"The administration's 2026 budget... would close all of NOAA’s weather, climate, and ocean Laboratories."

Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

YALL, THE TITLE!!

Humanity is choosing to fail!

We are doing virtually nothing to try and limit global warming to even 4°C.

Let alone to 1.5°C.

Methane concentrations are following the highest IPCC scenario, now at 1938 ppb.

The constitutional crisis is here.

The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador.

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely.

Absolutely devastating to the planet, those who live on it, and the people who have dedicated their lives to saving it. All, so that a small number of people can live undisturbed in their lies and greed.
BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency.

Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

"We show that climate change has already put ~9% of people (>600 million) outside [the human climate] niche. By end-of-century (2080–2100), current policies leading to around 2.7 °C global warming could leave one-third (22–39%) of people outside the niche."

We reported on this a few days ago, but I want to point out this headline because this is where we are at.

A bill in Arkansas would ban gender affirming HAIRCUTS for transgender youth.

This is a straight up North Korea state sanctioned hairstyle proposed law for youth.
