The rest of the world is lapping the U.S. in the EV race » Yale Climate Connections
EVs made up 25% of global car sales in 2025. In the U.S., they only made up 10%.

It takes contributions from hundreds of climate scientists to write the massive and invaluable National Climate Assessments, and Trump wants a handful of shlubs to write the next one 🤦♂️
The next National Climate Assessment will be written by five climate deniers and an AI in a trench coat.
I look forward to the legally required, transparent peer review process required by the US Global Change Research Act and the Information Quality Act. I always thought they would try to do a NCA with Judith Curry, five old men and a LLM.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.
The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

Some missing important context here – the SPEED Act was never going to pass Congress as a standalone bill. It or some of its provisions will probably be included in a comprehensive package, but Congress isn't going to pass piecemeal permitting reform bills, just one comprehensive bill (hopefully).
