récurrence affolante des très fortes chaleurs en juin 2025. #Nîmes Courbessac aura enregistré 12 jours >= 35 °C au cours de ce mois, un nombre absolument sans précédent en juin (8 jours en 2003, 1 en 1976), et dépassant n'importe quel mois de juillet du 20ème siècle à Nîmes (début des mesures 1921)!
TOUT VA BIEN! #canicule
Il est 10h du matin et il fait 34°C à Perpignan, ressenti de 38°C, et 34°C à Montpellier, ressenti de 39°C.
Revenir sur les politiques environnementales est suicidaire.

Do you believe that academics should be free to decide what they research and how they teach, without interference?

Le niveau de la mer monte. Les risques côtiers augmentent. La nécessité de prendre des décisions et des mesures intelligentes, en toute connaissance de cause est grande.

Mais ça y est, la plateforme CoCliCo est en ligne et va pouvoir répondre à ce besoin urgent.

It was an honor for me to serve as one of the authors of the economics chapter alongside a distinguished and professional group of experts.

I cannot overstate how serious and non partisan this group was.

Hi #econsky and conservation friends, if you need a hopeful story, the RCT we completed in eastern DRC might be for you. It is about a viable path to clean (electric) cooking, human development, and the protection of endangered wildlife, including mountain gorillas 🧵🧪 tinyurl.com/4jccmcaw

BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

This, from my colleague
Brent Neiman says it all.

Trump admin used the results from his paper to justify tariff rates. Except they used the completely wrong number.

Staggering 🤯

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

It's been an expensive week of economic chaos.

Stocks are down nearly 5%, or over $2 trillion.

In personal terms, the value of U.S. S&P 500 corporations is down about -$6,000 per American.
