climate365:

Each year, four international science institutions compile temperature data from thousands of stations around the world and make independent judgments about whether the year was warmer or cooler than average. “The official records vary slightly because of subtle differences in the way we analyze the data,” said Reto Ruedy, climate scientist at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. “But they also agree extraordinarily well.”
All four records show peaks and valleys in sync with each other. All show rapid warming in the past few decades. All show the last decade has been the warmest on record.

Anacapa Orcas Big Momma

Did you know that orcas have their own unique cultures? Some are transient (often following the migration of their prey), and others are resident (meaning they found a good spot to chill with tons of chow and they are hanging out). Different pods of orcas from different parts of the ocean are likely to have entirely different dialects determining how they communicate with one another. There isn’t an orca lingua franca. In fact, two orcas from different parts of the ocean trying to communicate would be akin to a native greek speaker trying to communicate with a native mandarin speaker. They would have no clue as to what the other had to say, save for physical expression. Cool, huh?
