Some reflections after returning back from a conference at which I and 20,000 colleagues learned that the Trump administration intends to dismantle #NCAR. This outrage should not happen. deepconvection.substack.com/p/save-ncar

I feel attacked by all the “nobody should talk/do anything about climate change” discourse because a) I wrote a book about climate change and b) I personally live on Earth

I was talking to a colleague on Friday and he said, oh, I didn’t know you wrote a book?? and clearly I have not been obnoxious enough anout this. So: I wrote a book. Some people thought it was good. You should read it www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/epis...

From wildfire warnings to flood forecasts, NCAR's research impacts everyone in America. President Trump's attempt to dismantle it for political vengeance is beyond reckless. We will fight against this dangerous scheme every step of the way.

why stop at oil and gas, let’s support all the stupid ways to generate energy. Unregulated Soviet nuclear plants. Dung. Proton decay. Whatever

Liberals should support the whaling industry. The benefits of this to the American economy are large. Natural resource extraction offers good-paying blue-collar jobs. It also generates useful tax revenue. In more abstract terms, it improves the country’s literary reputation and metaphor production

Please join the American Geophysical Union in advocating to safeguard NCAR. agu.quorum.us/campaign/151...

AGU has a Congressional email and call script up on NCAR:

I think it’s good for scientists not to talk about policy or politics- unless we have specific expertise in those areas. But we are humans, humans have values, and we need to say what ours are and stand up for them.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

It’s simply not possible to overstate how important NCAR is to US and world science. We need to fight this with everything we’ve got.

Time to repurpose #AGU25 as a mass mobilization in support of NCAR, NSF, NOAA, NASA, USGS, DOE BER, and the Congressional power of the purse.

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

Most of the scientists at the nonprofit that I cofounded, including my two cofounders, came from NCAR. It’s hard to overstate the importance of this place for climate science.

Oh my god me too. Solidarity and love to everyone else who published a book this awful year

How much of the observed global warming was caused by humans? Science's best estimate: ALL OF IT

This is what it looked like on January 19, 2025 19january2025snapshot.epa.gov/climate-indi...

Bot hands on misery to man It deepens like a coastal shelf Get out as early as you can And don’t use chatGPT yourself

The planet is cooling but it’s also warming and the warming is beneficial but it’s not caused by humans and also it’s all China’s fault but sure it’s the *scientists* who are bad communicators

yes this is called “winter”

The temperature is not going down like a rock. Graphic from zacklabe.com/climate-chan...

i know science is currently getting its ass kicked by lies but it also really bothers me that the bullshit is so much more boring than the truth

Look I get the urge to ignore science, I find it hard to accept that cheese is bad for you/jogging has a point/bourbon isn't a vegetable. It's normal, you get over it, whatever. What I don't get is ignoring science in the service of killing as many of your own voters as possible, for no reason

Overall trust in scientists and medical professionals is still rather high (Pew 2024). And only about 7% of American/Canadian respondents in a study (Gravelle 2022) are stridently anti-vax. MAHA is platforming views of a very small minority, to erode the majority.

The world’s favorite climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe recommends HUMAN NATURE!

I think you’re supposed to say you’re humbled by things like this and you know what? absolutely not, this is amazing and my ego has swelled five sizes and I’m going to be insufferable for the foreseeable future www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/epis...

Here's a gift article version of my article in the Atlantic about how to lower electricity prices. www.theatlantic.com/science/2025...

It takes guts to admit you’ve made a mistake and correct your work. This is why we should trust science: it’s not perfect, and it knows that

Most people do not realize that California got electricity from coal in 2025. Got. As of last week, it is past tense. Finally, finally. We are so far behind but we are moving forward thanks to so many people who never give up.

"have the viruses do the education" is a) bleak and b) maybe not going to work? when in human history have people been like "you know what, we made stupid choices and totally deserve this"

I have historically been cranky about renaming climate change to “global warming” or “climate breakdown” or whatever but what if we just called it “real bad shit”

Oh interesting, whose fault is that?

Greenhouse gas emissions from poultry are only about a tenth of the emissions from cattle, a problem that can be rectified by simply feeding your turkeys beef

RFK Jr doesn't exist and nobody has to listen to him

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

One of the stranger aspects of writing nonfiction is that some reviews of your *book* will actually be reviews of its *subject* CLIMATE CHANGE: ONE STAR

Do the research howdovaccinescauseautism.com

Breaking News: the American people said they personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that RFK Jr exists.

Climate physicist @drkatemarvel.bsky.social probed the mysteries of the cosmos as an astrophysicist before shifting to climate modeling because, she says, she is drawn by questions that are big and expansive but also relevant. #physics #climatescience #astronomy

Things that will get you kicked out of academia forever: - taking maternity leave at the wrong time - spending too much time with your kids - reporting harassment - not moving every 2-3 years - taking a partner's job/preferences into account - mouthing off before tenure

Something no one prepares you for when you publish a book is how deeply moved you'll be when anyone tells you they've read it. I keep tearing up and making it really weird, sorry everyone

I’m sorry to be self promoting but I a) have never been seduced by a fascist with a brain worm b) am capable of crafting a decent sentence and c) wrote a book that did not earn me a fawning profile in the newspaper but is still pretty good bookshop.org/p/books/huma...
