You’ll probably have seen the shocking North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly plot that EliotJacobson@twitter.com published a few days ago, showing the unprecedented warming 
To show that this isn’t just a regional phenomenon, here’s a plot of the worldwide average daily sea surface temperature for the first half of each year from 1981–2023 
Look at the clear space between 2023 & any previous years 
Good grief

This one is for my Black and brown readers. Fellow white folks, please sit this one out, but feel free to boost for a bigger sample size.

Just because I'm wearing a #Mask doesn't mean I can't have fun with it. #MonroePride #CovidIsNotOver #Pride #LBGTQally

NPR and CBC have suspended the use of their Twitter accounts. Finally.
Give us a boost eh? Pass this on for people to encourage CBC and NPR to get using Mastodon:
Everyone can email ask@cbc.ca

Hi folks,
Sorry for being away for so long. It's been a really rough month.
But, here's a thread from yesterday about #ExcessMortality during #COVID19 in #Canada .
The #Canadian #COVIDForecast will be posted shortly on Twitter (it's already live on our website).
