Might be the closest things we get to something resembling a hurricane this season in the Atlantic. (It's a Nor'Easter but with a wonderful spiral-like structure, similar to a tropical system in appearance).

“We didn’t predict this heat.” This heatwave was well predicted by meteorologists a week ahead. With respect, what the Captain likely meant was they didn’t prepare properly for this extreme event. That is a different issue. But don’t put this on meteorologists. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/03/w...

The use the word "war" in the document. I thought it wasn't a "war?" The language reads as a complete victory for Iran and a loss for the US. Absolutely wild.

Where does it say researchers can’t use federal grants to attend any conferences or publish any papers? All I saw was that the proposed rules were against Open Access fees (where are exorbitant honestly and often unnecessary for researchers to share their work).

That's great, and I am excited to see this transition in China and elsewhere. But, make no mistake - China is the largest world importer of oil, and this war is a big deal for them right now.
