A good Nature article to read by those who follow climate science news and literature -and general public as well. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Bill Gates’s climate comments are a dangerous distraction
People do not have to dismiss or exaggerate the climate threat to justify concerted action.

CA Gov himself reporting news he climbed the 325-meter tower(ATTO) in the middle of the Amazon rainforest! Note the Gov said the 'data is shared with Americans', which is part of FluxNet efforts? @ameriflux.bsky.social @fluxnet.bsky.social @biometlab.bsky.social @fluxnetecn.bsky.social
This 15-story data tower in the heart of the Amazon collects vital climate data that is shared with Americans in California and across the country.

The Trump Administration can ignore reality and worsen the climate crisis, but California will never stop fighting for our future.

California Gov climbed the 325-meter tower in the middle of the Amazon! www.threads.com/@cagovernor/... Me? I only reached 100 meters when I visited the tall tower in June 2023! CA Gov has a promising message to climate scientists! @paulstoy.bsky.social @biometlab.bsky.social @profdesai.bsky.social

Congratulations @riikkarinnan.bsky.social ! Wishing you great success!
I am surprised, deeply honored, and thrilled to share I've been appointed as a Lead Author for the @ipcc.bsky.social Seventh Assessment Report (AR7 WGI)!

I will be contributing to Chapter 4, "Advances in process understanding of Earth system changes" - a topic close to my heart.

Congratulations @anntelnaes.bsky.social from a reader of your work! Keep up the phenomenal work as we need it now more than ever! From a former subscriber of WAPO!
Am in Bergen for the Nordic Media Days conference. Ive been getting emails & seeing posts from readers irritated about the WPost using Pulitzer win for subscription ads so thought I'd share what my Norwegian hosts graciously left in my hotel room.

Just saying.

As a former JGR:Atmospheres Editor I fully support AGU's statement that science must stay independent and inclusive. @agu.org
🔬Science must remain free from political interference.

As Editors-in-Chief of AGU Publications, we reaffirm our commitment to rigorous, independent, and inclusive Earth and space science research. A diverse scientific community strengthens discovery and solutions for society.

Very sad indeed. Where are the serious people to stop these beyond crazy decisions?
Only more insanity. When will it stop? All Americans need to stand up and stop this crap.

@cmacquar.bsky.social I would not say 'we [Canadian scientists]' will get you there'. Having worked in Canada and USA, my experience is that both groups are about the caliber, e.g., Canada has had its share of Nobel Laureates! Funding for science is less in Canada for sure.
This is based on the horse💩 assumption that 🇺🇸 scientists are better than 🇨🇦 scientists. I'm here to tell you they aren't. What they are, and have been for 80 years, is better funded. You want better 🇨🇦 science? Spend more 🇨🇦 $ on 🇨🇦 Scientists. We will get you there.

@katharinehayhoe.com:
Oh no! It is sad to learn the passing of colleagues.
It appears the chosen categories are broad. You and Mike Mann are in the same category: Environmental Sciences. It is still impressive your work has world-wide impacts!
FYI, number 53 passed away last year. A few folks on this list do not have academic/professor positions. And my field of research is climate modeling, specifically high resolution climate projections and regional impact assessments. Climate change communication is what I do on the side!

The scientific community, not only in the USA but worldwide, will lose an iconic environmental observatory! No one, but no one, could possibly benefit from the dismantling of such a unique observatory.
Just learned this from @fuentes

My field sites are at 430 ppm. Closing this site wont make CO2 go away. Action and proper political choices will. Vote next time!

Schumer is definitely not a leader. Now more than ever we need principled leaders. Let’s find some one who can primary him? @aoc.bsky.social ?
📌BREAKING: Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer just announced that he plans to vote to advance a government funding bill, which is a green light for Musk/Trump to continue terrorizing Americans.

📌I am calling for him to step down immediately. He is no damn leader.
March 14, 2025 at 3:59 AM
How come US Senate Minority Leader is ignoring the overwhelming vote by democrats in the House of Representatives? It is time by @aoc.bsky.social to primary Chuck 🙏🏿
A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.

Do not let anyone play games with you.
March 14, 2025 at 3:43 AM
Ineffective leaders need to step down as they no longer represent the interests of most people. Maybe @aoc.bsky.social needs to primary Chuck!
No longer can this be the face of our fight for democracy!
Chuck needs to resign.

Remember those zoom calls everyone did for Kamala and there was like 100k on the call ? We need to do this with the Canadians. Hey @jvl.bsky.social @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social what a great bulwark promo . "Hands across the border"

Dear fellow citizens of the United States: Please let your members of U.S. Congress know that NOAA employees are indispensable to keep us safe by issuing reliable forecasts of events such as tornadoes & hurricanes. As a country, we cannot leave without NOAA professionals. @ametsoc.org @agu.org
The AMS stands in support of federal employees impacted by layoffs across agencies including NOAA. Many are vital members of our community who do invaluable work.

As we work to respond, here are a few AMS resources available to everyone who needs them: bit.ly/4kgQvK5
