This was a labour of love, a challenge, a reward to myself, part of my #MentalHealth journey.
I don't think people understand how extremely unusual the huge rise in global surface and ocean temperatures were in 2023 (and now in 2024), how #climate scientists are struggling to understand it, and the growing worry in the science community about what it means.
Here's a new article from one of the world's top climate scientists. Are we in "uncharted territory?"
"We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years."
@petergleick is it heating from underneath? It's an uneducated question, but do we look at ocean floors and deep sea contact with hot lava coming up in crevasses or do we just look at atmosphere and incoming solar heat?
Help...
Found out today Dad has late stage mesothelioma in home hospice care, it happened really fast, and claims he won't let any of us visit him or have a funeral. We have a complicated relationship but there is love there. I want to sit with him for even a short time before goes. I wrote begging him to change his mind. My dilemna is do I do what he wants and stay away, or get on a plane and go to him anyway against his wishes?
@thepoliticalcat my dad has turned into a reeling toddler with wild emotional cycles. Obviously he is terrified. I'm going next week against his will and see what sort support I can offer someone who is telling me to stay away....😢🤕🥺
Senator Vance stated that Ukraine should end the war and give land to Putin.
You can spot all the Putin-owned assets in our government quite easily.
If Russia wins, it will control 27 percent of world grain exports, approaching twice the size of the EU, which in second place collectively exports 16 percent of the world’s grain market. Not a good plan.

I just got a complaint about my #photography posts, which I concluded came from a troll, but perhaps I’m actually coming off in a way that rubs people the wrong way here.
The complaint was that by posting high resolution images and describing in detail the processes used to create them, I’m merely “showing off” in a way that isn’t useful to most people.
I indeed do rather niche photography, using relatively esoteric gear. I think some people are interested in process and enjoy the results.
