H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,
If only there were cheaper alternatives to fossil fuels that promoted energy independence and other clear climate reasons for shifting to clean energy - I guess we'll never know
Vietnam farmers facing impossible fertilizer costs for rice. Factories in Bangladesh can’t churn out fast fashion due to polyester shortages. Cancelled air flights and steep declines in tourism. All due to dependence on fossil fuels and current skyrocketing costs www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/w...
Can we finally agree that burning wood for energy is a terrible idea and won't be carbon neutral, let alone carbon negative, in our lifetimes? BECCS using wood certainly shouldn't qualify as CO₂ removal (CDR).
Asia is reeling from the Iran war in terms of government and consumer responses to reduce fuel use. While this is helping to relieve short-term pain, all of these countries need long-term solutions like 100% renewables and electrificaiton www.iea.org/data-and-sta...
As someone who used to be on the Board of Scientific Counselors providing outside science advice to EPA’s ORD, this is excruciating. No more ORD, no more independent advice, no more scientific discovery that doesn’t fit with political appointees views.
A must read. Blocking climate policy was the instigation for the birth of the Supreme Court shadow docket. Let’s be very clear that ‘vote for the climate candidate’ is hollow advice when 1) our courts don’t understand climate science 2) rightwing justices change procedures to prevent climate action
Would be great if we could get the term #climate-flation into US discourse as well, because there is no doubt that some commodities are rising in price due to climate impacts (eg chocolate), as well as the impacts of war, trade disruptions, and tariffs weadapt.org/knowledge-ba...
Please raise your voice to oppose the dissolution of the SBE directorate at #NSF, and with it, elimination of support for all social science research. Check out the action opportunities at cossa.org/action-cente...
Because giving up is not an option. This country is worth fighting for.
Dear Friends,
Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest.
Deadline is April 17.

SPLASHDOWN!!!
Three cheers for science, engineering, research, curiosity, cooperation.
Look what the fuck we can do when we ask big questions, work together, and fund our scientists.
Congratulations, NASA. Congratulations, humanity!
Check out this new paper - but also let's be clear that we are not doing the things we need to be doing to stop the next pandemic! USAID funded many projects aimed at both reductions in wildlife trade and disease surveillance - and now it is gone 🥺 We need a new governance and funding strategy, stat
Wildlife trade drives animal-to-human pathogen transmission over 40 years
New in @science.org ‼️ In the most comprehensive study to date, we show that wildlife trade is driving animal-to-human zoonotic spillover at a planetary scale, with +1 spillover per host every 10 years. Live animal markets and illegal trade pose even greater risks. 🔓 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

"Where does your food come from? The supermarket or a local farm, you might think, or maybe you even grow your own. But really the answer is fossil fuels – and thanks to the ongoing Iran war, you are going to start noticing that."

A problem we warned about in 5th National Climate Assessment: changes in timing of plants and animals can have major economic and cultural impacts. Flower festivals depend on having flowers - what happens when timing, location and quality changes? 🧪 #climatechange www.science.org/content/arti...
War with Iran is driving much of Southeast Asia to rethink fossil fuel development. In the end Trump may do more to accelerate low-carbon renewables than formal #climatechange policies have www.reuters.com/sustainabili...
Headline doesn’t capture it all - large majority of USFS research stations to close including all regional offices. So short-sighted, as many of the scientists affected will likely resign
Forest Service Will Close Research Stations That Study Wildfire Risk www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/c...
Devastating
Very glad to see reference to Fifth National Climate Assessment in this story about changing phenology - ealier peak bloom is directly linked to #climatechange 🧪abcnews.com/US/dcs-iconic-cherry-blo...
After Claudia Goldin became the first woman to win a solo Nobel in economics, she got hundreds of invitations.
She accepted three.
One was advising WNBA players on a labor deal. She helped players land the biggest % raise in US sports history.

The news this week from Southeast Asia has been all about fuel shortages: universities moving to 3 day week, cancelled internal airflights, fuel rationing. Maybe the Iran War will actually hasten the move away from imported fossil fuels for many countries: www.eco-business.com/news/solar-c...
ICYMI: my letter to Science last week urging continued US engagement with @ipbes.net and @ipcc.bsky.social despite federal withdrawal. Scientists, universities, professional societies, NGOs, subnational actors - all can keep us engaged for the next few years: www.science.org/eprint/JVSSA...
nope, too dug in on their 'contrarian' stance. amazed he didn't try to get in a dig at detection and attribution studies.
appears very unaware of what federal climate scientists actually work on - not the best source for a quote
yup, zero examples of what is 'politicized science' vs 'just monitoring CO2 is OK'
Quote is from this article on @drkatemarvel.bsky.social leaving NASA www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/c...
I'm sorry, but WTF? Throwing aspersions on federal #climate scientists as 'politicized' during Biden admin with zero examples/evidence. Meanwhile this administration is dismantling key climate institutions & preventing scientists from using scientific terms in their work. Who exactly is politicized?
