This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

Federal employees need to hear from Democratic members of Congress and from civil society that they will be defended for obeying Congress's orders and the Constitution when the order comes from Trump to break their oaths and violate the law.

Question from Friday's classroom visit about removing CO2 from the atmosphere. I'll ask a variant for the more highly educated crowd here:
What is the volume ratio between, e.g., 1 kg gasoline and the CO2 you get by burning it in the atmosphere at 425 ppm?

Thing was, our mother (not a scientist) raised us with the essentials for being a scientist -- an interest in learning more about the world, and a willingness to update what we think is true based on evidence.

Friday I took part in the Great American Teach In. Amusing to me: the teacher (jr high science) was my sister, the other guests were my other sister (nutrition) and my niece (recent PhD in computational evolution). No, being a scientist or science educator was not a family requirement. 1/2

Recently did my first talk to a non-specialist audience since Covid. I still like doing so. What made this one particularly fun was an engaged audience with lots of questions.
If you're looking, or know someone who is looking, for a scientist to talk weather and/or climate, I'm often available.
