Two line graphs showing Arctic surface temperature anomalies and global mean surface temperature anomalies from 1950 to 2024. The Arctic is warming faster than the global mean, but there is still interannual variability in both time series.

Sea ice was much thinner than average across large parts of the #Arctic Ocean in May 2025. These anomalies were particularly notable in the Kara and Laptev Seas, which likely corresponded to some of the recent early melt.

This graphic is updated monthly on my website: zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-voā€¦

Two polar stereographic maps showing Arctic sea ice thickness and its anomalies in May 2025. Most of the region observed below average sea ice thickness with anomalies ranging from -2 meters to 2 meters. Red shading is shown for thinner than average ice, and blue shading is shown for thicker than average ice.

Ahoy neighbours.

With the world/feeds as they are, I hope you keep fighting.

If you can afford, or NEED a moment of guard down, we've popped up the #radioFreeFedi #comfy channel for June in lead up to our next artists streaming series #RFFF25 in July.

comfy.radiofreefedi.net

A chance to discover and directly communicate with and support rad independent artists to keep creating. Hopefully improving your day with some quality sonic hugs.

Stay safe, comfy and keep lifting up one another.

šŸšØ Carbon dioxide (COā‚‚) levels set a new monthly *record high* in May 2025 - 430.51 ppm (seasonal maximum)

This is the second largest May-May increase in this dataset (3.6 ppm higher than 2024). This is not good... šŸ«£

This week's Rare Earth is just about to start on BBC Radio 4 (12-1pm, Friday 6th), available online afterwards.

We'll be talking about social reactions to weaning our society off fossil fuels - what do the public really want and is "net zero" still a helpful phrase?

ā€œWeā€™re at a new point in human history,ā€ Wagner says. Up until the last decade, ā€œthe major drivers of biodiversity losses around the planet were really land degradation and land loss, habitat loss. But I think now that climate change is by far exceeding that.ā€

You should help save PBS from the Trump administration, see the link below.

Why? I just finished watching a fine #PBS Nova episode I missed last year: "Secrets in Your Data," starring @evacide @eff @cwebber and @pluralistic and other awesome people.

Among the important lessons for the public to see about data privacy and security, showing them the power and use of Mastodon and the Fediverse.

You value this. You're here. No. Other. Broadcaster. Would do something like this hour-long video. Share it with your friends and family who need it, because it's PBS and it's free.

Keep it that way.

It's already June! Here's a look at how temperatures have changed globally over the last four decades during this month... šŸ§Ŗ

Data from @CopernicusECMWF ERA5 (doi.org/10.24381/cds.f17050d7).

Four global maps showing near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of June in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest over the Arctic region and Asia. Anomalies are calculated relative to 1951-1980 from ECMWF ERA5 reanalysis.

ERA5 monthly averaged data on single levels from 1940 to present

ERA5 is the fifth generation ECMWF reanalysis for the global climate and weather for the past 8 decades. Data is available from 1940 onwards. ERA5 replaces the ERA-Interim reanalysis.

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. šŸŒŠšŸŒŠ Below is a video sneak peak.

And if you're anywhere near Greenwich, do bring your family to the excellent (and free) World Ocean Day event on June 7th - there will be loads to see and do.

Some (good) personal news - I am so happy to share that today is my first day at Climate Central (as a Climate Scientist).

Ready to move the science and communication of it forward in this crucial moment. Follow our work on climate services and attribution at climatecentral.org/.

Climate Central

Climate Central researches and reports on the impacts of climate change, including sea level rise and coastal flooding, extreme weather and weather attribution, global warming and local temperature trends, carbon dioxide and greenhouse gas emissions.

Last month observed particularly anomalous warmth across large parts of Siberia (>5Ā°C above the 1981-2010 average).

Data from doi.org/10.24381/cds.f17050d7

Polar stereographic map of a region across the Barents-Kara-Laptev Seas of the Arctic. The map shows temperature anomalies with red being warmer than average and blue being colder than average relative to a 1981-2010 baseline using ERA5 data. Most places are warmer than average during this month of April 2025.

Reflecting on temperatures averaged over the last 3 months - what's it like in your area?

šŸŸ„ warmer than average
šŸŸ¦ colder than average

Dataset (NOAAGlobalTempv6) described in doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-24-0012ā€¦

Global map showing surface air temperature anomalies for the February 2025 to April 2025 period across the entire planet. Most all areas were warmer than average, especially in the Arctic. This data set is from NOAA's NOAAGlobalTempv6.0.0 using anomalies with a 1971-2000 climate baseline. Red is shown for warmer than average temperatures, and blue is shown for colder than average temperatures.
