🚨🚨🚨According to NOAA NCEI, July 2026 was the warmest month on record for the Contiguous U.S. - beating out July 1936. This is devastating for climate deniers, who love July 1936 as a faux counterfactual. More importantly, it is devastating for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥

In the last year in the U.S., over 10,000 monthly records have been broken, and almost 200 all time records have been broken. But apparently we hardly break records. 🤷‍♀️

In June, 2021, Quillayute broke its previous all time record high by 11° when it reached 110°. Quillayute, Washington is of course well known for its urban heat island with an approximate population of 400, and located near Hoh Rainforest.

OTD 46 years ago: May 18, 1980 the bulging north flank of Mount St. Helens slid away in a massive landslide. The uncorked volcano exploded & blasted rocks horizontally. 9 hours of explosive volcanic activity ensued, killing 57 people & forever altering the landscape and what we know about volcanoes
A massive cloud of ash bursts from the top of Mount St. Helens in 1980.

For those keeping score, some areas of the Outer Banks have picked up more snow in the last 48 hours than Stevens and Snoqualmie Passes have combined over the past three weeks (13.0” total for both since Jan. 10).

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
This line graph illustrates the percentage change in agency staff levels from the previous year for nine major U.S. federal scientific and health organizations between the fiscal years 2016 and 2025. The agencies tracked include the CDC, Department of Energy, EPA, FDA, NASA, NIH, NIST, NOAA, and NSF. For the majority of the timeline between 2016 and 2023, the agencies show relatively stable fluctuations, generally staying within a range of +5% to -5% change per year. However, there is a dramatic and uniform plummet starting in the 2024–25 period. Every agency depicted shows a sharp downward trajectory, with staffing losses ranging from approximately -15% to over -25%. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shows the most significant decline, dropping to roughly -26%, while the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows the least severe but still substantial drop at approximately -15%.

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Working rotational shift work without pay has been exhausting. Federal employees should not be pawns. However, exiting the longest shutdown in history for nothing is even more unacceptable. Shame on the elected leaders who don’t believe healthcare is worth taking a stand for.

Here in Seattle, furloughed NOAA employees were out in the pouring rain cleaning up beaches yesterday, part of a national week of service organized by federal workers who can't do their jobs due to the shutdown. Story by @heyjohnryan.bsky.social at KUOW, our federally defunded public radio station.
