The USA federal government starts to exhibits textbook fascist elements. Descents into hell can go fast. That is extremely worrying, and depressing, for the whole planet. The extraordinary courage and dedication of the local governments that are resisting need to be praised.

Tala Guilef, Kabylie 🇩🇿 Back after 35+ years. Happy to see the cedar forest still seemingly thriving. Sadly, many cedar forests across North Africa are under human pressure and accelerating climate change. Hard not to mourn what may be lost. 🌲

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.
Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.
Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.
Unbelievable.
