Rivers are heating up faster than the air − that’s a problem for aquatic life and people
River heat waves are rising faster than the pace of air heat waves. That’s a problem for fish, drinking water quality, and food and energy production.

The US Army Corps of Engineers is doing a test run of an underwater dredging method right now in Kansas. This method hasn't been used on a lake before, so it's unclear whether it will work: www.kcur.org/news/2025-09...

Can we have a moratorium on using any variant of the word "Advance" at the start of an AGU session title? Nearly 1 in 4 Hydrology sessions begin this way. Alphabetical sorting means these sessions appear at the top - maybe the motivation? An ironic result is that they become harder to differentiate.

I've been getting a lot of requests for comments on the DOE report "A critical review of the impact of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the U.S. climate". Here are some initial thoughts. More will come later.
This DOE report is best understood through the lens of a well-known saying: “process is product.” In other words, the final document reflects the process that created it — including, most importantly, who was selected to write it. The authors of this report are widely recognized contrarians who don’t represent the mainstream scientific consensus. If almost any other group of scientists had been chosen, the report would have been dramatically different. The only way to get this report was to pick these authors.
The report they produced should be thought of as a law brief from attorneys defending their client, carbon dioxide. Their goal is not to weigh the evidence fairly but to build the strongest possible case for CO2’s innocence. This is a fundamental departure from the norms of science. 
A lawyer is expected to represent their client zealously and selectively, presenting only the information that strengthens their case and leaving it to the opposing counsel to present the other side. In fact, a lawyer who stood up in court and gave equal weight to both sides of a case would be considered professionally negligent, possibly even disbarred.
In science, the standard is the opposite. Scientists are obligated to engage with the full range of evidence, especially that which might contradict their hypotheses. Ignoring contrary data is not just bad practice, in some cases it can rise to the level of scientific misconduct. 
Scientific credibility depends on a willingness to base conclusions on all of the evidence. When scientists cherry-pick data or misrepresent the balance of evidence, they are violating a core principle of the discipline.
In this report, the authors are firmly in lawyer mode. They sift through data to find the few examples that support their narrative while systematically ignoring the much larger body of evidence that contradicts it. 
In conclusion, this report does not appear to be a fair assessment of the state of climate science.
