Trump's UN speech was one of his most unfiltered and extended climate denial riffs ever, full of falsehoods, lies and distortions. “I’m really good at predicting things...I don’t say that in a braggadocios way, but it’s true. I’ve been right about everything.” www.eenews.net/articles/con...

It used to be global cooling." Climate change is "the greatest con job perpetrated on the world." Climate predictions "made by stupid people." "I've been right about everything and I'm telling you that if you don't get away from green energy...it's a scam." Trump to the UN just now.

"We understood a lot more than people who studied it," Trump says, describing RFK Jr. and their mutual claims about autism research. He notes they have been pushing their claims (debunked by a vast body of research) for 20 years and that the administration's new report stems from their beliefs.

Interior Sec. Doug Burgum is the administration's attack dog on wind energy, killing projects, claiming it's unreliabe. But wind energy doubled in North Dakota during his tenure as governor, now providing 1/3 of the state's electricity. Only 5 other states produce more www.eenews.net/articles/bur...

This post that states "white people did more to end slavery than anyone" is from a climate denier cited as an expert by PragerU, Fox, etc. His tweet perfectly encapsulates how deniers cherry-pick data to support absurd conclusions. (My great-great grandfather was one of those Union casualties)

NEW: A Trump-backed crypto company is warning investors that rising temps “pose a threat” to its operations. American Bitcoin's disclosure is a reminder that companies are still concerned about climate change — despite the president's efforts to downplay the problem. www.eenews.net/articles/don...

None of this is true. Still, NOAA actually studied and tested the issue and found that "There are no known links between large whale deaths and ongoing offshore wind activities." www.fisheries.noaa.gov/new-england-...

The White House has determined that this painting should not be on display at the Smithsonian as part of its new foray into art criticism. www.whitehouse.gov/articles/202...

Trump officials may soon hold public climate science debates, recruit more denialists to attack research and go through every line of the National Climate Assessments to highlight doubt, a DOE report author told me. “We will have to enlist other scientists," he said. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Scoop: The Trump administration on Friday sent letters to wind energy developers indicating a crackdown under bird protection laws is imminent They’re targeting wind projects using the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, with six-figure fines and jail time for violations Via @heatmap.news

Energy Secretary Chris Wright now has a government-issued report pushing his brand of debunked climate denial. It comes as Trump admin slashes the climate science that proves him wrong. A growing number of scientists whose work was cited say it was misrepresented. www.eenews.net/articles/doe...

The Trump administration's climate science report is riddled with cherry-picked data, sweeping claims easily contradicted by a vast body of research and long-debunked climate denial tropes. @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social and I fact-check some claims here: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

As Zeldin speaks, the heat index at the bottom of the screen is showing parts of the country hitting feels-like temperatures of 121 degrees. Extreme heat is a leading cause of death from climate change, a toll that will increase as CO2 levels rise.

EXCLUSIVE: A team of researchers in California drew notoriety last year with an aborted test of a cloud-making machine.   But behind the scenes, they were planning a larger and potentially riskier study of tech that could dim the sun's rays, internal documents show. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

The Ohio steel plant that lifted JD Vance's family out of poverty was set to become the future of a dying US industry, a global model of decarbonization and modernization. Under Trump, that plan was scrapped and it's now doubling down on "beautiful coal." www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

NEW: Senior NASA officials considering selling or leasing satellites already in orbit. Billions of $ already spent to send probes into space, savings are minimal. Trump WH focused on satellites producing climate data, but they provide weather and other essential data. www.eenews.net/articles/for...

Alcatraz was built more than 100 years ago and has been battered and blasted by saltwater and intense weather on the bay ever since. It has long been in a significant state of deterioration, and one could likely tunnel out of the decaying concrete structure in many places using a soup spoon.

The leader of FEMA, which Trump has said he wants to eliminate, has been totally missing in action in the last week. www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

Trump has long politicized disaster response, campaigned on it last year by spreading misinformation and repeatedly threatened to withhold aid to states run by Democrats. Now, his White House is decrying politicization as Democrats blame NWS cuts for the Texas tragedy. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Flood forecasts in TX were highly accurate — but the vast majority of Trump’s cuts to NOAA’s science capabilities have yet to land. If they do, future predictions of extreme rainfall and flash floods could dramatically decline. @scottpwaldman.bsky.social and I today: www.eenews.net/articles/flo...

Trump officials are now empowered to "discipline" federal scientists and "correct" their research if it doesn't advance administration's priorities. Science will undergo a hostile red team review. Fringe and industry-affiliated science will be given more weight. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Scientists are pondering potential non-federal alternatives for the National Climate Assessment. AGU/AMS have already announced one initiative -- and there's other historical precedents for major efforts to keep stymied federal science reports alive. My story: www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

New: A proposed #EPA science office would be "much smaller" than the agency's existing Office of Research and Development, per an internal email that provides much more detail on its structure than #EPA has publicly released. By Miranda Willson and me: www.eenews.net/articles/epa...

hey my band tapped some really sick trans nonbinary and gender non-conforming artists to make remixes of our critically acclaimed album from last year would mean the world if you listened and shared bc they rip

Trump claims climate change is a “hoax.” Now, his administration is silencing government research that proves him wrong. Climate-monitoring spacecraft will be shut down, thousands of scientists have been dismissed, invaluable data eliminated. The assault has just begun www.eenews.net/articles/how...

TRUMP: I ASSUME THIS BILL ALSO COVERS ELECTRIC BOATS

Exclusive: I have confirmed that the federal government is still refusing to process permit applications for land-based wind projects almost six months into the Trump administration. Not just offshore. It threatens untold billions of capital investments in the United States. via @heatmap.news

NEW: The White House is quietly ordering agencies to freeze billions of dollars in additional funding for the EPA, Interior, Ag, National Science Foundation and more as part of a strategy to make cuts to education, climate, etc permanent and weaken role of Congress. www.eenews.net/articles/whi...

I'm assuming that red Tesla purchased by Trump will soon be up for sale.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and OMB Director Russ Vought both appeared before Congressional committees today and no Democrats asked them about the proposed gutting of virtually all climate research at both NOAA and NASA.

The Trump White House's proposed NASA cuts are an "extinction-level event." It cuts the science division in half and cancels spacecraft currently in orbit that monitor climate change, even though they monitor agricultural growing seasons, water availability and more. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

NOAA's basic functionality is deteriorating. Weather modeling and prediction is compromised. Political staff is already enacting cuts proposed by Trump White House even though Congress decides funding. Contracts, grants unpaid. Growing number of Republicans concerned. www.eenews.net/articles/red...

Hurricane season has begun amid chaos at the federal agencies that forecast and respond to disasters. Experts say the country’s ability to deal with extreme weather is eroding - but the biggest impacts may not hit immediately or manifest in the most obvious places. 🧵 www.eenews.net/articles/cha...

This is a great must-read story

Elon Musk's Grok AI Chatbot introduces climate denialism when asked about the threat of climate change. It's the only one of the major AI chatbot companies that gives such answers. And it just started doing so a few months ago. www.eenews.net/articles/is-...

Punishing colleges by blocking foreign student enrollment, taxing endowments and making major changes to loans for parents and students is going to force some colleges to close. Small liberal arts schools, many already struggling with enrollment, are most vulnerable. Many are in GOP districts.

We're proud our AI agreement has safeguards for journalists jobs-and company ethics, to allow AI use in a way that works for us, not against us. @politico.com already agreed that AI-generated content should be subject to the same standards as human-written articles. It needs to follow the contract

Hundreds of contracts are stacking up at @noaa.gov. Senior officials need program approval from a Trump-appointed former food hall monitor. Lifesaving weather communications threatened, employees furloughed and agency functionality crippled. Even Ted Cruz is angry. www.eenews.net/articles/bac...

This is basically the plot of The Running Man movie from 1987. The film takes place in the dystopian future of 2017-2019 when a totalitarian government controls the country through propaganda following an economic collapse. (One of two movies released that year featuring two future governors).

NEW: At least two institutions have been directed to comply with Trump’s anti-trans executive order as a condition of getting NIH grants, according to letters I've seen. The policy marks a new front in the administration's efforts to reshape the science ecosystem. www.chronicle.com/article/the-...

There’s so much happening right now, I thought I’d put together a running thread on the dismantling of #climate and research and knowledge infrastructure in the United States 🧵

NEW: US weather forecasting is in worse shape than previously known, with 30 NWS forecast offices missing meteorologists-in-charge and about a dozen offices at risk of no longer serving their communities 24/7. www.cnn.com/2025/05/02/w...

NEW from me: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company is operating 35 gas turbines without any pollution permits, belching asthma-worsening emissions into an area that leads Tennessee in ER visits for asthma. www.eenews.net/articles/elo...

The Trump administration's dismissal of the scientists writing the National Climate Assessment, which is Congressionally mandated, is another step toward the effort to produce federal climate research and reports that highlight doubt over consensus science. www.eenews.net/articles/tru...

Important story by a great reporter, @chelseaeharvey.bsky.social, on how NOAA buried the alarming finding that C02 levels rose at a significant rate last year.
