Many important weather and climate data streams have gone silent as the U.S. government shutdown continues on. As just one example, NOAA’s Global Monitoring Laboratory did not release its regular monthly update for greenhouse gases, such as for carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

We know there's an ideal temp for running marathons, however... as the planet warms due to #climatechange, those optimal race-day conditions will become less likely. Explore how specific races are impacted with @climatecentral.org's new interactive tool. 👉 app.climatecentral.org/dataviz/mara...

"An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft has found that Melissa is strengthening..." This is an absolutely terrifying update so close to landfall. Melissa now at 180mph winds and 896mb central pressure. www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/refresh...

“If you do not measure it you can’t manage it.” We may never know the final cost of the L.A. fires because Trump stopped keeping track. Scientist formerly in charge of the project joined me on @lastword.msnbc.com ahead of the release of my new book “Firestorm.” preorder: a.co/d/83fAJtc

Hurricane #Melissa explosively intensified into a Category 5 storm over exceptionally warm Caribbean waters. Here's how climate change amplified this dangerous hurricane—from its rapid strengthening to the catastrophic rainfall ahead ⤵️ youtube.com/shorts/VtbZZ...

🧵 on Hurricane Melissa

👀

Seems not great.

Yes, hurricanes have rapidly intensified in October before. Yes, the Caribbean has been untouched this hurricane season. But we understand the human influence on the excessive warmth in the basin, boosting #Melissa's intensity. Real-time data & the human-caused impacts 🧵👇

Big news out of @climatecentral.org today! We've brought back NOAA's billion dollar disaster dataset! Check out our interactive website and bookmark it because there's more to come! www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

Thanks @somas-sbu.bsky.social !

Do you want to add more climate info into your content but aren't sure how to make it feel natural? We got you. Join us as we walk through "dripping" - aka making it part of the conversation in stories you are already telling 🗓️ Wed, Oct. 21 | 2pm ET 🔗 climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

New analysis! Paris Agreement commitments would help the planet avoid some really really really really bad heat impacts by 2100. But still would cause really really bad heat impacts compared to now, AND would fall short of Paris Agreement goals. www.climatecentral.org/report/10th-...

Disastrous storm surge struck western AK Sunday. All 6 NWS upper air sites in the area have chronic issues (see alt-text). In addition to no releases from 2 sites, 2 sites are releasing only 1x per day instead of 2x. 2 have intermittent issues, 1 of these (Nome) had no releases 10/9 or 10/10 (1/2)

With high surf and coastal flood warnings stretching along much of the East Coast, @climatecentral.org's Coastal Risk Finder is an incredibly useful tool to understand what and who is at risk. app.climatecentral.org/coastal-risk...

Really great article by a great former colleague @tdiliberto.bsky.social on what a weak La Niña could mean as far as snowfall goes this year, and the long term winter snowfall trend across the U.S.: www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Of note, looking at the Relative Oceanic Nino Index (one that better takes into account warming trends), 14 of the last 15 three-month periods have qualified for La Nina. That includes the last two seasons (June-August, July-September). www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/data/indices...

📣 Check it out! Explore the new data viz on our homepage: www.climatecentral.org @climatecentral.org just released a new tool to explore climate impacts in U.S. cities and states - making complex data easier to understand for your community. 🚨 What’s the biggest Fall climate threat where you live?

Climate change is global. But the impacts are felt locally. Climate Central has a new feature that can help you tell your city’s climate story, finding the impacts that matter the most for you and your community. 1/2 www.climatecentral.org/climate-local

I'm hiring! 🔽

In case you missed the big news earlier this week... We've brought the website of the Fifth National Climate Assessment back online. Explore it at nca5.climate.us The assessment, which was released by the U.S. Global Change Research Program in 2023, is the most recent state of the science... (1/2)

It's so easy when it comes to climate action to think that you're alone in your concerns. But survey after survey says the opposite! It will take community to solve climate change. And there's A LOT of people who care.

Most people care about climate change & want govts to act —yet many think they’re in the minority. You’re not! Talking about this helps close the perception gap. More in this week’s Climate Matters: www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt... Thanks @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social & happy #ClimateWeek!

Check out the details, data, & attribution science from @wwattribution.bsky.social in the wake of Hurricane Helene here ⤵️ www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

🚨 NCA5 is now LIVE! 🚨 They took it down, but we've brought it back at: nca5.climate.us Bookmark. 👏 this. 👏 page. 👏 This is just our first step in restoring trusted science information that Americans need to understand what's happening with the climate.

Three regional CASCs - the Northeast, South Central and Pacific Islands - will cease operations in coming weeks because Dept of the Interior won’t approve their next 5-year agreements. Other CASCs have had projects cancelled and funds reprogrammed in violation of Congressional appropriations.

New docs obtained via FOIA reveal how the personal attacks to FEMA staff last hurricane season were much worse than previously known, including swatting & doxxing of officials. Story @bloomberg.com, w/ @davey.bsky.social @jasonleopold.bsky.social (gift link): www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

📍Spain: Another round of unusual, excessive heat has been building, forecast to peak through the back half of the week. 🌡️Temperatures 7°-9.5°C ABOVE average. 🔴Heat made up to 5x more likely by -- almost impossible without -- human-caused climate change.

🚨 NEW: Climate change is already causing 30,000 deaths per year - a global annual economic loss of $100-350B USD - but the true damage is probably 10x higher. Out TODAY in Nature Climate Change: the first systematic look at the science of "health impact attribution" 🔓 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Cool session for educators on how to use our Coastal Risk Finder in your classrooms! September 22 5-6pm ET

This is a remarkable retrospective from @noaa.gov NCEI on Helene nearly a year after the storm came ashore. This is made even more powerful by the fact that these researchers are talking about their communities/neighbors/loved ones. 🧵🔽 from @jjrennie.bsky.social

The National Climate Risk Report - my life for two years - has just been released. www.acs.gov.au/pages/nation... Minister Bowen press conference at: www.youtube.com/live/GLvd_fu... My specific report on the weather and climate hazards: climateservice.maps.arcgis.com/sharing/rest...

I am SO EXCITED about this! Many folks want to take personal action on climate change, but many resources treat people like monoliths. Enter SHIFT -- a collaboration between Dr. Kim Nicholas and Project Drawdown -- that tailors advice for YOU, using your climate superpowers. jointheshift.earth

I know there's a lot of news rn but @eroston.bsky.social, @zhirji.bsky.social and I wrote a full accounting of the Trump administration's war on climate science and clean energy. Putting it all in one place was a lot!

The gulf is bathwater right now.

People at NIH, I have a question I'm curious to hear from you about, Signal is davelevitan.26 if have a sec, and you can remain anonymous

Really cool new generational heat tool from @climatecentral.org that lets you compare the number of extremely hot days added by climate change across generations.

Starting at Noon ET today September 3! Don't miss this webinar on prepping your fall climate coverage.

Share with @relindsey.bsky.social how you've used climate[dot]gov in the past why it should continue! She's one of the folks behind @climate.us !

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

Do you believe that climate facts should remain free from political interference and easily accessible? If so, watch our video and consider supporting our initiative. Find out how you can support: donorbox.org/climate-us-p...

“A respected network of hospitals and cancer centers is halting enrollment in clinical trials for children with brain cancer after the federal government said it would no longer provide funding to the group.” This is on Trump. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

If you were a user or admirer of NOAA’s amazing climate.gov website - which has had all the good stuff (e.g., actual data and climate monitoring indices) removed by government - some web and data gurus/guerrillas are about to launch a recreation at climate.us.

More sad news for the polar community... Arctic Research Consortium of the United States (@arcus-arctic.bsky.social) is shutting down. We all lose here. The past 8 months have been unthinkable, and their consequences for the future even more so.

SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇

I spoke with some of the top experts on how climate change is affecting Atlantic hurricanes, specifically when it comes to rapid intensification. It was... unsettling. Here's the story that resulted: www.cnn.com/2025/08/29/c...

Our new study finds that the upper atmosphere is becoming more sheared and less stratified because of climate change. Both these changes are making the atmosphere less stable and more conducive to turbulence. Covered by the BBC here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
