RIME jolted open when

flight control team delivered a shock, shifting a stuck pin by a matter of millimeters, allowing the antenna to unfold. Incredible work,

Here I explain 14 years ago that drought in the Mediterranean results from our fossil CO2 emissions, in a lecture in Malaga (Spain). That was well-established robust science even back then in 2009. Nobody should be surprised by it now.

Spain in megadrought. Out of 55 hottest temperatures ever recorded in #Spain - only ~5 were recorded before 2020. 2024 looks set to be even hotter than 2023 with El Niño on the way. This is the new climate - one that will push civilization to the limit.

It is: - more than 200 years since Fourier first made the analogy that the atmosphere behaves like a greenhouse - more than 150 years since Foote & Tyndall identified the main greenhouse gases - 85 years since Callendar showed the planet was warming & caused by increases in CO₂

Even without the warming of an El Niño The surface of the ocean is now so hot it's broken every record since satellite measurements began This not only fuels more powerful storms but impacts Marine life where native organisms cannot tolerate such extremes

The surface of the ocean is now so hot it's broken every record since satellite measurements began

The upper levels of the ocean have never been this hot. Blame the end of La Niña and the ever-present heating effect of climate change.

Scientists warn of more marine heatwaves, leading to increased risk of extreme weather

Ocean surface temperatures have never been this hot in recorded history. It shouldn’t be happening. Yet the media wont report it. They’ll report football scores and celebrity trials and new film releases more prominently. The entire media is totally broken.
