I’ve seen this movie before. 3/10 Do not recommend.

The Global Carbon Project has just published the most comprehensive Global Hydrogen Budget to date. H2, although not a GHG, has an indirect Global Warming Potential 37 times more potent than CO2. Carbon Brief: www.carbonbrief.org/hydrogen-emi... Research paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Friday 12:04 am: Great detail in this summary of the breadth of what NCAR does. Way too important to our nation to be caught up in politics:

Dulce Consuelo Diaz Morales was arrested on Sunday. ICE won’t release her despite extensive documentation of her citizenship, her attorneys told HuffPost.

“we have to reduce emissions in all sectors every year” *ALL* sectors. No industry gets a free ride.

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

Take action against book bans in the United States at www.bookbanpetition.us

This is not good, folks.

“I don't wanna go far for stuff" My eloquent and powerful rebrand of the 15 minute city.

You can’t make this up. US knowingly hired illegal workers from Kenya to process Afrikaner “refugees”. Are they really this arrogant or just stupid? And what is up with the beef against South Africa?

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.

An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth

No blood for oil

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Honest question: has anyone ever felt threatened by Venezuela… like, ever?

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along

He sounds nice. /s

The Trump sycophants and spinmasters can twist the jobs numbers all they want to fool people, but here is one simple number they can’t change: the US unemployment rate is now the highest it’s been in 4 years.

These jerks.

Jane Austen used 'however' at the beginning of a sentence, and so can you.

A group of protesters from interfaith groups arrived Tuesday in the predawn hours outside the federal facility at 630 Sansome Street in San Francisco where immigrants arriving for immigration court have been summarily swept into detention facilities since May. buff.ly/v8y0Xoq

Today you are allowed to do nothing more than curl up with one or more #JaneAusten novels, write elegant and insightful letters, or go for long walks in the countryside. Today, we are all allowed to just be Jane. #JASNA (Photo from JASNA Greater New York, courtesy @devoney.bsky.social )

You can be optimistic about climate the way that you are optimistic about a hurricane: by knowing what coming, by having a plan, by helping those most vulnerable.

El Niño and La Niña are little children of our former calm climate. What is coming next is El hombre and La mujer The big grownup weather is about to hit.

Just a friendly reminder to surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, theatre, bakery, bookstore, and café.

“We have serious problems to solve, and we need serious people to solve them. And whatever your particular problem is, I promise you Bob Rumson is not the least bit interested in solving it. He is interested in two things … making you afraid of it, and telling you who's to blame for it.“

This entire weekend

PSA: you can support a permanent and free Palestinian state, stand for lasting peace for Gaza, and still be shattered for the lives lost this morning at Bondi. No community should live in fear because of their religion or culture or heritage. Peace means peace.

In a season shadowed by tragedy, we light Hanukkah candles as a reminder that even the smallest flame pushes back the darkness. May these nights bring comfort to those grieving, resilience to those shaken, and hope to us all. Chag Sameach.

A lifetime of "thoughts & prayers" have done JACK-SQUAT to reduce or eliminate gun violence. We need to do MORE. It is the GUNS. #SadButTRUE 💔

“Dutch people cycle an average of 2.6km each per day. If this pattern was replicated worldwide, annual carbon emissions would drop by 686 million tonnes. This mammoth figure exceeds the entire carbon footprint of most countries, including the UK, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Australia.” @euronews.com

#ResistanceUnited Repubs voted against extending the ACA tax credits because it would increase the deficit by $30 billion a year. But the Trump "administration" has blown up the deficit by $167 billion, and they always find ways to cut taxes for the wealthy. Red states will be hit hardest.

The new UN Global Environment Outlook report, produced by more than 200 researchers, finds that “food and fossil fuel production is causing $5 billion of environmental damage an hour” and implores rapid global systemic transformation to avoid societal collapse. By @dpcarrington.bsky.social

Today’s vote is just one more data point showing the American people that Republicans are inexplicably hostile to their own constituents having high-quality health care.

I learn so much from the awesome scientists on here, but sometimes I wish I didn’t.

Eighty Percent of U.S. Wetlands at Risk: Why WOTUS Matters to You “In November 2025, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released a proposed revision to the Clean Water Act (CWA) definition of “waters of the United States,” (WOTUS)”

Ah, yes, the old “let us give you a handout so you’ll forget we completely trashed your livelihood with our inane trade policies and we don’t have real plan to fix it but we’ll run the midterms on this” scheme. www.npr.org/2025/12/08/n...

When global temperatures shot up by ~6°C about 56 million years ago, plants were unable to thrive The reduced ability of vegetation & soils to capture & store carbon may have kept temperatures elevated for >100,000 years Today Earth is warming ~10 times faster than it did 56 million years ago

Utrecht has made space not just for bikes, but for trees. Trees are prioritized, given space, and maintained by the municipality, not just in parks, but along every road that is developed. A resilient city prepares for the future on a warming planet.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.
