Terrible Friday news dump.The wealth of expertise. The decades of scientific progress. The emerging and urgent challenges we were focused on tackling. It is all so short-sided and cruel. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/c...

These provisions in the House budget bill would seem to be nails in the coffin of US democracy. What can we do to stop the senate from moving them forward? campaignlegal.org/update/these...

Thank you so much for doing this, it's hard when there's so many things going on to keep up. They're literally dismantling our government.
It's already showing up in prediction accuracy.

Thank you @sabincenter.bsky.social for tracking the Trump-Vance administration's dismantling of federal #ClimateAction. I hope it serves as a resource to support action taken by states that remain committed to leading on climate and clean energy. climate.law.columbia.edu/content/clim...

More than 80 Harvard faculty members have signed on to a pledge to donate 10% of their paycheck to support staff and students, as long as the University resists Trump's unlawful demands. I am so proud of my colleagues. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Crazily it looks as if the Drax subsidy might actually be renewed: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

and regardless of whether the administration threatens to withhold federal funding for work that promotes "Marxist equity" or "Green New Deal social engineering policies" - neither of which exist in the US. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/27/u...

So we’re going to do it as well as we can – regardless of emails from our funders at the Department of Energy, like the one we got yesterday below

At UML's Massachusetts Gateway Cities Climate Resilience Center, we ensure that diverse community leaders drive our research questions and dissemination. Including community leaders' voices makes for more robust, relevant, and actionable climate resilience research.

Gratitude to be part of a community working together for a better future. Happy Thanksgiving!

Did you know that every French parking lot is going to be covered with solar panels? That Indonesia said it will close down its coal plants? That Nest is building a giant 'virtual powerplant' in Texas
There are things to be thankful for, even in Nov 2024

Thanks to GBH for a chance to share my thoughts on the implications of the recent US elections on #ClimateAction in MA. Would love to hear your thoughts. Amidst all the uncertainty, one thing I know is we'll need a lot of collaboration to create the future we want. www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...
