44% of Americans are very worried about climate change — among the highest levels since 1989 — and 63% believe the US government is not taking enough environmental action, the highest since @Gallup.com started polling the question in 1992.
We all know Trump lies about everything ceaselessly and with impunity, but this is especially galling since it's been so obviously false for decades and because it's so dangerous to the entire planet.

I’m delighted to be playing a role in this conference, as co-chair of the Health Benefits (of fossil fuel phase-out) advisory group. Our advice to the governments is quite simple. First, factor the health harms and health care costs of fossil fuels into your energy policy decisions, because…
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.

No Kings.
Not in the USA.
Not so marvelous news.
~95,000 scientists have left the federal government since the Trump regime took over.
Wow. Maybe there’s some scientists coming, but this looks like the abolition of PCAST and its replacement by a council of tech executives.
Another exciting talk in the iLEAPS Colloquium Series. Come and join us on this Thursday, 26th March to listen to Prof. Doherty from University of Edinburgh.

The pay to pollute strategy.
Rather than letting the free market work, Trump pays a private investor to forego wind power already planned to instead dig up more fossil fuels.
If only senators had a vote.
Or if the world can reduce oil consumption by 20% then the war can end.
No blood for oil.
It’s a tragedy that our country didn’t listen to this veteran hero who documented abuses of our democracy with integrity, when it most mattered.
If the economy isn’t for consumers then who is it for?

It’s been a long harsh winter, but the ice is melting and it’s time for No Kings Spring.
There will be more protests on March 28 than on any previous day in American history. Find your local event and join us in the streets: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings
An infographic titled "president Trump is reshaping the media", reposted from his truth social account.
Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.
Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. He's using the presidency to line his own pockets. This is why we need to make sure that on March 28 — two weeks from today— we march across America in the largest demonstration in the nation’s history. NoKings.org
It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire.
1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
No Kings Day is two weeks away and we’ve already surpassed the total number of events from October’s historic protests. Join us in the streets again on March 28 for the largest protest in American history: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
This should be the biggest weather and climate news on your radar today.

Clearly the real war is with the American press.
“Right now and during the past 50 years, we are burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas. The rate at which we are burning this is increasing very rapidly. This burning of these fuels which were accumulated in the earth over hundreds of millions of years, and which we are burning up in a few generations, is producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide in the air. Based on figures given out by the United Nations, I would estimate that by the year 2010, we will have added something like 70 percent of the present atmospheric carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This is an enormous quantity. It is like 1,700 billion tons. Now, nobody knows what this will do. Lots of people have supposed that it might actually cause a warming up of the atmospheric temperature and it may, in fact, cause a remarkable change in climate. We may actually, for example, find that the Arctic Ocean will become navigable and the coasts become a place where people can live, then the Russian Arctic coastline will be really quite free for shipping, as will our Alaskan coastline, if this possible increase in temperature really happens. . . . Here we are making perhaps the greatest geophysical experiment in history, an experiment which could not be made in the past because we didn’t have an industrial civilization and which will be impossible to make in the future because all the fossil fuels will be gone. All the coal and gas and oil will be used up. In this 100-year period, we are conducting, in effect, this vast experiment, and we ought to adequately document it.”
70 YEARS AGO.
March 8, 1956: Roger Revelle testifies to Congress about "the greatest geophysical experiment in history”: “burning, as you know, quite a bit of coal and oil and natural gas” and “producing tremendous quantities of carbon dioxide” which could “cause a remarkable change in climate.”
Photo of the CDC memorial honoring employees who gave their lives in the service of public health. The memorial features a curved, perforated metal surface with a raised CDC logo in the center. Attached nameplates include ‘Diane Berry Caves,’ ‘George Flowers,’ ‘Roger Dublingon,’ and ‘Officer David Rose.’ In the background, a dark wall displays the inscription: ‘In Honor of Those Employees of CDC Who Gave Their Lives in the Service of the Public’s Health.’
Officer David Rose, 33, a former Marine and DeKalb County officer, has been added to CDC’s memorial plaque, honoring those who gave their lives in service of public health. He died protecting our CDC campus, staff, and contractors during a 2025 act of domestic terrorism fueled by misinformation.
Not much different from Putin's many shifting rationales for invading Ukraine.
My latest for @science.org on the fraught future of NCAR as NSF's deadline nears. It can still go so many ways.
Another alarm bell in this five alarm fire.
Donald Trump is still trying to relitigate the 2020 election six years later.
He wants to scare election officials and election workers ahead of the midterms.
And he’s using the FBI to do it.
The cat is both alive and dead, until we look to see.
