1.6°C update. Based on the GFS predictions for the next 10 days and the temperatures from July, 2023 onward, I don't think 1.600°C for the 2-year running average is going to happen. Oh, so close! Nevertheless, the rumors of the coming collapse have not been exaggerated ...

Your 'moment of kakistocracy' for today: "Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency will delay the ban on the material and reconsider the rule entirely. Because, hey, when has a little cancer ever hurt anyone?" gizmodo.com/trump-epa-may-…

Sadly, the Climate 8-ball is seeking 8-ball therapy, as 'totally f&%ked' has limited value as a prediction of the future when we are, in fact, totally f&%ked. Ten years of psychotherapy or simply a good waxing. Time will tell.

In the spirit of it being "Show your Stripes" day, here are the daily warming stripes for the Gulf of Karankawa (Mexico), 1982 - present, with respect to the 1982-2011 baseline (the first 30 years of data).

Last night's fun ~ Ramona is a local doomer friend and fabulous violinist. We've played tunes together before, but she's not much for Irish traditional, and I'm clueless about the tunes she plays. Granneta on accordian, Philip on guitar. Enjoy! youtube.com/watch?v=FjFvCP…

Speaking of fiddlers, here's my fiddle-playing AI-doomer friend and former band-mate Dave. Dave is showing off his new hobby of uni-wheeling on steep forest trails -- video taken by a camera on a stick with some pretty good AI that edits out the stick. youtube.com/watch?v=Gw8EVk…

Here's an update on the 365-day running mean for the global surface temperature anomaly. The last 365 days have come in at 1.556°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline. But the average is dropping fast and we may be under 1.5°C by the time the year is out. Stay tuned!

For those who ask profoundly weird questions -- since the year 2000, the 365-day running mean has never been more than 0.137°C below the 2-year running mean. What is the significance of this observation?

Your 'moment of doom' for June 22, 2025 ~ Zoom! Zoom! "...whoever is more “right” about the trend over the last decade, it remains to be seen what the trend will be in the next. My opinion: it will definitely be faster than in decades past." tamino.wordpress.com/2025/06/20/ano…
