The UN in New York has voted to upsticks and leave to Geneva. The September meetings are to be held in Geneva. Palestine peacekeeping is one of the first issues.

The 2023 IRD wealth study found that the richest 300 people in NZ pay tax on income of 9.4%, versus 28% for someone earning $80k. Luxon Govt is removing the clauses of the tax law that allowed IRD to collect the study data. They don’t want you to know. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...
Shielding the rich? Govt to axe info-gathering power that shed light on how much tax the rich pay
Axing the power will improve taxpayer privacy but weaken the quality of IRD policy advice.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

New WMO report on near-term climate projections finds that global temperatures are likely to remain at highly elevated levels for the next five years. Barring a large volcanic eruption, it is very unlikely that we see a year as cool as 2022 again. wmo.int/sites/defaul...

This has been a fantastic livestream. It's still going on, so take a look. Daniel Swain @weatherwest.bsky.social is on at 8:30 pm CT and Zeke Hausfather @hausfath.bsky.social is on at 9:15 pm CT.
Lots of focus during this morning's International Panel + other keynotes on how recent cuts are affecting young students/scientists.

Sobering words from Sue Trumbore: "If you really want to be a scientist [and do top science], you might go to another continent to do that"
