One might think the only Jewish head of state in North America - and also the most popular Jewish head of state in the world - recognizing a Palestinian embassador and calling on Israel to end its genocide might you know, be news

Fossil-fueled warming once again killed tens of thousands in Europe this summer. Scientists the rising heat and death tolls show the limits of adaptation.

this is a wild take coming from a college president that arrested and expelled peaceful protestors of genocide. i guess barnard only welcomes “difficult speakers” if they’re fascists www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/o...

Every time I think it can't get more embarrassing to be associated with Columbia and Barnard they go do something like this

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Today the United Nations commission that I lead is publishing its legal analysis of Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip,” Navi Pillay writes in a guest essay. “Our conclusion is stark: Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.”

Exciting news update! We’ve begun the process of cloning and migrating the NCA5 website to a new home & hope to make it public-facing in the next few weeks. Your continued support sharing our campaign and donating will allow us to invest in the tools needed to secure these resources long term.

Federal incentives for energy efficient home upgrades are expiring in just a few months. @rewiringamerica.bsky.social wants to make sure everyone can tap in before it’s too late.

It has always been about "putting women in their place" - out of the workforce, out of education, back into homes and under the control of men. A woman's right to choose starts with her own body and continues into her own finances, careers, education. Eroding one opens the door to steal others.

BAM! From my colleague @joshettinger.bsky.social: I hope our research encourages policy officials to be braver and pursue more ambitious climate policies. They have more public support than they may realise.”

The EPA fired five agency employees who signed a June declaration decrying moves that contradict science and undermine public health, alongside four more served removal notices

“This is information that the taxpayers have already paid for,” said @relindsey.bsky.social. “This administration is trying to hide it and take it away from us. It’s an abuse of government. It’s a waste of resources. People should be indignant.” Meet @climate.us: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Some good news!!! And more on the way....

Hmm… I’m certainly intrigued 🧐 My sources say this is legit.

The "administration is set to spend nearly $100 million, or 14% less, on the research arm of NOAA than the level mandated by Congress for *this* [emphasis added] year, according to a budget document seen by @science.org A "down payment," NOAA officials said. www.science.org/content/arti...

Happy to be one of the initial signers of this @agu.org letter for climate change scientists to EPA stating unequivocally that greenhouse gases are causing harm. Scientists can sign on here:

i think people need a refresher on what constitutes a Distraction. the cracker barrel logo thing (zero stakes, obviously invented controversy) is a Distraction. the ongoing military occupation of washington dc (ample footage of random delivery drivers being violently detained by feds) is not

China installed 212 gigawatts of solar capacity in the first six months of the year, more than America's entire capacity of 178 gigawatts as of the end of 2024 www.independent.co.uk/news/china-a...

There's a reason why sports teams don't chant "I believe that we will lose" before a game, a reason so obvious that I'm pretty sure it needs no explanation. Which is why it makes my head explode when people surrender in advance verbally, which they do all the time about politics.

"In a galling announcement made in August of 2025, NASA’s acting chief, Sean Duffy, declared the intention to abandon all non-spaceflight and exploration-related activities, defying the agency’s charter. Will anyone act to save the heart of NASA?"

Amazing thread here summarizing the testimony overwhelmingly against the Trump EPA’s proposal to repeal the scientific finding that climate-changing pollutants are dangerous. And this is just day 1 of 4.

ICYMI, EDGI’s new report documents how environmental justice and climate information are being deleted under this Trump administration. Read the report here: envirodatagov.org/publication/...

all of this is basically a trojan horse for my sinking feeling right now that generative AI will be 'good enough' and that's...potentially a very bad outcome!

"Under discussion are plans to hold a public debate about climate science, write a line-by-line rebuttal of the National Climate Assessment and ready a counterattack against climate scientists critical of last month’s Energy Department report." 🤪

need people to understand that accepting or conceding that he has the authority to do these things is tantamount to giving him the authority, and so your preemptive dooming is actively counterproductive

Thanks to Emma Lyu Buretta, Joshua Low, and the whole team at the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication for an interesting conversation about the Climate Literacy Guide, the dismantling of the federal climate enterprise, and where we go from here! climatecommunication.yale.edu/news-events/...

Unbelievable footage from NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters inside the eye of Hurricane Erin. Simply incredible.

My new @science.org editorial on the role of scientists in defending democracy is out today. As authoritarianism takes hold in the US, we must fight for the democratic principles that enable a free society and scientists have a key role. I hope you'll join us. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Just talked with an anthropologist doing ethnographic work in tandem with an engineer doing water sampling and how after a short time together they had both improved their ability to do things that directly benefit actual households. That’s the good stuff, not whatever this article is trying to say.

Reminded today of this timeless adage

RIP National Heat Strategy you would've loved saving thousands of lives and billions of dollars in Summer 2025 and beyond

The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Hurricane track forecasts made with dropsonde data from the NOAA jet 2018-2022 were up to 24% more accurate than those without the data. Congressional testimony by former NOAA/HRD chief Frank Marks: ~50% of their staff who do dropsondes were let go this year. Will this reduce missions?

It's crazy how quickly it's been normalized that the summer light in NYC is vaguely orange. Nobody even mentions it anymore.
