Makes sense to settle on a celestial body without an atmosphere if you're also trying to shut down NCAR.

At an @agu.org Town Hall today, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social President Antonio Busalacchi spoke to #AGU25 attendees about what's at stake if NCAR is dismantled. One attendee asked anyone who uses NCAR research to stand up. Almost everyone in the room stood. Read more here: eos.org/research-and...

Shutting down NCAR is a terrible idea, but what a great timing to announce it while everyone's gathered in person at the annual meeting of @agu.org and joins together to stand up against it!

Uten det mangeårige samarbeidet med NCAR hadde Norge ikke klart å bygge sin egen klimamodell, og en nedleggelse er derfor dramatisk for klimaforskning her i landet også. Viktig at NRK belyser denne saken: www.nrk.no/klima/usa-vi...

The Trump administration announced plans to close NCAR, citing its role in climate change research. But three officials told CNN they believe this is really part of the White House's plan to punish CO governor and free Tina Peters. WH did not deny the connection. www.cnn.com/2025/12/17/c...

The Trump Administration's plan to dismantle the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is senseless & dangerous. It would weaken weather forecasting, climate research, & the science that keeps people safe. We urge that this plan be abandoned. Call Congress to #SaveNCAR today. buff.ly/7ka1BQA

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

“NCAR has played a greater role in advancing weather prediction & atmospheric modeling than perhaps any other single entity in the world,” says @weatherwest.bsky.social Dismantling NCAR would be “like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.” KH

It's like on the eve of WWII we decided to stop funding R&D into weapons systems to develop advanced aircraft, ships, and tanks. Climate change is going to kick our butts if we lose NCAR (and NOAA) at a time when climate change is increasing extreme weather events capable of crashing the economy.

The beautiful idea of NCAR, to improve understanding of our planet through a cooperative, shared and open intellectual team effort, is literally what has got me out of bed every morning for nearly two decades. This cannot, CANNOT be allowed to happen. eu.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

It’s reached that time of year again where I gently suggest you hang on to your manuscripts and submit them early in 2026. Otherwise they’re likely to just sit on a virtual to do list for the next 3 weeks sending auto-reminders to editors/reviewers. 🎄

Dette er gøy

Kaoset i budsjettforhandlingene er en dårlig gjentakelse av dramaet på klimatoppmøtet i Belém. Begge ganger ble en exitplan for olje nedstemt, og det er uforståelig: klassekampen.no/utgave/2025-...

"ETH researchers estimate the cost of removing 1 tonne of CO2 from the air in the year 2050 to be between 230 and 540 US dollars. This is twice as high as previous estimates"

Ganske alvorlig at Equinor-sjefen feilinformerer grovt på åpen scene.

The same for journalists. If a politician or business leader spits out 1.5C or net zero, ask them how fast emissions need to drop to reach net zero in 2050, and how fast they are dropping today. Point out the contradiction. Make them explain it.

Tiny but mighty mosses are so often overlooked but they are the reason northern #peatlands store so much carbon and persist as long-term carbon sinks. Peatlands are resilient, but if we don't reduce industrial emissions, they may struggle. Find out more: open.substack.com/pub/peatpedi... #COP30

📢Global Carbon Budget 2025📢 Fossil CO2 emissions continue to rise in 2025 while the terrestrial carbon sink recovers to pre-El Niño strength. The key findings are covered in two reports this year: * ESSDD (preprint): essd.copernicus.org/preprints/es... * Nature: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

This is good reporting on the disaster in Alaska if you're looking for a reliable summary. This is a bigger disaster than I think most are realizing. 1500 people have been displaced by the flooding with an exceptionally complicated response and recovery. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5kz...

The mountains are cloudy today.

my takeaway from climate week nyc is that "climate storytelling" is a little too much "we must reimagine our deepest souls in relationship to mother nature and the moral abyss of the polycrisis into which we must now stare" and not enough "ok but get a heat pump"

At the UN today Trump called climate change the ‘greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.’ Congrats to the clever plotters for enlisting the planet’s glaciers, oceans and forests in their scheme.

It's not your imagination: Wildfire smoke in the U.S. has dramatically worsened since 2019. According to a new study, it's already killing 41,000 people a year - and it's poised to get much worse. new from me @johnmuyskens.bsky.social and @sadbumblebee.buzz www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
