This is serious. Putting Fossil Fuels Above the Law. Bill by Ted Cruz, and some really awful Republicans. Give Congress an earful. 202-224-3121

Twisted justice by Ted Cruz. Enough!

In my latest installment in an ongoing series on climate change and hurricanes, I look at how strong a hurricane can get. In the Persian Gulf, where SSTs get to 95°F, a 300 mph hurricane is possible.

It’s Earth Day 🌎
If we are being realistic and honest - which really is the least we can do - it’s very likely warmer today than anytime in the last 120,000 years. And, the global warming rate the past century - and especially the last 30 years - is “exponentially”… 1/

"The Climate Scientist Who Fought Back" | My interview with the legendary @dfenton.bsky.social for the new #FentonForecast podcast: www.fentonforecast.com/episodes/epi...
Map of the contiguous United States showing the spring bloom index anomaly as of April 19, 2026 from the USA National Phenology Network. Many areas are earlier than normal.
Aside from Florida, nearly the entire contiguous U.S. has experienced earlier than average first plant blooms in 2026. Earlier springs can cause longer allergy seasons, accelerate wildfire risk, increase pests/mosquitoes, and lead to less reliable snow-fed water.

🔥 High Fire Danger today and tomorrow in North & Central Florida. So far it’s the worst fire season in at least a decade, with 2.5X the average acreage burned and 1800 individual fires. With humidity as low as 25% and winds gusts 💨 to 30 mph, any sparks will ignite and spread fire rapidly… 1/
A new language for climate change was voted in: “kokushobi” heat, >40°C (104°F), from the Japanese word koku, meaning harsh or cruel. 2nd choice for the new heat term was ‘super-extremely hot day’ or ‘cho-mosho-bi’, while ‘sauna day’, ‘stay-at-home day’ and ‘boiling day’ were also among the choices.

Historic flooding in MI and WI: 5 rivers are at record flood or predicted to be (blue dots); 6 other rivers already set record highs in MI. Mullet Lake in MI is 2' above its record high; the dam at its E end above Cheboygan is just 5" from overtopping; 3 other MI dams are also close to overtopping.
Pretty extraordinary that the U.S. is experiencing its worst March drought on record, worse even than the Dust Bowl years of the 1930s. Drought is the most dangerous threat of climate change.
Crucial to note: these drought indices key on soil moisture—which is being hammered not only by lack of rain/snow but also by hot temps (on our warming planet), as @weatherprof.bsky.social points out.
There's hope for widespread moisture if El Niño kicks in later this year as expected. Temps? :-O
Just how bad is this spring’s drought?? The worst in US History, going all the way back to the 1890s, even worse than Dust Bowl springs. And #Florida is among the worst in the nation… 1/
