We have a new study out (doi.org/10.1177/1071...), which further explores how different forms of visualization can influence the interpretation of hurricane forecasts, especially when a storm diverges from its predicted landfall track.

Wow! More extreme than expected? We need so badly to get a handle on methane and CO2 emissions, and instead we have a president who is pushing for more FF, using federal funds to buy off companies installing offshore wind, and "loosening" fuel economy standards.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

Do you know how much the pay of CEOs at major companies has skyrocketed since 1978? 50%? 100%? 500%? Try 1,316% Meanwhile, the typical workers’ compensation increased only 28%. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Glad you are suing. He's already tried to pay off companies contracted for several offshore wind developments on the East Coast. I know he lost a lawsuit on at least one of them, which is now going ahead. The damage this man is doing to our green energy transition is unfathomable.

At a time when we need more reliable, clean energy, President Trump is trying to pay to have CA’s offshore wind projects to go away—reallocating $111 million taxpayer dollars to help his fossil fuel industry friends. We’re suing. CA will continue to take action to defend our clean energy future.

The solidarity of news organizations in support of CNN, MS NOW & Politico has been encouraging. But how about that same solidarity when Trump abuses a journalist with comments of piggie or ugly or whatever? That means sticking up for your peers & even walking out if this abuser refuses to apologize.
