“Hot damn, the world is a wreck & the future is uncertain—[yet] I am overflowing with motivation to work toward a better world, even knowing it won’t be a perfect world.”

The thing about science is that it happens whether you believe it or not. Pretending we have not modified our weather & climate will not make the damage stop. This delusion from the administration will do lasting harm. If you voted for them, you enabled this. 🧪 www.science.org/content/arti...

I spoke with Sarah Cooley, the director of NOAA's Ocean Acidification Program, who was fired under the DOGE layoffs, about all she hoped to accomplish before the wreckage of NOAA

“Billions of people will lose their livelihoods and economic output reduced by up to 34% if the Earth is allowed to warm by 3 degrees Celsius this century, but investing less than 2% of GDP now could eliminate most of those losses, a groundbreaking new report found”

The news has been more than a bit grim of late, so hooray for @carbonbrief.org providing some genuine and really meaningful **good** news: the UK's carbon emissions in 2024 were the lowest since 1872, because demand for fossil fuels just keeps decreasing.

Congress has just released a list of federal DOI offices to be closed under the ongoing massacre of our natural resource agencies -- it's extensive and includes many important NPS, BLM, USGS and USFWS facilities across the country. Truly horrific. democrats-naturalresources.house.gov/imo/media/do...

No one alive will experience a better climate than today. But young people will experience a much more dangerous and chaotic world in the future, and the extent to which that happens will depend on our choices today. Trump doesn't care because he's old and a sociopath.

I think this is my favourite report cover of all time. Any others?

Devastating to all the hard-working folks at NSF and all the incredible, critical science and people doing it 💔

The dismantling of American Science continues. The Organismal Response to Climate Change grant call has been cancelled. The NSF Director is a disgrace

Interesting new article in @Nature showing that up to 91% of environmental impacts can be attributed to 10-20% of consumers. Big potential for positive impacts with behavioral change. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
