🚨 The U.S. gov’t shut down at midnight. Most federal science is halted: 🔹 EPA: 89% staff suspended, pollution monitoring & cleanups stop 🔹 NOAA/NWS: Weather alerts stay, but climate & ocean research frozen 🔹 NASA: <17% remain to keep ISS & spacecraft safe

Why do fossil fuels continue to receive subsidies & lobbying that put profits over people? Let’s shift to what matters: clean air, health, and our kids’ future. ✍️ Sign the petition and spread the word. The louder we are, the harder we are to ignore: act4icarus.org

A Hurricane Warning has been hoisted for #Bermuda. #Imelda, north of the #Bahamas & east of #Florida, is the 4th hurricane of the 2025 season. The seasonal norm up to this date is 5 hurricanes. But the first 3 to form reached Category 4 & 5 status—a record in the satellite era.

Manta rays are vital to our oceans, carrying nutrients between offshore feeding grounds & reefs. Yet the giant manta ray was classified as 'Endangered' by @sscmarine.bsky.social, due to targeted fisheries, the gill plate trade, and climate-driven habitat loss. We must protect these gentle giants!

🚨 More than 85 international climate experts published a 439-page review challenging the Department of Energy’s new climate report. It downplays the risks of carbon emissions, cherry-picks data, and ignores decades of research. #ClimateScience

Bobcat spotted in #Venice, #FL! Sleek and secretive, the Florida bobcat roams forests, swamps, and hammocks across the state. Though not endangered, their numbers have dipped due to rapid development and habitat loss. #WildlifeWednesday

Europe is facing its worst wildfire season on record: over 1M hectares burned in 2025. Spain & Portugal account for 2/3 of the damage, with 1% of the Iberian Peninsula scorched. Climate change & land neglect fuel the crisis, and experts warn it will only worsen. #ClimateCrisis

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

🌎 Real change starts when those most impacted lead. With support from @MiamiDadeCounty, we trained 50 local leaders in English, Spanish and Haitian Creole on hurricanes, flooding and extreme heat. Equipped with tools and knowledge, they’ll help make entire neighborhoods more resilient.

And now the attribution analysis results: climate change strengthened #Erin ’s peak intensity by about 9 mph 📈, resulting in it becoming a Category 5️⃣ storm. If not for human-caused climate change, Erin would have been a Category 4 storm at its peak. www.climatecentral.org/tropical-cyc...

Too early to know for sure, but for this system being monitored by NHC the consensus of the models suggests a tropical storm passing north of the Caribbean this weekend. Meanwhile, NHC labeled another wave coming out of Africa as #Invest99L with a more southern track.

"[The EPA's change] would make regulating climate pollution nearly impossible at a time when our communities are facing extreme heat, floods & rising utility bills,” says @cleanenergygirl.bsky.social in @theinvadingsea.bsky.social.

This critical conversation is happening tomorrow. Funding cuts to NOAA and FEMA put lives at risk as extreme weather worsens. Don’t miss this webinar with @johnmoralestv.bsky.social & Dr. Neha Pathak hosted by @cleanenergygirl.bsky.social with The CLEO Institute. RSVP: bit.ly/ExtremeWeatherWebinar

Tuvalu may become the first country lost to climate change. 🌊 With most land barely above sea level, rising oceans are forcing its people to evacuate. 80% have applied for climate visas to Australia. A warning to the world: act now, cut emissions and protect those on the frontlines.
