Why is the global hydrologic cycle accelerating, with increases in both wet & dry extremes like heavy downpours & flash droughts? Blame the increased water vapor-holding (and water vapor-evaporating) capacity of the "expanding atmospheric sponge."

On a warming planet, rising temperatures rapidly increase the air's capacity to "hold" water vapor--by around ~7% per °C (or around ~4% per °F). This leads to the "Expanding Atmospheric Sponge Effect"--whereby the warming atmosphere acts like a progressively larger kitchen sponge, capable of both ab

An exchange on X; Marcia McNutt is president of the National Academy of Sciences. Incredible to me that anyone would construe defending science against attack by the government as "partisan politics." It would be equally worth defending no matter which party was in power.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California.
ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

So video of this 2012 interview is popping up on other sites. Feels super relevant at the moment. Wait for the moment Rubio gets pinned to the wall about his grandfather’s deportation order…

The Senate Budget Reconciliation bill was changed over the weekend to authorize the selling of 258 million acres of your federal land. The first selloff must be finalized within 30 days, then every 60 days the bill would require more.

Sen Padilla made a statement clarifying he wasn’t arrested. Regardless, this treatment of a Senator is wrong & deeply anti-democratic. As he said, if they will do this to him, what will they do to other Americans who want to exercise their 1st Am rights? They want to intimidate you. Don’t let them.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill.
It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights.
