The Trump admin just selected matthew wielicki, a fake climate expert, climate impact denier, and serial liar, to lead the national climate assessment. www.politico.com/news/2026/07... He blocked and unblocked me over on twitter 5 times in a row because I kept catching him spreading false claims.

The administration has a new climate change office. It’s headed by a climate critic.
The office that produces the National Climate Assessment has been reconstituted, after the administration gutted it last year.

It is premature to attribute the Nepal disaster to climate change: we cannot yet say how much warming temperatures and melting glaciers contributed to this specific event. But risks of glacier collapse in a warming Himalaya are clearly growing. My latest at The Climate Brink:

What we can and cannot say about climate change and the Nepal disaster
Formal attribution is premature, but the collapse happened on a rapidly warming mountain in a valley losing its ice
