Rejecting science, Trump reverses conclusion that climate change is harming Americans
Rejecting science, Trump reverses conclusion that climate change is harming Americans
The 2009 endangerment finding affirms that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases pose a threat to human health and welfare. Its repeal marks one of the most significant deregulatory actions in U.S. history.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

NEW: We filed a brief seeking the return of Fulton County, Georgia voters' sensitive information that was recently seized by the FBI.

Surface ocean processes impact structure deep into the ocean interior. In our perspective paper, @maratimes.bsky.social, grad student Katarina Merk, and I discuss using physical perspectives to interpret subsurface biogeochemical distributions and why we as a community should care! 🌊
Physical controls on heterogeneous mesopelagic biogeochemistry

Italy did a nice job hosting the Olympics opening ceremony in four cities. 🔥
I propose the LA Olympics 2028 do the same: SoFi Stadium (Inglewood), Rose Bowl (Pasadena), somewhere in the Valley, and somewhere in Orange County.

After yrs of planning & preparing, things didn't work @ the last minute. I deeply feel for these scientists. Our Antarctic project is smaller scale—but we faced continuous setbacks, from govt, Mother Nature, tech. We get so little time to do our work here; setbacks are heartbreaking #oceanography 🇦🇶🌊

Was reading through some last night and felt physically ill (albeit not surprised) at the amount of Caltech presence.

To study the distribution of phytoplankton🦠 and marine snow❄️, we are sending a holographic camera down on the CTD rosette to a take a 3D image every second. Then we can reconstruct bio volume and export! The most common phytoplankton on this cruise has been Chaetoceros socialis (⬇️) #oceanography 🇦🇶🐧🌊

51S, 94W: we have a new guest on board - a Nazca booby! Usually found near the Galapagos, this guy is far out of his typical range. Aptly, our stowaway is hanging out on the crow’s nest.

2025 goes down as the ~3rd-warmest year on record (based on ERA5).
Like in 2024, every single day this past year was warmer than the average of even the most recent reference period (1991-2020).

Rhode Island has a whopping four counties (beaten only by Delaware with just three). One not-so-long drive from Falmouth and you’re done. 😉
