The US Global Change Research Program's website, including all its sub-domains that host the National Climate Assessments and related reports, is now offline. The 1990 Global Change Research Act (see below) mandates its research findings be available to all federal agencies & departments.

We've made an interactive map with data US Treasury collected that shows at the ZIP code level for 2018-2022 what US homeowners paid for insurance, what % of policies weren't renewed, and more. @brookings.edu Hutchins Center. www.brookings.edu/articles/hom...

Homeowners insurance in an era of climate change
The U.S. Treasury data shows homeowners insurance is becoming more costly and harder to procure in light of climate change.

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

The past 2 weeks have been unprecedentedly rough for me, probably one of the worst periods of my life. But today I found out that two brilliant high school students I mentored last summer as a part of the UCSC Science Internship Program have been getting college acceptances!! 🥳🥳

Which US state has the most billion dollar weather and climate disasters? It’s not California and it’s not Florida - it’s Texas. As this article explains, the only state subject to more wildfires than Texas is California. Texas even leads California in acreage burned.

Great points, especially 3. I got into C++ in high school and learning R or Python after undergrad was so much easier than learning Stata.
