My former agency is not making tge news in a good way www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Now that I'm free to speak my mind, I've signed this AGU letter. I urge all my non-fed climate scientist friends and colleagues to sign on as well. agu.quorum.us/campaign/152...

Some good news (though it is ridiculous that Congress needed to step in) (also, the Heritage Foundation makes it clear, once again, that they don’t understand how externalities justify government action) www.npr.org/2026/02/03/n...

The 3rd in my Endangerment Series: this time I look at the frustratingly bad and repetitive attacks on the science: thesaraphreport.substack.com/p/a-groundho...

m.xkcd.com/1321/ Feeling this in DC right now

This EPA decided not to count benefits of pollution controls. No quantified accounting for avoided morbidity and mortality. This abandons decades of cost-benefit practice, economics and science. Claims that $ benefits estimates are too uncertain don't hold water theconversation.com/epas-new-way...

The DOE climate report was not only scientifically error-ridden, but also now judicially: www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/c...

SRM is a hot topic these days. I have incomplete thoughts about how SRM, air capture, bioCCS, adaptation, and SLCF mitigation may or may not complement a primary focus on net-zero CO2 emissions. This discussion paper is an interesting take on SRM: egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20...

Not in the top 10 list of worst things this administration has done, but this article resonates with me: www.science.org/content/arti...

I was interviewed for this article in E&E News about EPA's forthcoming and expected repeal of the 2009 GHG endangerment finding. Remain very proud of the work we did for the original GHG finding and the work to uphold it in subsequent years. www.eenews.net/articles/anx...

I just posted the second in my Endangerment substack series: thesaraphreport.substack.com/p/did-epa-ge...

FYI: I recognize that truly horrible things are being done by my government in Minneapolis. Which is a sequel to the horrible things caused by the withdrawal of USAID, vaccine disinformation, January 6th, the dismantling of science, etc. But my bluesky will be mainly focused on climate for now.

Do any of my climate friends know where I can find the CH4 and N2O concentration data for the SRES scenarios in www.ipcc.ch/site/assets/...? I found CO2 and Temp data at www.ipcc-data.org/ancilliary/t... and www.ipcc-data.org/data/ar4_mul... respectively. Thank you.

After 17 years, I left the EPA yesterday. I'm sad to leave my "unicorn job", but this admin won't let me work on climate change. I'll be posting at thesaraphreport.substack.com First up: the Endangerment Finding. I helped write it. I defended it. Now I'm watching them tear it down.

Well, this is depressing: Trump Pulls Out of Global Climate Treaty www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/c...

Our paper on projections of elder mortality in the US due to sunny day flooding was published: www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

This is depressing - by all reasonable evaluation, the CWG report was an embarrassing disaster. But, sadly unsurprisingly, the authors will apparently play central roles in a new NCA process: www.eenews.net/articles/its...
