“We have never seen the Laptev Sea in the Arctic melt this fast so early in the summer.
Uncharted territory with intense heatwaves firing up all round the Northern Hemisphere.
It could be a long summer, again. We have more open water, which can work to enhance ice loss now for the rest of summer.
The month so far has been exceptionally hot for Scandinavia and northern Siberia (second last image).
Another intense heatwave is likely to pummel the Laptev area in the next seven days (last image).”

A trick that Charles Koch uses to kill People (without any consequences):
“A new study found 13 Texas refineries exceeding the EPA’s ‘Action Level’ for benzene emissions, a known carcinogen. For communities of color in the area, the emissions could be impacting the health of residents.”

“The global climate is the connected system of the sun, earth and oceans, wind, rain and snow, forests, deserts and savannas, and everything people do, too.
The most compelling climate change evidence scientists have of climate change is long-term data relating atmospheric CO2 levels and global temperature, sea level, the expanse of ice, the fossil record, and the distribution of species.
