Two studies show it would keep melting for another 150 years even if the deep water cooled. The regional warming came in at just 0.1°C over two decades and traces back to wind shifts. No evidence that CO2 or policy choices have anything to do with it. So what's actually happening there? Read the full article: wattsupwiththat.com/2026/10/…

No one has ever tried to make that much at once. AI data centers will more than double their power use by 2030, hitting the level of Japan's whole grid. The real limit on superconductors isn't new records. It's turning lab materials into reliable, mass-produced wire that passes years of utility testing. Most discoveries stay as pellets because no one builds the manufacturing know-how early. Now the demand is here, and the supply chain isn't. Read the full article: wattsupwiththat.com/2026/10/…

Still, calm spells drain the reservoirs and diesel takes over. Bigger places keep charging ahead with the same plan anyway. Read the full article: wattsupwiththat.com/2026/10/…

They subtracted model-estimated warming from the real temperatures to create a cooler summer that never happened, then ran both through the models. The gap became the climate death toll.
