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.
When you see "Our organization has a commitment to diversity and inclusion" in a set of non-profit corporate policies, what is your first thought?

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).
Excess mortality thread with links to our Excess Mortality Tracker and weekly Canadian COVID report: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1642177039514861568.html

My colleagues, the emperor has no clothes.
Nearly 30% excess mortality in Canada's fastest reporting provinces as of Dec 31/22
Dec 25/22: Germany 47%, France 31%, UK 25%
It almost doesn't matter anymore what you think is the cause...please speak, please act.

Pennsylvania released a new website with information for patients seeking abortion care. Notably it reaffirms that "out-of-state patients seeking abortion care in PA can do so without fear of being arrested or detained at the request of another state."
