Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.
Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose
The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

Initiated by ETH Zurich’s Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering, the E‑Bike City project explores how cities can repurpose existing road space to prioritise micromobility—bikes, e‑bikes, cargo bikes and scooters—and public transport, all while maintaining essential car access.🧵

I want to share a couple of unusual thoughts I had today, while speaking next to a world famous mayor, artist, and climate scientist, opening a remarkable Paris Exhibition.
Sure, I was personally proud.
But I was also proud that a Canadian was there.
And I was proud that a city planner was there.

What an Exhibition Launch today at Paris City Hall! As I shared with media & guests, It’s been a HUGE honour to be invited by Mayor Hidalgo @annehidalgo.bsky.social to co-curate this unique Exhibition powerfully “connecting the dots” between better city-building and urgent climate action! @paris.fr

The entire exhibition has been designed from a child's point of view, with space for discussion with Académie du Climat, who created some of the works presented. Throughout their journey, younger ones will be guided by Copi, a little character they also find in the activity booklet provided to them.
