Read this from Ben Santer (very famous climate scientist for those who don’t know) about what NCAR means and what dismantling it will do.
Threatening NCAR, Trump administration seeks to extinguish a beacon of climate science
The Trump administration’s world view is that the US doesn’t need a climate science brain trust because it doesn’t like what the brains say.

"I think refusing is actually the more hopeful, expansive vision of the future than the one that is telling us that the future is already settled and decided. That's my daring idea. Just say no."
"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future."

The Trump regime wants to dismantle a world leading climate research center. Why? Because the US has become a petrostate where the government has been captured by fossil fuel interests.
They’re calling climate science “green new scam research”, in full denial of reality. 🤯

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

It's no longer fiction. BBC4's Danish drama (Families Like Ours) portrayed the evacuation of Denmark due to climate change. Danish population: 6 milion. Tehran: nearly 10 million.
“What once sounded unthinkable is now being said openly: Tehran is not viable; and evacuation orders are imminent.
As I wrote before, President Masoud Pezeshkian himself said that it might be necessary to relocate Tehranis in large number.” open.substack.com/pub/peterfra...

Seems prudent to me to take the precautionary principle when so much is at stake. We must look at adaptation to such abrupt changes in rainfall and temperatures, our food supply depends on it. Which Nordic nations are doing. And Britain isn't.

1000mm of rain is a very wet year's worth of rain in this part of England. This is coming in one storm.
Latest frame shows a near perfect hurricane with a classic "pinhole" eye. Only 9 Atlantic hurricanes have had stronger peak sustained winds (5 of them being from the past two decades). Great concern for #Jamaica.
Melissa, now with sustained winds of 175 mph (280 km/hr) and capable of gusts to 260+ mph (425+ km/hr) on windward hilltops, 40" (1000 mm) of rain, and a 13 ft (4 m) storm surge, has started the feared turn to the northwest. First NW then north is the forecast. #Jamaica #HurricaneAlert

Of all the regular climate disaster dreads—and there are far too many—the worst for me are when they loom for Haiti or Pakistan. Because my god, those folks have suffered.

Praying for Jamaica and Haiti today.

Hurricane Melissa has just hit a new peak intensity of 145 MPH, sitting just 115 miles SSW of Kingston. The NHC forecasts it intensifying to Cat 5 status. When it hits Jamaica on Tuesday it could cause long-term damage to basic infrastructure.
