NOAA's latest update on state of El Niño, just 3 hours old.
Summary:
1. We are in neutral conditions and will likely remain that way for several months.
2. An El Niño is likely (61% chance) to emerge, but magnitude is still quite uncertain as we have not crossed spring predictability barrier.

This was a tough one to write, and I took a bit of a personal risk sharing my own career-long process of discovery from tentatively swayed by the potential for deep-sea mining to convinced that we are simply not ready.

In his analysis, @drandrewthaler.bsky.social traces a shift in his own thinking—from cautious openness to firm opposition. The deeper he looked, the clearer it became: we cannot move forward with deep-sea mining without risking irreversible harm to a wilderness we barely understand.

The Pokémon universe goes hard on ecology and climate science The Pokémon franchise, including its recent game Pokémon Pokopia, is inspired by real animals and their ecology. It’s no surprise that so many scientists love to try and “catch ’em all”

My latest for @sciam.bsky.social is all about the real biology, ecology, and climate science that is used to create the world of Pokémon, and how scientists use it to teach science in the real world.

This is just about the most fun I’ve ever had interviewing anyone, and I hope you enjoy! 🧪🌎

There aren't a lot of images of the Typhoon Sinlaku damage coming out of Saipan or Tinian yet because people are still hunkered down, with the second night beginning

Congratulatory messages have been coming in for Hungary's new leader, Peter Magyar, including from EU chiefs.

A huge sigh of relief in Brussels, but also for millions of normal, decent people, not least the younger generation in Budapest.
