Well worth watching this interview from January of UEA's Ben Santer by @rtmcswee.carbonbrief.org for @carbonbrief.org. Heartfelt and moving, while also informative about Ben's views on climate action and climate science in the current geopolitical circumstances. www.carbonbrief.org/prof-ben-san...

Great video by our @tamuatmo.bsky.social social media team youtube.com/shorts/d2IUw...

According to this @washingtonpost.com survey, the ongoing destruction of our public health system and the scientific basis of our society is not even on the radar of ordinary Americans. We asked 2,300 Americans about the best and worst things Trump has done. wapo.st/4qXs4DL

I know that AI is controversial in some corners, but I think this is a great description of how many scientists (particularly younger ones) are using it. Post by @hausfath.bsky.social (RIP his mentions). www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-ai-aug...

Several locations in Rhode Island appear to have exceeded the previous state 24-hour snowfall record, and Providence shattered their prior daily snowfall record by more than a foot. I tried to make an initial guess at why snowfall amounts may have been so insane: tinyurl.com/4296dshx

🤖 SFGiants 🚨 TRIPLE PLAY! TRIPLE PLAY! TRIPLE PLAY! 🚨

I’m critical of people arguing that climate change makes cold events more frequent/severe, but it seems reasonable that climate change would increase snowfall in these winter events. [warmer temps leads to more water vapor] I’ll have to check the peer-reviewed literature to see there’s support.

The real global warming was the snowstorms we suffered along the way

Iowa folks - this is a CAN’T MISS. From my pal Channing: Chris Jones at my law firm this Sunday at 3 PM. Trump just acted to protect glyphosate, ensuring we will face decades of cancer and other harms. We gotta start winning this water-and-health fight. Chris is the answer.

It is shocking how quickly one of the biggest benefits of U.S. higher education, the ability to recruit the best students from around the world, is eroding.

My interest in energy is mostly about how to design & build these new structures to resist EQ & high wind. But I gotta say the broader topic of our clean energy future is fascinating on its own, and for anyone like me who's trying to learn the basics, this is an excellent and accessible primer.

Quite a good article by @desmog.com about the DOE Climate Working Group report. Well done, @sharonkelly.bsky.social. www.desmog.com/2026/02/13/t...

It has warmed my hearth to see we have reached over 200 signatures here :) Thank you to everyone who has put their name down. As this is picking up steam, together with other initiatives, and with some UCAR representatives, we're trying to make sure this reaches the general public, congress & NSF.

My talk at U of Miami/RSMAS is now online: “Climate change, renewables, and the cost of electricity”. Thanks again to @davenolan305.bsky.social for hosting my visit and to all of the people who spent time talking to me. There’s a lot of great science going on there. youtu.be/Y728uqOnnrE?...

The visitors office at Univ. Of Miami Rosenatiel School. It’s a tough life.

I wonder if CO² is exponentially worse than CO₂

@climatebook.bsky.social once called climate change, “humanity’s final exam” and it turns out we’re failing the non-graded survey the instructor gives on the first day of class to make sure students know how to add some numbers together.

Not really a thread guy but an interesting thing about the mountains around Cortina and throughout the Italian Alps is that they’re fundamentally shaped by global warming, only it happened 234 million years ago

Five worst words in the English language: “We use WorkDay for reimbursements“

Everyone has a right to live in a healthy environment. But indifferent governments are failing to protect us while greedy CEOs knowingly pollute our environment and poison us. It won’t stop until we elect leaders who will fight for our civil rights— not trample on them.

Today we’re launching Open Climate Risk, a fully open option for U.S. building-level climate risk data. It’s unique because it allows you to see not only risk scores, starting with wildfire, but also the complete underlying dataset, methods, and codebase. carbonplan.org/research/cli...

we have a faculty email list at TAMU and the amount of shade on there is just a sight to behold. really enjoyable. here's a snippet from an email, which I completely agree with.

South Fork Wind had a capacity factor of 52% last month - on par w/ NY state's most efficient gas plants And Vineyard Wind had a 75% capacity factor during Winter Storm Fern The data doesn't lie. #OffshoreWind works - especially during cold winter months www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...

I have maintained for a while that the reason everything around the world (funded by petro-states and carbon oligarchs) is happening rn is because the most powerful industry to ever exist on the face of the Earth has no future. And so it must wipe the future out of our imaginations.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Bluesky is the new science Twitter, new study by @whysharksmatter.bsky.social and Julia Wester concludes! "Results show that for every reported professional benefit that scientists once gained from Twitter, scientists can now gain that benefit more effectively on Bluesky than on Twitter."

incredibly powerful video, thank you @wclivestream.bsky.social

Inject this straight into my veins. Great article, @dennispillion.bsky.social

Fantastic talking to @jswatz.bsky.social and his smart U of Texas students

Great piece out today in Physics Today on historical origins, contemporary relevance, & fundamental irreplaceability of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which remains at imminent risk of dismantling for partisan political reasons.

Trump EPA Abandons Climate Working Group Report in Endangerment Finding Repeal www.desmog.com/2026/02/13/t...

I also have often made this observation stated below: the arguments of the deniers of human-caused climate change are so poor, so easily refuted, and intended only for gullible lay people, that they basically prove how strong and compelling the evidence for human-caused climate change really is.

Can’t share IG here & Tiktok censored their lyrics, so I am sharing it like this. But @subradioband.bsky.social is amazing. I love this so much.

As expected, in the final rule, EPA's Endangerment Finding repeal backs down entirely from challenging the science, choosing to focus on statutory arguments regarding EPA's authority. Good work, everyone who contributed to the @andrewdessler.com review!

I've been getting a lot of requests from reporters for comments about the removal of the DOE Climate Working Group report from the EPA's repeal of the endangerment finding. Here are some comments:

“They would have been obliterated in court,” @andrewdessler.com told me. "This is the gold standard of climate skepticism and if this is the best they can do, then they’ve proven how robust climate science actually is."
