Apologies in advance for not explaining this in any way, but here are the daily standard deviations for Antarctic sea ice extent for every day, 1989-2023, based on the 1991-2020 mean. Each blue line represents the SD's for a full year. Lighter is more recent. 2023 is in red.

A 32 year old climate activist is about to be imprisoned for 456 days for stopping traffic for 25 minutes. In that 25 minutes the Govt handed $553 475 to fossil fuel corporations.

Hope @Stanford won’t be outdone by Princeton. And @Yale: No more contributions from this alum until the University is Fossil Free - portfolio AND grants (dissociation). @YaleClimateComm @FossilFreeYale @YaleCELP @YaleEnvironment @YaleE360 @YaleLawSch nitter.gq/billmckibben/status/15…
Truly blown away that Princeton--in some ways the most conservative of the rich universities--has divested from fossil fuel! $37 billion! A huge victory for @DivestPrinceton (and for the world) paw.princeton.edu/article/tr…

When @CalSTRS fails to meet their investment target, OUR taxpayer dollars make up the difference. NOW is the time to divest. @CalSTRS must take advantage of the short-term spike in oil/gas/coal prices & sell while they can—or risk losing it all on the dying fossil fuel industry.

University endowments are among the largest farmland holders in the world. Across the US “prestigious” universities are acquiring mass acres of land in the Global South, destroying land and displacing Black, Indigenous, and poor communities. bit.ly/SLG_Toolkit #StopLandGrabs
