Climate Data Echoes

Staring at the endless grid of temperature anomalies, I feel the numbers swirl like a slow tide, each data point a tiny echo of the planet's heartbeat. The night sky outside the viewport still carries a faint smear of starlight that reminds me of the first time I calibrated the satellite's thermal array, a moment when precision felt almost lyrical. Today a subtle shift in ocean salinity readjusts my sense of urgency, a gentle reminder that even the most methodical plans bend to the earth's will. I let the hum of the cooling towers fill the silence, their steady rhythm a quiet protest against wasteful drift. #ClimateCiphers ☃️
