"Maintaining healthy populations of just nine key wild species (or groups of species) – including elephants and wolves, but also wildebeest, musk ox and bison, as well as marine fish, whales, sharks and sea otters – can play a vital role in controlling the carbon cycle on land and sea."

Looking back at temperatures over the last 6 months - another game of trying to find any blue patches... 🫣

Temperature anomalies:
🟥 warmer than average
🟦 colder than average

BREAKING:
On November 14, NASA’s Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) experiment aboard the Psyche spacecraft beamed a near-infrared laser encoded with test data from nearly 16 million kilometers away (50 light-seconds) – about 40 times farther than the Moon is from Earth – to the Hale Telescope at Caltech’s Palomar Observatory in San Diego County, California. This is the farthest-ever demonstration of optical communications.

779 trees planted in the Philippines in September, paid for by Mastodon.green tooters.

€1286 in September fees = €257 for trees = 779 mangroves.

Altogether, so far, the instance's members have planted 18,285 new trees on Earth.

The server runs on 100% renewable energy. 20% of the small monthly membership fee goes to certified tree-planting. Danke, tak & thanks to our admin @JohanEmpa for his work and for sharing the figures.

Our oceans have been record warm over the last three months due to human-caused climate change and an (unlucky) combination of other factors (e.g., transition from 3 years of La NiĂąa to El NiĂąo, atmospheric circulation forcing, multi-decadal variability, solar activity)

Very large portions of the #Arctic observed temperatures more than 5°C above the 1981-2010 reference period last month! This was especially prominent in areas of missing sea ice.

Instead of a #FollowFriday I wanted to just say how much I've literally had more happiness in my life after properly getting into @radiofreefedi this week and discovering and enjoying so many amazing artists, so shout out to @deannaistyping @DoctorDeathray @randulo @Sakti and of course the brilliant @rybson plus so many more I either forgot or didn't catch their fedi link in time haha! Thank you to everyone who makes this initiative so wonderful! #RadioFreeFedi

Trends in October #Arctic sea ice thickness over approximately the last four decades...

🟦 - increasing ice thickness
🟥 - thinning ice

Now averaging across the entire #Antarctic last month shows a record high for the month of September...

Due to unusually low sea ice in the #Arctic and #Antarctic, the size of the global sea ice departure is growing to its most anomalous yet this year...
