2025 is the third hottest year on record, closely behind 2024 and 2023. The trajectory has been clear for decades. #extremeweather #firestorms #climatetippingpoint #climatechange #globalwarming #climateemergency #environment #community #australia

🎶 "We're setting sail, to a place on the map from which no-one has ever returned..."🎵
- Karl Wallinger, World Party, "Ship of Fools" (1986).A steady ocean pattern just failed for the first time ever observed
The failure of the Gulf of Panama’s seasonal upwelling system has left scientists wondering what happens next.
by Doyle Rice, Sept. 14, 2025
"Scientists have spotted something dramatically unusual in the ocean, and it could be a warning sign of things to come.
"Warm air dances with cold air; cold water chases warm water. It's all a part of a predictable, stable dance of currents and climate patterns that naturally happen all across the Earth. Until it doesn't.
"For the first time since records began 40 years ago, the cold, nutrient-rich waters of the Gulf of Panama failed to emerge this year. Scientists aren't sure if it's a fluke or a new normal. Specifically, the Gulf of Panama’s seasonal upwelling system has consistently delivered cool, nutrient-rich waters via northerly trade winds every January-April for at least 40 years. But not this year.
" 'Time will tell if this is a real-life example of a climate tipping point – if the failure of upwelling continues in future years,' said Tim Lenton, of the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom, a tipping point expert who was not involved in the new research. The findings were reported last week in the peer-reviewed journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

Scientists are warning that a crucial tipping point could be reached in 2025 - that would see the start of the collapse of the Atlantic Gulf Stream - if glob...
Scientists warn Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025 -
This is what’s happening in my corner of the world, yet climate-change deniers continue to shrug it off as “weather” 😡

‘Mind-Boggling’ Methane Emissions From Turkmenistan Revealed [remotesensing]

[I do wonder how, say, USA, Middle East, etc fossil fuel-related methane emissions would have looked decades ago if we had had these technologies – and the inclination(s) – to measure them]
“New satellite methods allow to identify 29 super-emitters in Turkmenistan, most of them linked to inactive flaring venting massive amounts of gas…”
