Here is a map from @keenanclimate.com's new book, North, which I highly recommend, showing the distribution of flood risk exposure and social vulnerability across the United States. I have highlighted Florida (1/2).

The report highlights the grim state of freshwater ecosystems, degraded marine and terrestrial ecosystems, and the risk of extinction for many species. But it also emphasizes the potential for improvement through conservation, restoration, and renewed connections between people and nature.

Trump has been promoting air pollution denial since at least 2017. It’s taken different forms over the years, but the goal was always the same: to stop regulatory agencies from treating air pollution as a public health problem. The Trump EPA has now reached that endpoint.

Air pollution denial is now EPA policy
Dirty air may kill people, but Trump's EPA won't count the bodies.

I talked to NIH officials, current and former, about what's been happening inside the agency since the Trump administration shut down their grantmaking pipeline in January. Their stories showed just how willing our new leaders are to break the law: www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Great coverage of our recent study on 2024 warming and the 1.5°C limit by @tinymaddie.bsky.social here: www.newscientist.com/article/2467... @bevacquae.bsky.social

Have we already breached the 1.5°C global warming target?
Although the climate goals set by the Paris Agreement are based on the long-term average temperature, one year of high temperatures might be a sign that the 1.5°C threshold has already been reached

Comparing the global mean surface temperature for every average January to October period since the year 1850. The historic record warmth in 2023 and now 2024 is so striking. 🥹 Data provided by NOAAGlobalTemp version 6.0.0 (www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/lan...).
Line graph time series of global mean surface temperature anomalies for each January-October period from 1850 through 2024. There is a long-term increasing trend and large year-to-year variability. The mean surface temperature anomaly averaged from January to October 2024 was 1.28°C globally. Anomalies are computed relative to a 1901-2000 climate baseline. Data from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTemp v6.0.0.
