Not to be negative but this is apocalyptic
Ahead of midterms, climate policy has become a wedge issue splitting Democrats. After last week's electoral victories, some Democrats will only talk about expanding clean energy through lens of affordability. Others believe talking about climate change will win voters. www.eenews.net/articles/ret...
Retreat or recast? Democrats debate future of climate politics.
Democratic election wins last week reignited arguments on how — or if — candidates should discuss climate change on the campaign trail.

Any cuts to public education are devastating, but the loss of the department where I got my start really hits home.
Geoscience expertise empowers communities to effectively use resources and mitigate hazards. Nebraskans need and deserve that expertise, but it's being cruelly taken away.

They are really planning to go through with these cuts at Nebraska, despite recommendations not to. Unbelievable.
If you want to hire highly qualified, very successful earth and atmospheric sciences faculty in teaching and research, quite a few are probably looking for jobs for next year.

The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design.
The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists.
