I have work to do but I'm distracted by watching US scientific progress & leadership being irreversibly undermined because a few unelected malcontents are penalizing researchers for following legal requirements set out by congressional orders to augment basic research with benefits to society.

A constant reminder that even if CO₂ emissions decreased annually as much as they did during the pandemic lockdown from now to 2030, we still wouldn't meet our emission target to keep global warming below 1.5°C.

Adopted a new cat today :) I've known her for a year; she lived as an outdoor cat on the farm behind my house. Yes yes, I will pay the cat tax once I'm on mobile.

Hi, BlueSky!

I keep procrastinating adding my domain to this account, to get rid of the default username format. And it actually makes me want to use it less. I’ll get it done, one dayyyyy

physics of climate impacts 101:
- Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves)
- Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall)
- Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk)
- Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms)
- Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)

hello! We can link our Bluesky handles to domains. Sooooooo that is on my first to-do. Yuck to the handle format. But thanks for the safe space, Bluesky!
