the good that you do persists in this world

A quote from GCC Executive Director Kate Zyla overlays a picture of a congested, multi-lane highways. The quote reads: "Rescinding the Endangerment Finding would contradict decades of legal precedent and sound science. Floods, fires, extreme heat, and rising sea levels exacerbated by climate change affect the lives of all Americans and their communities, every day, in every corner of the country. Vehicles are the largest U.S. source of dangerous greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, and taking away EPA’s ability to regulate those emissions makes it unnecessarily harder to solve this existential problem.”

This afternoon, the Trump Administration announced a major rollback of the U.S. EPA's efforts to curb air pollution from vehicles that causes climate change. Read GCC's statement on the proposed repeal of the Endangerment Finding: www.georgetownclimate.org/articles/sta...

That meme of two buff dudes grabbing hands. One bicep labeled “Me in 2015” the other labeled “Me in 2025” and they meet in the middle at “Crashing ArcGIS”

The more things change the more they stay the same.

Adolescence on Netflix was incredible and devastating. Unbelievable cinematography, acting, and storytelling. (Short series, not a movie, but too good not to recommend.)

I'm at a meeting at my public library. It is a community garden orientation, and plots are very cheap. Volunteer hours are used for maintenance and growing food for soup kitchens and the community. The org is supported by a local non profit.

This is one of many things public libraries do. Fund them

Thank you to the organizers of @standupforscience.bsky.social for taking this brave leap! You provided a space for people across the world to share in our collective support of scientific research and science-backed policy, and the improvements in quality of life it’s given us.

Two signs held up against the blue sky. One says “Science saves lives” and the other reads “Trans people have always existed”

We see you!

Friday, March 7! Once again, it's time to rally for science! Science keeps us healthy, well, and safe and is at the cornerstone of good public policy. #sciencenotsilence #standupforscience2025

Mayors Across US Urge Congress Not to Repeal Clean Energy Tax Credits - Inside Climate News The Inflation Reduction Act incentives for developing clean energy have created thousands of jobs in local communities across the country. The Trump administration froze further spending on them.

A letter signed by mayors and local leaders across 39 states is calling on Congress to protect all clean energy tax credits made available to state and local governments, which had been responsible for creating thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in investments before Trump froze the funds.

You can say, “gravity isn’t real,” but if you step off the cliff, you’re still going down.

And if you convince other people it’s not real, you are responsible for what happens if they make decisions based on the information you withheld.

As climate change increases the risk of dry conditions and fire weather, fires across western NAm are bigger, more dangerous, and burning greater area.

It’s the difference between accidentally dropping a match into a pile of green, wet wood versus dropping it into a stack of bone dry kindling.
