Fake news has become a powerful tool in the hands of the right-wing in the European Parliament. Since early 2024 two myths have been spread about EU funding of NGOs. They have no substance, but still lay the ground for debate and proposals Read our article! corporateeurope.org/en/2025/03/f...

Trump’s all-out assault on the VA is a complete betrayal of our Veterans. Mark my word. This is Republicans' plan all along— Gut the VA, then push to privatize the Department so they can fund tax cuts for billionaires. And our heroes will pay the price. apnews.com/article/vete...

Snowdrops outside Paris

A huge and unnecessary loss for weather and climate science. My time working with NOAA GFDL scientists 2004-2007 jump started my career. Spending summer 2014 at NOAA Boulder led to ideas we’re still working on.

paris proves it: when we stop designing cities for cars and start designing them for people, the air clears, the streets come alive, and life gets better. less smog, more green. less noise, more joy. fewer fumes, more kids playing safely. this isn't some hippy dream, it's a choice.

More bad climate news... ping @alfnorkko.bsky.social "Our findings have great relevance to the observed increase in the duration of marine heatwaves and the associated heightened thermal threats to marine organisms. Our study also suggests that the ocean’s ability to sequester heat is weakening."

Human-driven ocean warming is increasingly overwhelming El Niño, La Niña, and other natural climate patterns.

The rapid degradation of Earth’s ecosystems has significant implications for economic production. To assess those implications, in this new paper the authors build a macroeconomic model that includes natural capital and ecosystem dynamics and is subjected to uncertainty.

Rising insurance premiums can be an important driver of climate adaptation (or at least climate resilience). Insurance subsidies and regulations that shield consumers and businesses from the incentives these costs produce could be bad for climate preparedness. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/o...
