Folks, it's time for an earth systems health check, and I don't like what I see. You know I don't like freaking people out, but it's important to keep our eyes open, and I think there's stuff worth looking at as you think about how you want to spend your time. Particularly as we investigate a viewer question about the North Pacific Gyre. Have you heard of that? I hadn't. Let's take a look.

We haven't taken a good look at the projections for increased days over 105 as we get ready for 2C. Let me show you what I figured out, and you can look for yourself here:

Open the explorer, and from in the explorer, choose the "open map" button towards the bottom of the screen.

We are moving into a time where we should expect less certainty. Dr. Emily talks about AR's response to the changes that are happening now.

A look at the June 2024 earth systems update from the Copernicus Institute.

For the past about 16 months, Antarctica has been getting real freaky.  Might be a bit beyond weird.  

A look at November ‘24 Earth systems information, talk about modeling for near-term AMOC collapse impacts, do a 2C big picture overview for the US and Canada, and talk about how these colliding models are likely to interact.

We are seeing signs the global temperature spike in '25 may have been similar to what we saw in '24.

Dr. Emily looks at both the big picture positive signs and the potentially concerning signs emerging in Earth systems today.

Dr. Emily talks about what it means to want to be alive through this tipping point.

In this video, we're looking at the national overview in both 2C and tipping point conditions- Alaska and Hawaii are included. 

There is strong, peer-reviewed evidence that we are seeing phase-change behavior in deep ocean systems.

This ocean stuff is changing fast along multiple factors.  Weird ocean behavior has been a leading indicator for change in other Earth Systems for years.  A hard one- draws some threads together.
