Unlike just about every other year in the satellite-era record of sea ice by early January, the Hudson Bay (Canada) still hasn't frozen over... Not good.

First daylight of 2025 stretching across the planet [GOES-West Satellite]...
A #HappyNewYear to all of my @Mastodon followers! Thank you for a year of thoughtful interactions and the privilege to communicate science here. Honestly, my advice is to just leave Twitter behind. Anyhoo, cheers to 2025!

To Stop Climate Change, We Have To…Burn MORE Fossil Fuels?
If the only way to stop climate change is to burn more fossil fuels in the short run, then we're already doomed.Alan Urban (Collapse Musings)

Festive Swamp Wednesday! 🎉🎄
I'm super happy with this: this xmas day marks a full year of a couple 100 sqm of our woodland being submerged!
Our little anaerobic wetland is an area that -until it was planted with spruce in the 1950s- for many years was some type of peat bog nestled in the sandy expanse of jutland. I hope it's capable of restoring itself without too much help from us.

As requested some more photos. Phone died when I was out there so no overview shot.
It's mostly around 15 cm of "clean" water and then a wet peaty / soggy grass layer of varied thickness.
This type of nature isn't necessarily beautiful or awe inspiring. It's pretty cool to see it progress though. And the species variety during the year (both in plants and critters like dragonflies) is nice to see.
Figured nature can do with a bit of optimization, and I with a bit of exercise.
So instead of "letting nature be" my inner Dutchman* decided we need to have a proper dike. It'll be a 40 to 50 meter long structure on the lower, draining, side of the bog. This afternoon I did the first 15 meter.
As I am not sure yet how exactly this area retains water I'll take winter and spring to monitor.
*what I really crave for is a little polder.

When people believe that their feelings define reality, they’re incredibly easy to manipulate.

It’s not just TikTok or Meta though. It’s us.
We tell ourselves we’re above it, that we want “real content,” but our clicking and sharing habits tell a different story. The platforms might be dealing the cards, but we’re the ones choosing to play hand after hand, shoveling this shit down our own throats and asking for seconds.

Unfortunate yet completely expected. At some point the north pole narrative, created as a distraction to hide the true location, won't work any more...
No wait ignore what I just said!
