Trump suggests renaming New Mexico amid torrent of online memes and taunts

The suggestion came as the president unleashed dozens of social media posts. He lacks authority to rename New Mexico or any other state.

The Trump administration is seeking comment on a proposal to amend (!) NCA5 regarding use of RCP8.5 scenarios: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... Here's the draft proposal: www.noaa.gov/sites/defaul... I am not aware of any previous effort to officially amend a National Climate Assessment.

AI data centers' gas turbines and backup diesel generators are polluting the air in our communities. But instead of protecting us, the Trump administration is using the AI boom as justification to gut pollution controls and the Clean Air Act. Tell the EPA to protect our air ⬇️

AI data centers are trying to avoid accountability

Tell the EPA you oppose its proposed rule that would allow AI data centers’ backup generators to avoid clean air rules and keep communities in the dark.

Many responses focus on loss of civil service stability and benefits. But an enormous incentive to become a fed is the mission; wanting to work on the mission will help speed recovery. We still need legislated protections and recovery will take time. But don't overlook the draw of the mission.

Another outstanding paper from @gruberte.bsky.social, well worth the read. She says clearly what most of us know, but have failed to say explicitly. She doesn't really "yell" at ERL, but coolly explains how we all have ignored the need to approach fossil phase-out as a field in its own right.

Ol' JD needs to read @vermontgmg.bsky.social's excellent new history (2022) of the criminal abuses that get lumped together as Watergate. Everyone else should read it, too. Nixon may well be a lodestar, but that is simply a justification for the current administration's criminality.

It's going to be interesting to see how they butcher not only the next NCA, but also the required review process. They couldn't get their DOE "climate science" report through any meaningful review. They'll have the same problems here, even if they learn from their experience (questionable).

I respect all the folks involved in the propublica story on the “wedges” paper but they are overegging the pudding here. 1) BP funding and contribution was acknowledged in the paper. 2) the key takeaway was the ‘wedges’ concept, not the specifics of any particular wedge.

Probably an unpopular take, but the wedges paper and carbon capture issues are not a simple sell-out to the fossil fuel industry as depicted by ProPublica’s report. It ignores the very real historical context in which the paper was written. 🧵1/14

Author Gareth Davies finds that opposition to SRM research is the most plausible explanation for "concerns about the kind of society that SRM geoengineering may create or allow to continue." To me, this is the clearest explanation of the debate around SRM.

This is a great example of benefits from redefining a process. When we talk about "efficiency" we implicitly assume what the process is. If you assume the process is "heating water and pushing it through coffee at high pressure" the opportunities for efficiency improvements are limited.

"A pending report on climate attribution may be setting the stage for conflict." NO! It's not the report that's setting the stage for conflict. It's those opposed to the facts in the report who are creating the conflict. If they don't like the report, then they can show how it's wrong. 1/2
