Bad news for anyone who cares about science informed decisions in the US. The Administration now has a green light to try to indiscriminately fire en masse the civil servants who provide deep expertise and critical services to keep the public safe and healthy. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/u...

There are ways to mitigate and adapt to extreme events, like stopping the burning of fossil fuels and building early warning systems (or not firing people who make forecasts and coordinate with local officials), but prayer is not one of them.
