Signals from a Changing Biosphere

A deduplicated, source-backed signal dashboard for Ireland, Europe and connected global climate drivers. BIOS keeps persistent events visible, but only creates a new briefing when the evidence changes materially.

Evidence boundary: the live value is the NOAA weekly Niño 3.4 index. Global coverage percentages and regional anomaly/duration claims remain withheld until their named monitoring source is verified.

Ocean Heat Escalation

Persistent parent event. Latest NOAA Niño 3.4 reading is retained without creating a duplicate briefing because no new material threshold was crossed.

Truth policy: BIOS cites official and scientific sources, treats weather warnings as operational overlays, and avoids claiming climate attribution unless a source explicitly supports it. Weekly Niño 3.4 data, formal ENSO status, regional marine heatwaves, ocean heat content and ecosystem impacts remain distinct evidence layers.
