This program is so beneficial for the students, mentors, and weather research as a whole. Hopefully it returns soon but it is unacceptable that this lapse has to occur in the first place.

I was not sure which way to go with #background for #BlueskyArtShow, so I just chose something I thought we be nice for my computer background.

My dad in Leadville told me yesterday that there is barely any snow left on their forested one-acre property. He estimates about 2% of the ground is covered by snow. Typical snow depth this time of year is around 20-25".

This incredible heat wave 🥵 is rewriting the record books for Colorado’s snowpack. 🏔️

We're currently witnessing a snow drought of historic proportions.🤯 With ~2 weeks of record-smashing temps across the Western US, our mountains are losing what little snow they had—fast. 📉

Everything about this week’s record-shattering western heat wave is extreme An astoundingly strong heat wave is not just setting records across the western U.S.—it’s pulverizing them

Really cannot overstate how bonkers the heat wave out West is. Just obliterating records. 🧪

This is now the all-time March record high temperature for Leadville, CO (elev near 10,000ft), and they could break it again tomorrow. 64 degrees would be a nice warm day at the end of May, so seeing it now is crazy. Record highs are being set all over the West. #WesternHeat #HeatWave #ClimateChange

Map of U.S., from coolwx.com, showing locations currently experiencing record-breaking temperatures. There are countless such locations in the Western U.S., with hundreds of red dots (locations breaking daily record highs) and many dozens of pink dots (locations breaking March monthly record highs). The region of record heat extends from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, and from Canada to Mexico.

Well, if yesterday's map was ridiculous, I'm running out of superlatives to characterize today's. Countless locations from Pacific Coast to Great Plains are currently experiencing all-time record March warmth, w/ some locations approaching/exceeding April (or even May) records.

Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

Last time we were stargazing in CO, we saw so many satellites. At first it was cool, then it was distracting. Now there is a proposal to send up a million more. Not sure that is a good idea for many reasons. Public comment period ends very soon. #NightSky #Satellites

Several years ago, I was reminded to always be ready to explain why I am a Christian. I decided to write it down and share it each year as it grows. My reasons range from science to personal experiences. This year I have seen more of the amazing planet (especially mountains) God created for us.

Yeah, wetland restoration is cool and interesting! I wish that were the case for this picture instead of a destructive fire.

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

"Climate hushing"—the quiet trend undermining global climate action | Talking Climate with Katharine Hayhoe Get more from Talking Climate with Katharine Hayhoe on Patreon

The energy transition is happening, faster than many realize. This week, I look at how clean energy is surging, where we can get it wrong, why silence on climate is spreading, and what we can do. Read the full edition for the data, the stories, and practical ways to keep the conversation going:
