate student Parisa Javadi @uvaenvironment.bsky.social @uvaenvisci.bsky.social @uvaresearch.bsky.social pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

To see how important US science is, consider measurements of changes in ocean heat content. US data are ~53% of the total. Over half! But removing the US data is worse than randomly removing 80% of the total data, because unlike other countries, the US makes measurements everywhere. 🧪🌊

The historian & national treasure @hcrichardson.bsky.social has recently commented on the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) debacle too, while also saying that "the science of oceans & ocean currents is TOTALLY COOL," + vital even if not living on the coast! www.youtube.com/live/kH5oSY7... 🌊 🦑 🧪

Major scientific advances in all disciplines deserve a standing ovation. Bravo.

Denmark has announced plans for an ambitious #renewableenergy project known as the North Sea Energy Island. The project is designed to serve as a central hub for #offshorewind farms and distribute large amounts of clean electricity to surrounding countries. #ActOnClimate #ClimateActionNow

Just maybe we want to continue funding scientific research. . . www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

@oceannetworks supports ocean research in so many ways. www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts...

New report from IRENA confirms that "in prime solar and wind regions, hybrid solutions combined with storage deliver round-the-clock power at lower costs than fossil fuels." Renewables+storage = round-the-clock power, cheaper than fossil fuels, in an ever-widening set of geographies. Pretty cool.

"The cost of a typical utility-scale battery installation has fallen by well over 1/2 since 2022, & by 27% last year...projects combining solar & wind generation with battery storage can now provide 24-hour power at prices that are competitive with gas-fired power plants" www.ft.com/content/b5c5...

China switched on the world’s largest open-sea offshore solar farm in late 2025. 2.3M panels. 2,934 steel platforms. Built offshore to survive force-11 gales & sea ice. Powers ~2.67M people. And yes… they’re farming fish underneath it too. Solar above. Food below. Fossils below both.

In addition to fighting back against GOP gerrymandering, here’s another reason why state-level races so important in 2026: if Dems win trifectas in combo of MI, PA, WI, NV & AZ they can put National Popular Vote Interstate Compact over 270 electoral votes & elect next president with popular vote

Grid-scale batteries are going in an absolutely wild pace. Every whingey objection to renewables you've ever heard is basically solved by batteries. This is happening whether any of the hopeless dipshits running the US want it or not.

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

Money talks. And now it’s on the side of climate action.
