The record of 6.24SD was set on January 9, 2024. Maybe tomorrow? Stay tuned!
The latest data is once again showing the preliminary global sea-surface temperature at a record high.

The latest global preliminary sea-surface temperature for August 23rd blew away the previous record set just yesterday. I had to raise the y-axis to accomodate the new record.
Will I have to extend the y-axis again tomorrow? Stay tuned.
I hope other Jews going to the GOP over their love for Israel understand how insane they look to most of us. Going to the party of Charlottesville and every other actual antisemitic hate crime in this country, the party of actual, literal Nazis, is not going to work! That won't end well! Fools.
The same people who are silent--or worse--defend Netanyahu's genocide and erasing of Christian and Muslim Palestinians from the West Bank say they will support Abdul El-Sayed if he agrees to their conditions. They won't. They are not on our side--and never will be. Ignore them.

Great video from @jamellebouie.net. His analogy comparing T. to the neighbor with a key to your place who is waving a gun in your face threatening to take possession of your home is spot on. We have seen what he did in Venezuela & how he is treating the people of Cuba.
Here's an update on global sea-ice extent, as of July 19, 2026.
Global sea-ice extent is currently 4th lowest on record for the date, about 2.24 million square kilometers below the 1991-2020 mean.
Will a new record low maximum be set later this year? Stay tuned!
Very timely: the National Academies of Sciences has just released a 10-year update on its last report on "attribution science"--the effort to analyze how much climate change has on specific weather events. Timely especially because it has much relevance to the current awful wildfires in Canada. 1/4
Marco Rubio's "ANTIFA as terrorism" summit is about criminalizing dissent.
It will allow the state to target citizens opposed to Washington's fascist agenda.
Canada's decision to send delegates makes us complicit.
We are ANTIFA. We must hold our ground.

First Nation communities in Ontario issued a moratorium on glyphosates because, among other things, they increase risk of forest fires. The glyphosate was sprayed anyway.
Entire Indigenous communities have been destroyed in these fires. No aid was sent.

AI was built off us. It should work for us, not against us. Americans deserve clarity, control, and a say in how this transformative technology will shape our world.
For those who want to see all the data and not just the 1982-2025 mean compared to 2026, the answer is yes, global sea-surface temperatures are currently at a record daily high.
The rise in SSTs represents billions of Hiroshima bombs worth of heat.
