Looking forward to AGU! I'll be presenting on NASA Health and Air Quality Applied Sciences Team on Tuesday, December 16th at 11:10 am in GH22A: Data to Action: Creating the Tools to Unlock GeoHealth Science session that starts at 10:30 am in 297 NOLA CC #AGU25

HUGE: In a letter to Congress, more than 140 solar companies detail how the Trump permitting freeze on renewables is worse than imagined and hitting copious projects on private lands They’re asking Congress to intervene and say “bipartisan permitting reform” won’t help without forcing Trump’s hand

Scientists: have you been the target of an online harassment campaign, doxxing, or weaponized FOIA requests? I'd like to talk to you about steps you had to take to protect your digital security for an upcoming Nature story. (You can be anonymous if necessary.) RTs appreciated.

More than 5 million people face an increased cancer risk because they live near a type of industrial plant that would have been subject to rules put forward by the Biden. The Trump administration is rolling them back By the inimitable @lisalsong.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

this is a very impressive analysis of some of the statistical "oddities" in Pielke Jr's analysis that normalized climate impacts are declining. Everyone should read this. economicsfromthetopdown.com/2025/10/26/r...

The grant to protect the village in Alaska that lost all it's homes this week, with houses literally floating away in the flood, was only $20 million 🫠 bsky.app/profile/napa...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

“In one of the hardest hit villages, Kipnuk, an initial assessment showed that 121 or homes — or 90% of the total — have been destroyed”

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

The Trump administration wants to repeal the 2009 "Endangerment Finding", arguing that greenhouse gases don't actually harm health and well-being. A group of 100+ experts reviewed the literature and disagrees. We brought the receipts (400+ references). Full comment at zenodo.org/records/1728...

Proud to be part of the Expert Working Group on Climate Change and Health that just put together a report summarizing the evidence of health harms of climate change to date. Report is here: zenodo.org/records/1728... 🛟 #climatesky

Join us in just 2 weeks for our #ScienceOnThe7th Livestream! We will meet with guest Tracey Holloway, @uwmadison.bsky.social to discuss satellites and air quality. 📅 Oct 7 ⏰ 9 AM EDT | 1 PM GMT 🔗 tinyurl.com/ywmwwnu2

🧪 New National Academies report concludes that rising greenhouse gas levels imperil public health and the 2009 endangerment finding “has stood the test of time.” Game on. Gift link: Top Scientists Find Growing Evidence That Greenhouse Gases Are, in Fact, a Danger www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/c...

Deadline extended to 18 Sept! The Trump administration has proposed overturning the EPA’s endangerment finding, the science-based determination that greenhouse gases threaten public health. Join 650+ of your peers who have signed AGU’s letter to defend climate science. ➡️ buff.ly/lLPmLZe

The assault on wind is very similar to the assault on vaccines - ginning up evidence to support a desired policy that harms public health. Offshore wind is good for climate, air quality, and overall grid reliability. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/c...

Today is #CleanAirDay. Clean air can prevent 8.1 million deaths each year, boost economies, slow global warming, and unlock new opportunities. Solutions exist. Join the race: www.cleanairblueskies.org

In January I reported that anti-wind orgs floated a draft policy roadmap to the Trump transition team to completely destroy the U.S. wind energy industry Much of the roadmap has now already come to pass, down to RFK Jr commissioning a study on whether wind turbines make people sick

As national medical, scientific, public health and patient organizations, we call for the resignation of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to ensure the health of the American people. Read our statement: asm.org/press-releas...

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

A federal-state partnership that monitors for foodborne illnesses quietly scaled back its operations nearly two months ago. As of July 1, the critical surveillance program is monitoring for only two pathogens instead of the usual eight, a spokesperson for the CDC says.

Hello Bluesky! We are excited to join this community! We post satellite observations of global aerosol and air quality events, including wildfires, dust storms, and haze. We focus on NOAA geostationary & polar-orbiting satellite products, but also feature TEMPO and TROPOMI imagery as well.

Sadly, I recently learned that MPLnet is being shut down due to budget cuts. We will lose a precious and unique source of information for monitoring pollution in the country. The loss of this data will impair the future development of new satellite detection technologies. 6/n

🧪🛰️🌍 Today's smoke over the Mid-Atlantic highlights a critical gap in our air quality monitoring. We rely on satellites and surface data to track long-range pollutants, but we are about to lose a vital part of that network. 1/n

RFK's Covid vax misinfo/disinfo fueled the distrust that has made public health folks' jobs harder & more dangerous. Now, he's using the lack of trust to justify dismantling our public health protections. My latest @opinion.bloomberg.com (🎁 link):

Studying the Earth is literally in the authorizing charter of NASA and always been part of their mission… arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...

Are you terrific grant writer who wants to work with the best team in climate politics and policy? If so, apply now! This position is fully remote in the US.

This is devastating, and part of a larger move to entirely push science out of NASA's mission. It is horrific betrayal of so much work, not to mention the fact that it violates NASA's charter.

The recent DOE climate science report misrepresents the work of many researchers. Carbon Brief asked those cited to review the parts of the report where their work was used, and we collectively found 100+ misleading or false statements: interactive.carbonbr...

“One can draw a straight line from White's alleged fears to Kennedy's past comments. Kennedy is one of the most prolific spreaders of anti-vaccine misinformation and disinformation in the US and has spent years sowing doubt and fear about lifesaving immunizations.”

If you'd like to offer comments on the misleading & error-ridden US federal report, "Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate," the link to do so is below. Comments are due by Sept 2. Pls see next post for links to resources that debunk the claims in this report.

The Trump administration may let power plants and oil refineries stop reporting their climate pollution. But the sky is watching – and you can, too.

Looking for a way to do something? read the EPA reversal of the endangerment finding, and then file a public comment explaining why it is false, wrong, misguided. Your comment can be scientific, legal, or just about what the American people want.. Reversal: www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

U.S.-funded contraceptives worth nearly $10 million are being sent to France from Belgium to be incinerated, after Washington rejected offers from the U.N. and family planning organisations to buy or ship the supplies to poor nations, two sources told Reuters. www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

This a long read & deserves to be savored. I especially love that the authors are enthusiastic users of AI, which "makes it easy to forget that the impact of AI on science as an institution, rather than individual scientists, is a different question that demands a different kind of analysis."

“By including these children’s DNA in CODIS, their profiles will be queried every time a search is done of the database,” United States Senator Ron writes. “These children will be treated by law enforcement as suspects for every investigation of every future crime, indefinitely.”
