Huge opportunity to try to reach Weather Channel viewers on the importance of supporting the science their reporting depends upon?

On Thursday, the #ICECHIP teams performed an impressive hail sampling effort on a storm to the south of Lubbock, Texas. Hail reports from our teams can always be found here on our website: icechip.niu.edu/reports/

Simply incredible satellite imagery of a dust storm hitting Chicago this evening.

This is hella cool!

This all-out assault is just relentless….

Brewing tornados and wildfires… potential for a real expensive few days, according to @walkerashley.bsky.social. Stay safe, folks.

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake web.archive.org/web/20231206...

Here is another #Bluesky starter pack with scientists who were involved in the @ipcc.bsky.social #AR6 reports (with a likely WGI bias). Please let me know if I missed you! go.bsky.app/Erpq9Sq @valmasdel.bsky.social @edhawkins.org @glenpeters.bsky.social @lisaschipper.bsky.social

My wish for the future: 1) government data sets receive DOIs and 2) data.gov facilitates automatic mirroring of the entire archive.

Repost this if you’re old enough to remember when they tried to convince us that “global warming stopped in 2008” (or whenever).

Incredible photo via Potomac Riverkeeper today (credit: Nathan Hitt) of the Shenandoah River, muddy with polluted runoff from Helene, meeting the Potomac at Harper’s Ferry.

A time series trace is worth a thousand words…

#Helene made landfall ~11pm Thursday night in the Big Bend area of Florida as a Category 4 hurricane and as of 5am Friday is centered over central Georgia. Significant impacts from rain, tornadoes, and strong winds will continue over the next 1-2 days. www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/grap...

“As the prospect of a major hurricane menaces much of Florida, a quick reminder: Under Project 2025, that controversial right-wing blueprint for a GOP-led national government, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration would be dismantled” www.miamiherald.com/opinion/edit...

Such a warm summer in Europe would have been practically impossible in pre-industrial times. Under the SSP2-4.5 scenario, a summer like 2024 will be unusually cold in 2100.

In which YouTube personalities were paid $100,000 per video to generate fake content while I, a real climate scientist, supported the development of my PBS Global Weirding YouTube series on real climate content out of my own pocket resulting in a net $ loss. You can’t make these things up.

Epic. I can’t get enough :) www.nytimes.com/2024/09/11/o...

can you believe we used to make solar energy by letting plants convert sunlight to sugar, waiting a couple hundred million years, digging them up, and setting them on fire
