Red Rocks DJ Set

I really like Tycho. And, having been to Red Rocks before (not for a concert unfortunately) I was very keen to check out this DJ set on SoundCloud. I found it back in October on Kottke.org which is a treasure trove of creative goodies from around the web.

With spring around the corner I love to listen to this piece when I am going on a walk outside.

What to look for

We just saw plenty of green-washing here in Germany prior to the election on 26 September. And, this morning I am running into this here tweet.

This is what we should be looking for in politicians and business leaders alike.

2020 was second hottest year on record

With a mere 0.022 °C behind 2016 temperatures, 2020 has been the 2nd hottest year according to Berkeley Earth.

Temperatures relative to 1850 – 1900 average

The full report has been posted on the Berkeley Earth website today. Especially temperatures in the Arctic have been extraordinarily hot – which has also led to the Northeast Passage having been passable for a record 112 days. As the the October 2020 Temperature Update shows, prior to 1990 most years the Northeast Passage was not passible for even a single day of the year!

Temperature Distribution

Robert Rohde, the author of both reports, is @RARohde on Twitter. I enjoy following his thoughts, stats, and intuitive graphics on Climate Research and Covid-19.

Wasn’t it nice when toilets just minded their own business?
