An appalling misuse of government power: I checked EPA's database to see how extreme the coming wildfire smoke event would have to be to set records in places like NYC and Detroit, but access to EPA's pollution database was removed in April 2025 and not restored. truthout.org/articles/epa...

Get ready for dark skies and extremely poor air quality in the Great Lakes and Northeast. Most of the smoke from the fires in Minnesota and Ontario is aloft this morning and circulating around the heat dome. That likely changes by Wednesday.

A friendly reminder: life can feel heavy and sometimes even brutal, but make space to look for joy each day, in every small opportunity, even in the midst of rough times.

NEW: Eight facts about air conditioning amid an overheated global debate KEY FACT: Many European cities, on the world's fastest-warming continent, never needed AC in the past For some strange reason – I can't imagine why – many commentators prefer to ignore this

There's a lot of wild information in my conversation today with @jeffgoodell.bsky.social -- about the true number of people who may have died from heat in Europe (20k??) and heat solutions that aren't AC. If you are sweating it out -- this one's for you slate.com/podcasts/wha...

To AC or not to AC is not the right question. The right question is how to reduce suffering and death from extreme heat. AC is just one tool. It is not a technofix for life on a superheated planet.

Climate.us is officially live! After NOAA ended Climate.gov’s day-to-day operations in 2025, former team members built Climate.us to carry that work forward. Their explanations and graphics have always stood out to me as clear, accessible, and transparent. I’m really looking forward to this reboot.

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. A few calming breaths can allow us to coast over the torrents that are below us. Have a peaceful day. #Sunsets #photography #goldenhour #seascape #ocean #beach #ECK #EastCoastKin #maine
