IPCC scenarios are projections, not predictions. "The future has not been written. There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." We get to decide what the world will look like in 2100. gmd.copernicus.org/articles/13/...

NSF has reduced the research budget for all atmospheric, ocean, and earth sciences by ~80%. 80%! A lot of us will not be conducting new research or training new students for the foreseeable future.

SCOOP: At least two multilateral development banks, the Inter-American Development Bank and the Asian Development Bank, are in discussions about scrapping climate finance targets, people familiar with talks said.

House Democrats' new climate policy document has plenty of policies to address climate change. It just doesn't use the word "climate change." Less use of the words "climate crisis" or "Environmental justice" and in are "affordability" and "energy security" heatmap.news/politics/dem...

Climate change is becoming a crisis. So we have a choice to make: 1. Pretend it’s not happening and do nothing. 2. See it’s happening, but spiral into “doomerism” and surrender. 3. See it’s happening and get to work fixing it. The third option is the right one. Join us. Drawdown.org

Dumb question- how do we know the max isn’t coming next week or two? Is it based on the long history of when peaks happen? And how does this compare to the max in southern hemisphere (similar? Or off by a few tenths +/-)?

Former NSF Graduate Research Fellow here: the idea that promising students will succeed without the support of diverse, federally funded, academically independent institutions of higher ed is absurd. Science doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Thriving research universities enable scientific success.

Suburban MD. Air quality in the very unhealthy zone from Canadian wildfires, w/ heat dome of high 36C & feels likes 42C. It is only early 2000s and climate change brings us this. Meanwhile our leaders vote on ending daylight savings, rant about elections they won, & give us arcs & patriot games.

A contractor building Meta's data center flushed its "closed-loop" cooling system straight into Cheyenne's sewer. It carried a bacterium and knocked the city's water-reuse system offline for months. They sell these as sealed systems that barely touch the water. This one poisoned a city's.

It is incredibly confounding. We are seeing signs of climate change that are palpably, searingly obvious to everyone, but everyone in power seems intent on downplaying the link, or making out it is about “woke air conditioner attitudes” or some such nonsense.

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Record daytime high temperatures and heat indices are getting all the attention in this N American heatwave, as in the recent European heatwave. As big a health risk is the high overnight temperatures; inability to cool off overnight is a primary driver of sickness and death during heatwaves.

And saying we know how to build buildings that can withstand the heat is also so much b.s.-the built environment doesn’t turn over fast enough for that to be a viable solution, and definitely not an equitable solution to the problems today and in the near future
