Now Major Hurricane Humberto's rate of intensification of 55 mph in 24 hours is just short of the Extreme Rapid Intensification threshold. It follows major hurricanes Erin and Gabrielle. It's the first time since 1935 that the first three hurricanes of the year all reach major status.

Weather Prediction Center (WPC) has unveiled the experimental Urban Rain Rate Dashboard. It uses high-res model guidance to highlight where chances of intense rain rates are highest in major cities. It’s linked in “Forecast Tools” tab on the WPC home page. Direct link: www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/urrd/

It’s a tough time for political satire in America. It’s also a tough time for clean energy. I’ve been thinking a lot about Samuel Jackson’s “motherf-cking windfarms” ad. So, I finally wrote about it — and the future of climate-focused comedy in our democracy👇 www.canarymedia.com/articles/cul...

@weathermatrix.bsky.social Hi! I am a reporter with AFP, could we DM for a story I am working on? Thank you!

breaking from me: the trump administration just suffered its first major loss in court over its onslaught on offshore wind the revolution wind project can now resume construction after a federal judge found its developer orsted was likely to win against the trump order to stop work @heatmap.news

In EVERY possible way, Trump restricts speech and credibility, now limiting international journalists' visas to 240 days, 90 for Chinese reporters. USA: Proposed journalist visa restrictions would have catastrophic consequences for press freedom rsf.org/s/95377

The Pacific "blob" is back, except this time it stretches across the entire North Pacific Ocean Basin. This is altering weather patterns, led to Japan's hottest summer on record, and could affect your winter weather too. Also hit hard is marine life. www.cnn.com/2025/09/19/c...

Breaking News: The EPA moved to stop requiring polluters to report their emissions of greenhouse gases. The proposal would end a key tool the government uses to track carbon dioxide, methane and other gases that are driving climate change.

Wait, why is it ok "to argue that American energy dominance supersedes climate concerns, or that we need an all-of-the-above energy strategy that doesn't pick clean energy sources as favorites"? I mean, I understand why right-wing politicians argue these things, but why does a climate modeler? 1/n

🔬I was contacted by Stanford researcher Solomon Hsiang to cover this major correction of a climate paper published in Nature last year. Here's the story: phys.org/news/2025-08...

Leopards are facing a severe conservation crisis. They have lost 75% of their historical range globally, and in South Africa, they are already extinct in 67% of their former range. Without immediate action to address habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict, leopards could disappear entirely.

AFP spoke to five scientists about DoE's new "climate" report that cited their work. Read what they have to say about it: factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Breaking News: The EPA is said to have drafted a plan that would end its ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions.

🏮 Crepuscular species of fireflies have also adapted remarkably well to artificial light pollution, scientists told me. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

🏮 With over 2,000 species of fireflies worldwide and present on every continent except for Antarctica, a total extinction over the course of just one generation is basically impossible. factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

🏮 Viral posts of computer-generated montages of fireflies on Tiktok in July, gathering over 30 million views, make the claim that our generation is the last one to observe the little lantern bug in nature. As always, it's more complicated than that.
