During our Climate Chat, someone asked when we reach +3.0°C with current warming rates. Here I extrapolated the warming rate from 'Global Warming has Accelerated Significantly' by Grant Foster and Stefan @Rahmstorf (2025 preprint) to up to +4°C (extending their table 1):

Seth Rogen was hired by tech billionaires to host their "Breakthrough Prize" award show and he went off script criticizing them for backing Trump and RFK Jr. so of course they cut it from the streaming version of the show hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-n…

Most Americans support Ukraine, 53% of them support sending weapons and military aid to Ukraine. 62% of Americans sympathize with Ukraine, including 58% of Republicans and 76% of Democrats. So much for the "will of the people."

For three years Australia has proudly supported the brave people of Ukraine in their struggle to defend their sovereignty against the brutality of Russian aggression and in support of international law. Australia stands with Ukraine. 🇦🇺🇺🇦

After being ambushed in the White House @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦 stays the course in extended TV interview. foxnews.com/video/63694626…

American Veteran has a word for Trump and Zelensky. Take two mins…

I met with President Zelenskyy before his meeting with Trump and Vance. As always, he expressed his gratitude for America's support for the people of Ukraine.   He has something Trump will never have or understand: courage and principle. Every American should be outraged⬇️

The heroic fight of Ukraine against Russia’s war of agression is about the existence of Ukraine as a nation. We in Finland understand what Ukraine is going through. Ukraine is fighting not only for her independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, but also for European security, freedom and the rules-based world order. Ukraine and its democratically elected leaders deserve all our respect and support. We will stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes. @ZelenskyyUA Ukrainan urhoollisessa puolustustaistelussa on kyse koko kansakunnan selviytymisestä. Suomalaisina me ymmärrämme tämän. Paitsi itsensä puolesta, Ukraina taistelee myös Euroopan turvallisuuden ja sääntöpohjaisen maailmanjärjestyksen puolesta. Ukraina ja sen demokraattisesti valittu johto ansaitsevat kaiken arvostuksemme ja tukemme.

Ett enat Sverige står bakom våra vänner i Ukraina. Från invasionens inledning, under dessa tre krigsår, till idag – och in i framtiden. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

We are Americans. We are the most powerful nation on the planet. What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak. What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted. What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered. We are: The country of the Marshall Plan The nation of The Berlin Airlift The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.” We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it. We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money. We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes. Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness. They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are. They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles. A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader. They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead. Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

The EU wasn’t formed to screw anyone. Quite the opposite. It was formed to maintain peace, to build respect among our nations, to create free and fair trade, and to strengthen our transatlantic friendship. As simple as that. 🇪🇺🇺🇸

Ukraine is Europe! We stand by Ukraine. We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor. Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

There is an aggressor: Russia. There is a victim: Ukraine. We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so. By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others. Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.

Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Ucrania, España está contigo. Ukraine, Spain stands with you. Україно, Іспанія з тобою. 🇺🇦 🇪🇸

The truth is simple. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine defends its freedom—and ours. We stand with Ukraine.

Ukraine, you'll never walk alone.

Latvia stands with Ukraine. 🇱🇻🇺🇦

We stand with Ukraine and on the side of the free world!
