Look, we know we’re all about the ocean here 🌊, but it’s Fat Bear Week, and joy matters. 🐻 Besides, bears are just sea lions’ land-cousins who rage-quit breath-holding class and stayed topside. 🦭 #OceanHoptimism #FatBearWeek #QuestionableFacts

“We stopped funding for reef surveys. There’s a rumor, and I don’t know if it’s so or not—that we haven’t seen bleaching in years. That tells you a lot.”

“We stopped funding for ocean acidification monitoring. There’s a rumor, and I don’t know if it’s so or not—that we haven’t seen any changes in ocean chemistry. That tells you a lot.” #Huh #ArgumentFromIgnorance #CherryPicking

“We cut NOAA programs for toxic algal bloom detection and tracking shellfish poisoning cases. There’s a rumor, and I don’t know if it’s so or not—that not a single American has been sickened by toxic shellfish. That tells you a lot.”

Where will You put #KilroyWasHere this week?

With little #rain in the forecast, #fire officials expect more #wildfires this autumn.

"NOAA kept a database of disasters that exceeded $1 billion in damage since 1980, but the agency halted the project amid funding cuts by the Trump administration." Republicans won’t support a bill to restore the database or the data sources it relied on. Are they hiding the costs of climate change?

Re-upping this article on how Hitler used divisive & inflammatory rhetoric to create bogus crises he used to advance his authoritarian agenda. Gift link.

If they'll hand over this info, what other info are they willing to hand over, and to who?

Big win for small island states. 🌊🏝️ Why? Because rising seas won’t erase their ocean borders or sovereignty. This ruling secures their rights, resources, & identity, even when land vanishes. A shield against climate injustice. #ClimateJustice #SIDS #OceanRights #OceanHoptimism

This week Historians At The Movies is talking about a film that is absolutely not relevant at all. Join us on Netflix this Sunday, September 21 at 8pm eastern to watch IDIOCRACY. I want everybody here this weekend so share this broadly. Let’s set new #HATM viewership records. See you soon.

Hey Everyone! Federal service is pretty grim these days. So, I’m hoping we can start doing some targeted “NOAA Pod Love” to different groups of professionals inside NOAA. Let’s start with employees in local Weather Forecast Offices. Working long hours to keep us informed. Let’s send them 💙!!!

Generally, I hate LinkedIn content. But this one, you can go ahead and replace ‘company’ with any appreciate noun (Agency, Institute, Department, country, government, etc) and it will be just as accurate. Full Authoritarianism. @altnoaa.bsky.social @altspaceforce.altgov.info @rebelfema.altgov.info

2024 marked the sixth consecutive year of an erratic hydrological cycle. Continued investment in water resources monitoring and stronger collaboration in data sharing are vital to closing global monitoring gaps. Read the #StateOfWater Report 🔗 https://bit.ly/469OBWU

When your government is destroying your country, the longer it's shut down, the safer you'll be. When the Dems' only power is to de-fund the tyrant, you de-fund the tyrant. Make the GOP crawl.

Does anyone have a list of Nexstar's, Sinclair's, and ABC's advertisers broken down by local station ID? I think such a list would be quite useful to millions of people.

“The current administration is deploying three different strategies to slow-walk the flow of disaster dollars to state and local governments: stalling disbursements, delaying #FEMA ‘s emergency response function, and suspending mitigation funding.” carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

“Trump and his ilk are simply too rich to experience the climate crisis as anything other than a brutally hot day on the golf course. Any attempts to address it are “Green New Scams.”” newrepublic.com/article/1977...

Word is that the California Current Ecosystem Program, which collects long-term time series of pinniped populations on the West Coast, is being zeroed out by the administration. Scientists in this program conduct research on California sea lion lions, Steller sea lions and northern fur seals.

Trump attempts to project a resistance-is-futile aura. trib.al/uRRuy2t His most deranged displays—claims about crowd sizes, dumb imagery of his face attached to cartoonishly steroidal bodies, ineffectual occupation of U.S. cities—have a quality seemingly designed to be overbearing.

This op-ed talks about Louisiana. Consider what the author says & combine it with this latest study about a Parish in Louisiana & the future isn’t bright. these issues aren’t unique to LA. Red states, when voting & interacting with you representatives remember all this. kpel965.com/maps-louisia...

I signed because I cannot sit idly by as our nation's base of government is eroded by power hungry, money hungry sycophants circling around a bloated orange turd waiting their turn to push their way to the top. And because I stand to support federal workers, current and former, being targeted.

Linked is a poster showing past hurricane strikes in CONUS. Red state residents, consider this when voting. Republicans have put you and your community in peril, with no certainly of assistance after disaster strikes in the future. CC: @rebelfema.altgov.info www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/ima...

Residents of coastal states, particularly those in red states, need to understand that the destruction of the federal government is absolutely counter to their own self interests. www.theinvadingsea.com/2025/05/09/n...
