Stock market hits all-time high as Dow closes above 50,000
The U.S. stock market ended a bumpy week with a bang,
as the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 50,000 for the first time.

The Dow crossed the threshold
— an important psychological barrier
— earlier Friday before retreating
and then surging again to close at 50,115.67.

That was a jump of 2.47 percent, more than 1,200 points for the day.

The rally extended to the S&P 500 and the …

After hitting $115 this night, the oil price is now at $103 per barrel, up from around $65 before the US-Israeli attack on Iran.
Big impact on the world economy, and hopefully on the energy transition too.

Price graph showing relatively stable price before the attack, and then accelerating towards above $100

If you’re wondering how you can help…
If you’re in MSP: talk to your neighbors, find the people who are doing organizing work, and get involved. Find something and show up for it. Info & resources here: monarcamn.org
If you’re elsewhere in the US: talk to your neighbors •now• about what’s happening, and get your support networks set up •before• this comes to where you live — unless of course it already has, in which case see above.
If you’re not in the US, spread the word about what’s happening here. Make the shame of ICE known internationally.

Crude oil sells above $100 a barrel as Iran war impedes production
Oil prices have jumped past $100 a barrel as the Iran war disrupts oil production and shipping in the Middle East. The price for a barrel of Brent crude, was at $107.97 shortly after trading resumed Sunday on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. That's 16.5% higher than the international benchmark's Friday closing price of $92.69. The light crude oil produced in the United States sold for about $106.22 a barrel, or 16.9% more. Crude prices haven’t gotten that high in more than three and a half ye…

Looking through an arched window two minutes after sunrise the sky fades from orange at the horizon to pale blue up above. Horizontal streaks of orange yellow and gray are above the horizon. A dramatic pink and gray cloud is in the middle of the frame and a few wispy pink clouds are far up above. Pointed roofs of Harlem brownstones are silhouetted across the street, and a taller apartment building can be seen in the distance. The window is grimy on the bottom.

Limiting global warming can reduce US wildfire smoke-related deaths by thousands annually
Using future climate scenarios based on wildfire damages in North America, scientists estimate that up to 10,000 or more lives may be saved annually in the United States if society is able to mitigate climate change by keeping the global mean surface temperature (GMST) at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-Industrial age (1850-1900) levels. Currently, the GMST is at 1.3 to 1.4 degrees C but is projected to reach 3 degrees C with the current direction of climate change. The findings are detailed in a…

Now it's 15.1 and 17.0.
The rate of increase was very much nonlinear though: from October 2018 to October 2024 (six years) the tier 1 rate only climbed by 27%.
It went up 10.5% in 2024 and 20.7% in 2025 alone.

View a large rock tower behind another lower mountain peak near a pass with a small chapel (good for appreciating the scale). The mountain nearest to the pass has visible tunnel openings at its base above the talus fields. These are remnants of the frontline from world war I. Massive cumulus clouds are forming in the background, above them clear blue sky. The entire scene is bathed in warm late afternoon light of October. All the grass patches have turned into a rich coffee brown.
