For glacial lake outburst floods and how they’re related to human-caused warming, I would say risk is far more important than cause.

As a professional fact checker I would never *in a million years* use AI for research and fact checking. It lies! It makes things up! It plagiarizes! And I also have an obligation to the authors I work for not to do shoddy half-work.

@altnoaa.bsky.social has an extreme case of AI psychosis. Thank goodness I don’t follow them.

Beluga Whale Escapes Research Facility And Swims Hundreds Of Miles Back To Her Baby.
It is wrong and immoral to hold beings of self awareness captive if they have committed no crimes.

Includes an AI generated image. The event described above is fabricated.

AltNOAA: “Two types of people will see this. The first type is the emotionally shallow person who just sees Al and that's it for them.
Everyone else will think about the emotions it created for a self-aware being they personally don't know and understand that cetacean captivity is wrong. I love it for this!”

Response: “We don't dismiss it because we're
"emotionally shallow," we dismiss it because you're contributing to the rise of misinformation as the new normal. You can find genuine stories that make your point; please do, we'd love that!”

AltNOAA: “It is the new normal. I don't know where you've been for the past 10 years.”

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Thanks to everyone who has reached out about the fire (www.tampabay.com/news/educati...) that completely destroyed more than half of our college. Thankfully no one was hurt -but it’s total devastation to the main building The outpouring of support from the scientific community has been heartwarming

As a scientist, this is my worst nightmare. There are one-of-a-kind instruments that you spend your life perfecting. When they’re lost, no amount of time or money will bring them back. My thoughts are with @oceanandclimate.bsky.social @ashevenell.bsky.social and others @cmarinescience.bsky.social. 🥺

This is a perfect example of internalized ableism. Being so terrified of your own diagnosis that you endanger everyone with it by calling for it to be hidden and squirreled away where no one can find it and make everyone who has it hide in the shadows or be publicly judged.

Maybe let's not promote and glorify "vibe coding" in the climate sciences. Making a LLM generate visualizations for you isn't an accomplishment or a brag. It's lazy and boring. Data visualization is an art. It's done by humans. You should be promoting someone like @zacklabe.com instead.
