The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

All right, this piece has triggered me so I have to yell a bit (though this is bluesky, so I realize I'm just preaching at the choir):

A four-panel cartoon where someone asks Earth how are you? She responds "Oh I'm gonna be fine. Don't know about you guys tho"

I know it is at best bittersweet, and I'm sorry for that. But I also know you will keep on fighting the good fight, no matter where you are. Earth is damn lucky to have you.

I remain extremely proud of NCA5-- I'm proud of the process, the content, and the hundreds of people who volunteered their time and expertise over many years to make it happen. The NCA is a true reflection of gold standard science. Platinum even.

We’re all there. I particularly enjoyed the reference to Calvinball

A Secret Panel to Question Climate Science Was Unlawful, Judge Rules

Today we won.

A U.S. District Court ruled that the administration violated federal law when it secretly convened a group of climate contrarians to produce a thoroughly debunked report to overturn the Endangerment Finding.

The science still matters. We won't stop.

Between the Old Bay and McRib posts, I'm starting to worry about you.

U.S. Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters | Climate Central Explore U.S. billion-dollar weather and climate disasters since 1980, including total costs, trends, and impacts.

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s.

This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice!

The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.
