I look forward to the legally required, transparent peer review process required by the US Global Change Research Act and the Information Quality Act. I always thought they would try to do a NCA with Judith Curry, five old men and a LLM.

Donald Trump is the worst human being in America, but in a way JD Vance is worse. Trump was born a monster and has always been one. Vance DECIDED to become this hateful abomination.

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...

Awesome turnout in support of @ncar-ucar.bsky.social at #AGU25. Take a look at how many people use our products!

Efforts to dissolve the @ncar-ucar.bsky.social, including closing the center’s headquarters in Boulder, will begin immediately, an official told @usatoday.com 🧪 eos.org/research-and...

A Climate ‘Shock’ Is Eroding Some Home Values. New Data Shows How Much. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

These six studies show a central estimate of warming from 2.4C to 2.9C, with large climate system uncertainties due to climate sensitivity and carbon cycle feedbacks; its possible that current policy warming could be as high as 4C if we roll 6s on the proverbial climate dice.

"When Bill Gates Yelled At Me About Climate Change" by @dfenton.bsky.social | Yes, Gates' views on climate have long been misguided: www.theframelab.org/when-bill-ga...

This is insane. 🤦‍♂️ Why do tech giants like Elon Musk and Bill Gates keep on saying such dumb things about climate change? They have access to the best possible experts, who could actually teach them something, if they would only ask and listen…

I guess we’re on to the “just give me all your money” stage of this presidency.

Windows of opportunity arise when forecast models provide strikingly accurate guidance on seasonal timescales. Why do they occur when they do? Do they have recognizable precursors? Does predictability depend on the quantity? eos.org/opinions/sci...

"By most metrics, 2025 has been the worst year for the American scientific enterprise in modern history". The result - we are "essentially ending America’s longstanding role as the world leader in science and innovation,” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/10/s...

The main reason climate policy has failed is that it's opposed by an international coalition of fossil fuel incumbents, authoritarian governments, & oligarch-owned media. That's it. It's the people who killed it who are responsible for killing it! Not the people who supported it! FFS.

You don't fucking say.

NEW! Dept of Education workers say their OOO replies were forcibly changed to blame Democrats for shutdown. When employees changed their responses back to the more neutral language, it changed yet again to the partisan response. @wired.com @leahfeiger.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/govern...

California made history in 2025. 🌞⚡ Solar is now the state’s #1 electricity source, overtaking gas (83.1 vs 81.6 TWh). In under a decade, solar surged from marginal to dominant. Big kudos to California—proof the clean energy future is not capacity, it’s generation. More to come! #EnergyTransition

"Discrediting science and scientists is thus an essential first step for authoritarian regimes to then discredit any other types of learning and truth and destabilize their societies."

this is sooooooo f'ing sweet. every time Sec. Chris Wright lies about the DOE Climate Working Group report, reporters cite our response.

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.

This is Washpost Opinion's takeaway from Trump's speech at the Charlie Kirk funeral. No mention of him saying, "I hate my opponent." No mention of Trump's role in fomenting the January 6 riot. Just unbelievable how bad that editorial board has become. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Its worth noting that when the first modern climate models were published in 1970 it was hardly clear that there was a warming trend; if anything there had been flat or slightly cooling global temperatures for the past three decades:

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

"there is now even stronger evidence that rising greenhouse gas levels can threaten public health and well-being" www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/c...

A new report by the prestigious US National Academy of Sciences concludes that the EPA’s 2009 endangerment finding was accurate, has stood the test of time, and is now reinforced by even stronger evidence:

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive GLOBAL study revealed COVID-19 vaccines utilizing mRNA technology PREVENTED OVER 2.5 MILLION deaths WORLDWIDE between 2020 and 2024. It reveals that vaccinations didn’t JUST protect against illness. They PRESERVED nearly 15 MILLION years of human life.

An article about the scathing peer review (led by @andrewdessler.com, joined by 80+ others) of the DOE report (authored by five climate deniers) used to justify the EPA's proposal to rescind the Endangerment Finding and repeal all greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles.

More than 85 climate scientists filed >400 pages of public comments today pushing back against the findings of the DOE’s Climate Working Group Report. A 🧵

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

Late is the hour in which both William Broad and the New York Times (www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/s...) express concern over the Trump administration's promotion of antiscience: 🧵
