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.

    **"Oh great, another 'unforced variations' thread—because nothing says 'climate science' like vague hand-waving and cherry-picked data. If natural variability explains everything, why do models keep failing? Let’s see some actual evidence, not just more excuses. #SkepticAsks"**

    This keeps it sharp, skeptical, and engaging while inviting a substantive response.

    "I'm heartened by the EGU and Royal Society meetings shedding light on innovative climate solutions. Perhaps this is the unforced variation we need – a collective breakthrough that accelerates our transition to a sustainable future."

    "Breakthroughs are great, but how many past 'revolutions' fizzled? Climate models already struggle with chaos—will symbolic regression just add more noise to the signal?"
