The word “unprecedented” gets thrown around a lot these days to describe the ongoing heatwave across the Western U.S., and let’s be honest — it’s absolutely justified. Perhaps the most impressive multi-day event since the 2021 PNW heat dome.

While the headlines focus on global boiling and crisis NASA’s latest satellite data tells a story of life and hope. The NASA PACE data (launched in 2024 and delivering its first full-year terrestrial datasets) gives an even higher resolution of global greening than we’ve ever seen. The Earth is greening at a greater rate. It's a dominant global trend. Since 1900, global photosynthesis has surged by nearly 30%. CO2 isn't just a gas it’s biological fuel. As CO2 levels rise, plants keep their pores (the stomata) partially closed. This means they lose less water while absorbing more carbon. This new water-use efficiency is now being seen as a miracle for some of the world's most arid regions. In the Sahara, NASA's latest imagery shows vegetation pushing back the desert. Arid lands are greener because plants are much more thrifty with water use. Nature is self-correcting, expanding the biosphere in ways no computer model has predicted. This isn't just a visual change either. More leaves mean more 'evapotranspiration', a natural cooling effect that can shave up to 0.25°C off regional temperature. The biosphere is becoming a planetary thermostat. We’ve been told to fear a 1.4°C rise after the end of the Little Ice Age. But we weren't told about this massive expansion of global biomass.

Scientists Keston Green and Willie Soon found that the UN's climate models simply don't work. "IPCC climate models lack predictive validity and cannot guide policy," say the researchers. When tested on real forecasts instead of theory, the CO2-based models failed, often performing worse than just a random guess. Whereas simple models based solely on solar activity worked far better, even decades out. The whole climate crisis depends on these models, not on actual measurements, but many run as much as 5C too hot. The IPCC was never about testing if man-made warming is actually real. It was built to promote the idea that it was real.

When I last did an Uruguay update using numbers until December 2025, they ranked 5th fastest transitioning country. They have since managed to accelerate and currently rank 3rd right after Indonesia and Thailand (both of which aren't updated to February yet). Uruguay is simply insane!

I did a Claude Ai Demo for a senior lawyer in Lagos and I asked her to give me a client request. She said “I need a minister’s consent for a transfer of interest in petroleum prospecting license in Nigeria”. 11 page document was produced in two mins. This would have required months and 2 junior lawyers. If you like don’t Up Skill!
