Unforced variations: Oct 2025

1 Oct 2025 by group 18 Comments

This month’s open thread. Lots of salient stuff this month so please try and stay focused and constructive!

Unforced Variations: Sep 2025

1 Sep 2025 by group

This month’s open thread. As usual try to remain substantive and avoid insults and personal attacks on other commenters. Any sock-puppetry or abusive comments will just be deleted on sight. Also, please don’t outsource your comments to ChatGPT – cut-and-pastes of long-winded LLM output are tedious and add precisely nothing to the conversation. There are real things happening in climate – please focus on them.

Unforced Variations: Aug 2025

1 Aug 2025 by group

This month’s open thread. Please try and stay focused on substance rather than personalities. There are many real issues that are particularly salient this month, and so maybe we can collectively try not to have the comments descend into tedium.

Note: Moderation will be applied to over-frequent and pointless commenters (you know who you are, and no, we don’t care to argue about it).

Unforced variations: May 2025

1 May 2025 by group

This month’s open thread. Note that the Nenana Ice challenge break up date graph has been updated, and the Yukon river ice break up is imminent (or may have already happened! [Update – it already had]). Please stay focused on climate issues.

Unforced Variations: Apr 2025

1 Apr 2025 by group

This month’s open thread for climate topics. Please try to stay focused on climate instead of generic (and tedious) political sniping.

Unforced Variations: Mar 2025

1 Mar 2025 by group

This month’s open thread on climate topics. Despite everything going on, please avoid generic political arguments – there are many other places on line for that. Impacts on climate science or actions from the layoffs in the US federal government are, however, very much on topic.

Unforced Variations: Jan 2025

1 Jan 2025 by group

This month’s open thread on climate topics. Please remember to be substantive, respectful and vaguely on topic.

Note that we’ll have an update to the various observational datasets after Jan 10th, and hopefully an update to all the model-observation comparisons the week following (depending on other things not getting in the way).

Happy New Year to you all! (Our 20th!).
