What does climate change smell like?

The smell of rain. Forest air. Wildflowers.

Climate change is quietly erasing them—
and with them, pieces of our memories and culture.

We won’t notice it all at once… until it’s gone.

Stellar group of nominees in the category of "Outstanding Real Story That Is Definitely Not Made Up"

Atmospheric winds dissipated the plume as sunset approached.

March is the most extreme-prone month in USA

March 2012 was the previous most anomalous month with the current baseline

March 1910 was the previous most anomalous month in relative term for each baseline

March 1907 was the Most States records breaker

March 2026 beat' em all

The Nino index (Nino3.4) has just reached neutral, but global SST has matched the highest level for this date, which was achieved during the last El Nino. Super warming is clear. U of Maine Climate Change Institute has a spectacular interactive graphic that they update daily.

A graph titled “the public health success of the measles vaccine” that shows the number of measles cases in the United States plummeting after the vaccine was introduced in 1963

I showed this graph in class yesterday on how measles cases in the United States plummeted dramatically after the vaccine was licensed in 1963. It’s not subtle and I could not resist observing: “This stunning design in measles cases was not thanks to vitamin A. It was not due to beef tallow.”

A massive Saharan dust storm was seen sweeping south across north-west Africa towards the Canary Islands, visible from space. 🛰️

Meteosat-12 tracked the plume between 30-31 March from 36,000km, revealing the extraordinary scale of this large-scale dust transport event.

MARCH 2026 MOST ANOMALOUS MONTH IN US HISTORY
PREVIOUS RECORD WAS MARCH 1910 8.5F above 1881 1910 baseline

That considring EACH OWN previous 30yrs baseline for every month. So GW is already discounted here. March 2026 wins anyway.

This Summer, find your place in the universe.

Climate driven extremes aren’t coming, they’re here…

Wavy undular bore clouds propagate along a front advancing south through Texas.

A top climate scientist just resigned from NASA. Here's why Climate scientist Kate Marvel talked to Scientific American about her decision to leave NASA amid federal government turmoil and funding challenges

As @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explains here, when the US admin ended the NASA climate modeling group's office lease, they were kicked out of their building -- and "have been kind of couch surfing at various NYC universities and libraries" since then. Unbelievable.
