Ah, must be summer. Lots of lizards in the backyard missing their tails, which is typical when the striped racer snakes have emerged. #snek #summer #climatediary

Peaches at least 2 months too soon. The tree looks horrible. Old leaves, new leaves, flowers, fruit, all at the same time. #zone10b #gardening #ClimateDiary

It is mid-winter and IT IS COLDER HERE IN KOREA THAN IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA!!!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen this before.
Another thing I’ve never seen before until today is the sight of my neighbor’s honeybees flying around our yard in January because the sunshine is so warm, it’s making them think it’s March.

If only people had known that having 10% more moisture in the air would be a problem.
Oh well, let’s keep shooting for 20% for the sake of GDP (that will also get washed away)

…As a postscript to the above, I’ll just add that global heating of +1.5°C is arriving about 15 years ahead of the timing envisaged in 2015, and that AMOC collapse is maybe 100 years ahead of earlier analysis.
Perhaps we might like to wake *the fuck* up about how economics orthodoxy is nudging us more insistently off the table https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/113418176951770714

The UK government has published a 12 page plus cover summary PDF of a much larger report. It is entitled
‘Global biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse and national security’
Its lead page lists 7 key judgments, each with an Analytical Confidence Rating of high, moderate or low.
3 of the 7 are high.
The text of the judgments follows

@Geri Apple’s weather app show a high of 38 for New South Wales, that’s quite a disparity. And only 32 in Victoria, AUS. High, but not the numbers you mentioned for yesterday. Do you live there, or can you share your information source as I would appreciate knowing if I can trust my source or not, thanks
