Early stroll. Percussive, propulsive rain. A whirlpool of leaves. Puddles as bonsai oceans. The wind keeps pulling my cagoule hood off. That hopping blackbird has been stealing oranges.

Over 30 C (86 F) That's the water temperature in the Nino zone of the eastern Pacific Marine life will be suffocating in these temperatures A hotter and hotter ocean is a dead ocean and a dead ocean represents a dead planet And still its drill baby drill and logging millions of acres of forest

Prof. Eliot Jacobson@climatecasino.net

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! It takes 2 weeks to confirm ocean sea surface temperatures and the long wait is finally over. The first day in recorded history with Nino 3.4 SST at or above 30.0°C is now officially on the record. October 7, 2026: 30.000°C. climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_dai...

So shell, and stone, and every drifting weed Keep faith with tides that pull and let us go, And in their patient leaving, they concede The lesson that the shore is slow to show; That miles of water hold no end or start, Only the long return of my heart to your heart. #vss365
