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

Toughen Up. Open Your Heart. A reflection on love, fear, and what it really means to be strong in a time of cruelty.

I’ve been thinking lately about what it means to stay open-hearted in a world that makes it so hard.

Distracted boyfriend meme Boyfriend: “tech writer on medium” Girlfriend: “exploring a tool’s capabilities” Girl walking by: “declaring it ‘dead’”

What makes a country great in the 21st century is science, and it’s really insane to purposefully destroy its science enterprise.

Yeah. I can’t believe I ever subscribed to NYT (many years ago).

In recent years, they have been one of the worst outlets of “polite” transphobia and absolutely garbage misinformation on the topic. Harmful stuff.

Horrible legislation. Dangerous. Evil.

changes in rainfall intensity (1hr and 24hr) maps for CONUS showing increases in intensity in southern Texas and whole of the North East (slight decreases in the SW). From Kim et al. (2023, doi: 10.1016/j.ejrh.2023.101480) Period is 2000-2021 compared to NOAA Atlas 14.

For a bit of context w.r.t. the Texas floods, the intensity of rainfall in this region has likely already increased in the 21st Century and will likely continue to do so:

Have you ever looked at a weather map online? Or seen a nice visualization of weather forecast model output? If so, NSF Unidata almost certainly made that possible in one way or another.

Modern meteorological education would not be possible without the data, tools, and resources they provide.

Heartbreaking. The work of thousands of lifetimes, smashed to bits in months

Millions of People Depend on the Great Lakes’ Water Supply. Trump Decimated the Lab Protecting It. The Trump administration’s slashing of budgets and staff have Great Lakes scientists concerned that they have lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and...

It’s true - our ability to protect the drinking water supply from the Great Lakes has been severely compromised.

Trump/DOGE randomly fired people who helped keep the drinking water safe. They slowed our funding to a trickle, harming our ability to deploy buoys for water quality.

As summer in the Northern Hemisphere approaches, it is important to keep in mind how temperatures are changing 🌡️

Shifting distribution to the right ➡️ increasing societal risks from extreme heat

The driver? Humans... The burning of fossil fuels

Now would be a really good time for cis allies to start wearing trans pride badges and make it even more impossible for the toilet police to determine who is and isn’t trans

SCAR launches 2025 Fellowship Scheme | SCAR

Introducing the "tree ring plot": a new way to visualize global surface temperatures. Each ring is a year, and each colored cell represents a day in global average temperatures (compared to a 1850-1900 preindustrial baseline).

Remember: NOAA is not its social media accounts. Do not let the takeover of NOAA communications take away your support of the real NOAA and the very real scientists behind it. The administration would want nothing more than for us to stop supporting our science agencies 🧪

Two Adelie penguins, with sunset in the background

Happy #WorldPenguinDay!!

To help celebrate, here is a picture of two Adelie penguins, which I took at the @bas.ac.uk Rothera Research Station a few years ago. I liked the yellow-tinge of sunset in the background.

Enjoy 🐧 !!

NOAA workers report 'intentional chaos' during personnel cuts Some of the former government employees who were fired, rehired and fired again said they're owed pay and their health plans have been frozen.

Some workers at NOAA who were fired in February, rehired in March and then fired for a second time in April, say the agency has missed some salary payments during that period, and failed to have their health insurance plans restored or provide basic paperwork.

Underwater robotic gliders provide new insights into the impact of a melting megaberg - British Antarctic Survey Scientists have collected measurements close to a giant iceberg, giving a window into the impact of meltwater on the surrounding Southern Ocean.

Just submitted my first big NSF proposal! 🥳

(I have mostly submitted proposals in the UK up to this point - UKRI, NERC)

(And yes, it’s a strange moment to have submitted an NSF proposal…trying to focus on the process and not the outcome)

Anyway, I hope we get to do the work🤞

Weather balloon cuts at Omaha NE and Rapid City SD

Balloon launches suspended to once per day at six locations in the middle of the U.S.

NWS just announced a major reduction in upper-air (weather balloon) observations due to staffing shortages.

Omaha and Rapid City losing balloon launches altogether, with launches cut in half at 6 other sites.

Losing this many launches could affect severe weather forecasting and computer models.

The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.
