Trump says we can’t afford weather forecasting and climate research, all while spending $1.2 BILLION in taxpayer dollars a day on his Iran war. https://heated.world/p/as-super-el-nino-approaches-trump

Citizens and governments are recognising the economic and security value of heat pumps. Has taken some time but good to see the European market doubling in size in a decade. It's a miracle that they slash emissions too. www.ft.com/content/571e... via @FT

fighting drought by harvesting energy. you love to see it

Against the backdrop of an energy crisis and a warming planet, more than 50 countries have come to Santa Marta, Colombia, to discuss concrete ways to phase out oil, gas, and coal. n.pr/3R8HSah

I was recently interviewed by the Hechinger Report about a new comparative education research project. Check it out:

The United States now has the most government restrictions on academic freedom of any high-income country. www.chemistryworld.com/news/academi... Raw data from @vdeminstitute.bsky.social —> academic-freedom-index.net/research/Aca...

U.S. President Donald Trump has fired all 24 members of the National Science Board, the body that oversees the National Science Foundation. https://scim.ag/4cxQWhl

"In Guyang-ri, a farming village of 70 households south-east of Seoul, people gather for communal free lunches six days a week. The meals are funded by the village’s one-megawatt solar installation, which generates roughly $6,800 in net profit each month." www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Today's average gas price in the U.S. is $4.15 per gallon. Charging an EV at home is much cheaper - as of today it's a 62% savings. Not to mention, it's far less polluting. Win win!

There is such an obvious opportunity for politicians to make huge inroads on a platform of a just transition and community based incentives. You can address ALL of these day to day affordability issues, environmental justice, and climate change in ways that HELPS people and win big.

Artemis is "an echo of what America could still be, but is not today, because of the attacks on science," Rep. Whitesides told me. The mission has captured imaginations worldwide—but also casts Trump's deep proposed cuts to federal research into sharp relief. My story: www.eenews.net/articles/art...

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Why this NASA climate scientist wants you to stay angry

The Trump budget once again proposes to eliminate NOAA OAR, which brings you the CO₂ Keeling Curve. In this piece, I argued that the Keeling Curve is a treasure that belongs to humanity as the most poignant indication of our impact on the environment and as a testament to our ability to document it.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Since the start of the 21st century the share of energy consumption from renewables has doubled globally, tripled in the United States, and more than tripled in China, which overtook the U.S. as the country with the largest annual carbon dioxide emissions back in 2006.

1/ My first story as a @propublica.org climate reporter: I discovered that the Trump appointee in charge of rewriting methane rules at the EPA was – just four years ago – an unnamed author of an oil industry response to those same rules. His name isn't in the document itself, but…

I had a feeling this was going to happen. Sad news, especially given the poor state of sea ice after this winter. Looks like we won't be getting any more data for Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume for a while from PIOMAS. See: psc.apl.uw.edu/research/pro...

My resignation letter

Remember when USPS had a contract to buy a fleet of EVs and Trump made them cancel it and go back to gas?

I should add: Burgum was specifically applauding Trump’s deal to pay an offshore wind developer $1 billion to abandon its project and invest in oil and gas instead. Ans the refinery explosion hours later sent gas prices soaring and forced nearby residents to shelter in place.

Wild figures in two decades of EIA retrospective data. Solar getting it wrong gets all the airplay. But the consistent underestimation of natural gas exports and the speed of coal's collapse are just as striking, even at 3-5 year horizons.

The US is now a command and control economy, but purely to the benefit of fossil fuel industries.

Just a year ago, we heard reducing the deficit was so important Elon Musk had to fire as many scientists, forest rangers and Black women on the government’s payroll that he could find. Now? 🤷🏾‍♂️

The entire annual budget for NASA is $24.4 B. Annual budget for the National Science Foundation (NSF): $10.2 B. NOAA: $6.9 B. US Geological Survey: $1.45 B.

"US oil companies stand to receive a windfall of more than $60bn this year if crude prices maintain the levels they have hit since the start of the Iran war" www.ft.com/content/37d4...

Hold the line.

How much profit is your utility making off you? Electricity costs are soaring - this tool from @energyandpolicy.org shows how much extra your utility charges per month. Nationally, electric utilities took ~15% of your bill for profit last year. energyandpolicy.org/utilityprofi...

Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150 Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.

Past fossil-fuel price spikes left import-dependent countries with two options: pay up or cut fuel use. Now there is an alternative in solar and batteries. I looked at recent examples in Europe, Pakistan, Cuba to glean what might happen with the war on Iran. 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

On The Climate Brink, an obituary for the DOE Climate Working Group report

People expect 'greens' to be talking about climate - 'of course they'd say that, they're an environmentalist' But when people who aren't the usual suspects talk about it, it turns it from a niche concern to a mainstream concern 'Everyday influencers' are vital for reaching social tipping points

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...

“What matters is making it clear that the people Musk has killed…had lives that mattered as much as yours or mine, and that gleefully snuffing them out by the hundreds of thousands is not a mere peccadillo, but a crime on the scale of that committed by the defendants at Nuremberg.” Boycott Elon.

hey some rare good news: the us is installing a SHIT TON of batteries right now!

It can take science orgs a bit of time after the end of the year to stitch together all the observations of global surface temperature into an annual picture. All 5 of the major datasets are now available, so we’ve put together the latest annual update. #ClimateFacts #ScienceMatters [1/8]

Even actuaries are concerned about insurance markets, and corrupt fossil fuel efforts to impede climate risk research. Consumers will pay.

when big tech companies say that AI will save the planet, what kinds of AI are they actually talking about — and what's their proof? i took a look at some great new research from @ketanjoshi.co and talked to other experts about how a lot of this talk is probably bullshit:

OKAY BIG ONE FOR YA NEW report out today: I dig deep into how big tech has been muddling tech types and overstating evidence to claim "AI" will make global emissions drop like a stone.... Not only will it not, it seems to be verifiably doing the opposite!! ketanjoshi.co/2026/02/17/b... + 📼+🧵>
