Will never forget the wave of terror this spread throughout Beirut and throughout Lebanon, and how quickly the maiming of thousands, including many children, turned into a sick joke amongst Americans and Israelis.

And we have a new all-time record warm *absolute* temperature for the oceans, according to ERA5 (which goes back to 1940): August 21st likely marked the warmest Sea Surface Temperatures have been for the entire Holocene period, and possibly even as far back as the last Interglacial 125,000 years ago. Should be major news!
