"You could think of it as about 187,000 rugby fields," Potaka said.
We are at it again with the weird measurements. Can anyone actually imagine this any more clearly than our more conventional hectares or acres? In fact imagining 187,000 rugby fields is well into my nightmare territory. #NZPol #measurement

“[Here is a] climatology near-surface currents and temperatures for the world, at monthly and one-quarter degree resolution, derived from satellite-tracked surface drifting buoy observations.
Animations of these currents are available [also at aoml.noaa.gov/phod/gdp/animati].
Maps of these currents in various regions can be seen on the Ocean Surface Currents web site [oceancurrents.rsmas.miami.edu/

"Higher resolution measurements require greater energy transfer, which causes greater perturbation of the dynamics, and hence reduces the predictability of future behavior. In the limit of an infinitely precise measurement of the state, all information about the next state transition is lost: all transitions become equally probable."
--Chris Fields, in a very cool 1989 report titled Consequences of nonclassical measurement for the algorithmic description of continuous dynamical systems

" "Today’s assessment from the World Meteorological Organization is clear:
Global heating is a cold, hard fact,"
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a statement.
"There's still time to avoid the worst of climate catastrophe. But leaders must act
– now."

The planet's average temperature in 2024 was 1.6 degrees Celsius higher than in the 1850-1900 pre-industrial period, C3S said.
The last 10 years have all been in the top 10 hottest years on record, according to the World Meteorological Organization. "

MastodonClimate News Now (@ClimateNewsNow@federated.press)2024 was the hottest year on record, scientists say. The WMO said climate change was pushing the planet's temperature to levels never before experienced by modern humans. #ClimateChange https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/2024-was-first-year-above-15c-global-warming-scientists-say-2025-01-10/
