Wild to see #94L and #Humberto juxtaposed like this: much more Pacific-ish than Atlantic-ish. Big forecast headaches loom, possibly for days to come, with #94L sandwiched between #Humberto + a cutoff low in the SE US. Unusual setups are tough for models. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/whil...

In the mountains of North Carolina, communities are doing what Trump’s government will not: helping undocumented survivors of Helene rebuild.

Dos sistemas en el Atlántico noroccidental —la recién formada Tormenta Tropical Humberto y la perturbación en desarrollo Invest 94L— podrían convertirse ambos en huracanes en los próximos días: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/gabr...

An exceedingly complex forecast lies ahead for #Humberto and #94L. Of the latter, the Nat'l Hurricane Center warns that "the chances of wind, rainfall, and storm surge impacts for a portion of the southeast U.S. coast are increasing.” Full scoop here: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/gabr...

Leading climate scientists organize against Trump administration report full of “flaws” and “false and misleading information.”

Telltale sign of this odd Atlantic season: The #Azores are on track to experience a hurricane, #Gabrielle, before anyplace in North or Central America or the Caribbean. Meanwhile, Hong Kong and points west are bracing for #Ragasa, still at Cat 4 strength. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/hurr...

Clean energy jobs grew three times faster than the rest of the economy last year. But growth slowed markedly compared to the previous year as clean tech firms braced for a shift in U.S. energy policy.

In Minneapolis, Minnesota, the pollen season is now a month longer than it was in 1970. 🤧

Trump thinks canceling greenhouse gas reporting means no one will know how much CO2 is being emitted. But Trump is wrong. Thanks to satellites and aircraft, anyone can see who is polluting, and how much. Here are the 5 largest CO2 plumes in the US. No surprise: All are coal plants 🏭

There's plenty bubbling in the Atlantic right now—a major hurricane, plus two disturbances worth keeping an eye on—while Super Typhoon Ragasi heads toward the far southern China coast. My latest with @drjeffmasters.bsky.social: yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/hurr...

I would just like to point out that this is a spectacular choice of cover image for this story.

We're halfway between the IPCC 6th and 7th Assessment Reports, and an international team of 61 scientists updated some of the key metrics used in the reports. As I wrote for @climateconnections.bsky.social, the findings were pretty bleak, but there are some glimmers of hope 🧵 (1/6)

Similar to last year, there's an unusual peak-season quiet in the Atlantic this hurricane season. But that quiet will likely end this week due to the expected development of Invest 92L in the central tropical Atlantic. The latest from @bhensonweather.bsky.social and I:

🔥 The world’s top climate scientists have found that global warming is accelerating. Oceans are rising faster than ever, and the 1.5°C target is slipping away, but there’s still a narrow path forward. #ClimateAction

"Surveys repeatedly find that 75% of Americans cannot name a living scientist. But, when they’re invisible, bad actors can portray scientists as nefarious characters in white lab coats, lurking in the shadows, plotting terrible things. That’s the narrative out there right now." - Michael E. Mann

"[Disinformation is] organized, it’s deliberate, it’s politically motivated, it’s financially motivated as well. And it’s a killing force." - @michaelemann.bsky.social yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/its-... @climateconnections.bsky.social

El sargazo siempre ha sido parte de la vida marítima tanto en el Caribe como en el Golfo de México, pero en estos últimos años ha creado un grave problema para las economías de muchos países. Ahora, España está sufriendo una crisis también, pero causado por otro tipo de alga.

See also the experts cited in our Sept 8 post below at @climateconnections.bsky.social. Among other things, midlatitude ocean and air temps have been incredibly warm, which distorts the normal global circulation and complicates hurricane/typhoon formation. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/anot...

Good perspective here on the Atlantic. Note that only 1 of the 6 named Atlantic storms thus far has packed winds above 60 mph (that one was Cat 5 Erin). But I wouldn't be surprised if the Atlantic has a back-loaded season. Beware the ides of October! www.scientificamerican.com/article/atla...

Today is Sep 10—the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season—and right now there are no named tropical cyclones anywhere on Earth. 🤔🤔🤔 Total accumulated cyclone energy for 2025 is at 59% of the NH's year-to-date average. Lots to study here! tropical.atmos.colostate.edu/Realtime/

Time to go into storm mode over at Eye on the Storm on Yale Climate Connections! @bhensonweather.bsky.social and I figure to be making daily posts for the next few weeks as Invest 91L saunters westward toward the Lesser Antilles Islands, with a long-term threat to the U.S. still to be determined.

Smooth move, Buffalo... 🚲🚲🚲

Of all the excellent reasons to get an EV, detaching myself from the Big Oil oligarchy is my favorite. Becoming independent from their greed and injustice feels so good and so right.

Republicans are eliminating tax credits for EVs, rooftop solar, heat pumps, energy-efficient windows, and more. Here’s how to take advantage of the credits while you still can:

La Tormenta Tropical Lorena representa una amenaza de lluvias intensas para México, mientras que el Huracán Kiko podría pasar cerca de Hawái entre el 10 y el 11 de septiembre.

@bhensonweather.bsky.social and I summarize three tropical systems to watch today: one in the eastern Atlantic, Tropical Storm Lorena, which is expected to bring heavy rains to Baja Mexico, and Hurricane Kiko, which may pass close to Hawaii Sep. 10-11. yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/09/eyei...
