Comment period ends TODAY on OPM-2026-0100-0004, requiring ALL federal employees sign NDAs. More background on this proposed rule and concerns: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/trump-want... Send uniquely worded comments here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

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.

OK, *that* is cool.

Scoop: The Trump administration is backing off its plan to dismantle a $368 million ocean monitoring system crucial to understanding climate change, after a bipartisan backlash in Congress. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/c...

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

Seth Moulton just introduced a bill to ban this lobster from playing sports

New study finds increased wildfire smoke has erased 4 years of progress in controlling surface ozone pollution. "Premature deaths from fire-sourced ozone have increased by 318 deaths per year since 2013, with post-2013 mortality 46% higher than pre-2013 mortality." www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What would Congress look like if no one was allowed to rig the map? We drew all 435 districts without partisan gerrymandering. The result: more competitive seats, fairer outcomes, and a House that actually moves when voters do. See your area 👇 https://bit.ly/4dWCFvr

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Rachel Carson is one of my heroes, and I didn't even know about her until my PhD work. Scientist and communicator who cared so deeply that she did something about it.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

I wasn’t a fan of Rowdy, but I respected his talent. One of the all-time best. Shocking news.

Impeccable messaging. No notes. Grades 100. 🧪

Forget shark week -- It's climate solutions week y'all This year the theme is LOCAL solutions - ways that cities and states and neighborhoods are stepping up when the federal government backtracks on climate action. I'll thread the stories here as the week goes on... Here's our intro ⬇️📻🎧

Data centers making it hotter? New evidence more compelling than previous assertions. My thoughts www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Is it heat exhaustion or heat stroke? 🥵 During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. Know the symptoms of heat exposure and what to do before summer starts. Bookmark weather.gov/safety/heat-illness.

GOD. DAMN. This Louisiana man fucking COOKED like I’ve seen very few people cook before.

Dr Joyce Kimutai: “Half of human-caused climate change has occurred since USA ‘94. The climate the tournament is played in today has fundamentally shifted in just 32 years.” 🔗https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change-big-player-at-fifa-world-cup-2026/ (2/2)

This might be the hardest and most imperfect thing I've ever written. I miss my mom so much today.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

🎉xmACIS2Py 2.5.1 Released🎉 Users can now calculate daily departures from normal based on a custom climatology in xmACIS2Py 2.5.1. xmACIS2Py 2.5.1 brings two new Jupyter Notebook Tutorials where we make ENSO Temperature & Precipitation Analog Composites. Notebook Links👇 #python #climate #weather

Stop calling hurricanes, wildfires and tornadoes natural disasters. My thoughts in Forbes dot com www.forbes.com/sites/marsha...

Lean in a sec, white voters. *whispers* Black friends, colleagues, neighbors are being disenfranchised. We have relied on their votes to create change and not done our part. Wringing hands and talking “electability” is also institutional racism. Vote, tell your friends, support Black candidates.

Suspending elections where people have already started voting so you can gerrymander their voting power away. Very democracy.

Another check in on spring's arrival for plants blooming. Timing is way ahead of schedule, with off-the-charts early activity across parts of the central and western U.S. Quite a season! Map from @usa-npn.bsky.social: bsky.app/profile/zack... Future projections: doi.org/10.1007/s003...

The only reason to do this is a lawless assault on academia, or a traitorous assault on the welfare of the US. The funds are appropriated. Scientific research makes us stronger as a country and better off as a people.

No the 🦆 there is not.

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.

Spring book tour alert! I'm hitting the road to talk about Wilder Weather in some places close to my heart! If you're in southern Michigan (Albion and Hillsdale) or central Pennsylvania (State College), come and see me!

Inspirational. Aspirational.

CIRES scientists at NOAA’s Global Monitoring Lab (GML) in Boulder produce some of the most critical atmospheric data on Earth. Due to a federal funding pause at the agency, that work — and the positions of the people who do it — is now at risk. Learn what GML does and why it matters ⬇️

Absolutely breathtaking view of the Artemis II launch. Wow.

Absolutely this. We go to space and learn about the cosmos and astrophysics and all of it so that we can better understand our home, our Earth, its miraculous uniqueness in space and time

Map showing which year had the warmest March. Only years with large extents are labelled.

As highlighted in this morning's @straightarrownews.bsky.social newsletter... On This Day 1918: President Woodrow Wilson's Standard Time Act went into effect, advancing clocks by an hour and creating what's now known as daylight saving time. 😒😒😒 But also the messaging -- "Get Your Hoe Ready" 😆

The official White House Android app has a cookie/paywall bypass injector, tracks your GPS every 4.5 minutes, and loads JavaScript from some guy's GitHub Pages.

To really illustrate how profoundly stupid, self-absorbed, & unthinking antivaxxers are just consider the very-easily-predictable results of what would happen if they got their way & stopped other people from vaccinating. They’d suffer and die, too. Cause vaccination isn’t just an individual choice.

🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low. Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year. For more information from @nsidc.bsky.social: nsidc.org/news-analyse...

1. EV's have significantly smaller impacts on the environment than combustion vehicles 2. EV's are less likely to catch on fire But apparently about 1/3 and 1/2 of people believe the opposite. heated.world/p/why-smart-...
