As US doubles down on fossil fuels, communities will have to adapt to the consequences − yet climate adaptation funding is on the chopping block
The administration wants to cut funding for programs that help communities adapt to wildfire risk, sea-level rise and invasive species, among many other risks.

Yay, science!
Even when the political winds shift, science must keep moving forward.
That’s why @AGU and @ametsoc are stepping up with a first-of-its-kind special collection on climate change in the U.S.—across 29+ peer-reviewed journals. 🌍📚

Pope Francis called on the world and 1.4 billion Catholics to confront climate change. He brought attention to the issue but it's not clear he changed many minds.

Thinking about the bombing 30 years ago. I was here for it.
The perpetrators tried to destroy democracy by instigating an event that they thought would cause insurrection. Back then, we fought against it. What will we do today as democracy is challenged?

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

The closure of Mauna Loa will cause irreversible harm to the scientific record and our understanding of our impact on the atmosphere. But the symbolism feels even more massive than that.
The people who produce this Mauna Loa atmospheric CO₂ record have a lab in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, about 50 miles (80 km) from the observatory. By closing the lab, it'll be really difficult to maintain the CO₂ observations.

Folks need to be on extraordinarily high alert across far SE LA and most of MS from midday thru Sat PM. This is as bad as it gets.l tornado-watch-wise.
Probability of 2 or more tornadoes: >95%
Probability of 1 or more EF2–EF5 tornadoes: >95%
This is the third NOAA/SPC PDS tornado watch in history with both of these probabilities maxed out. Prolific and destructive tornado outbreak is imminent.

Check out this perspective of the anomalous warmth in the #Arctic from last month, which really highlights its large amplitude. Temperature variability is smaller in summer due to thermodynamic processes related to sea ice melt.

If you lost your job in the federal purge, were told to return to the office from remote work and then the office lease was canceled, or other direct effects, let your Congress people know. Or at least tell a university science buddy of yours so they can report it.

In DC reminding members of Congress why climate adaptation work is so important. But most staffers, both Rs and Ds are asking our various scientists: What are the impacts of the last few weeks? They’re not hearing anything from the WH and are finding out by constituents telling them.
