If there’s a rockstar in climate science , it’s this woman, she’s 2 things you don’t usually associate together climate scientist, and evangelical Christian, she’s stood up to the big boys in the world, and I respect that and they’re having a special event here for her today in Ann Arbor.

Love 🩷this!! #LAVA!!!

Missed Bad Bunny’s halftime show? Want to rewatch? (4x and counting for me). The NFL posted the whole performance on YouTube: on pace for 500k views in the first 30 minutes.

I'm just about to give my third Gresham College lecture - on the atmosphere - and you can watch it live here at 6pm: www.youtube.com/watch?v=43HS... All Gresham College lectures are freely available online (inc an archive of all past lectures) - do take a look!

István Szabó's masterpiece Mephisto is also about how fascism permeates and controls societies once it takes hold and how it warps and corrupts individuals, including people of genius, Szabó explains. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/de...

Quislings they are if they go along with Trump!!!

America is dead to me!!!

I've started a substack newsletter. If you've liked my podcast or media articles, you might like this too. In the short term, mostly about my late uncle, artist Sumner Crane. But eventually, climate, life, politics etc. First post is just saying hi, real content soon. substack.com/home/post/p-...

I was surprised when working on this story about global warming's role in this heat wave to find scientists concerned that our models are underestimating future extreme heat severity, frequency and duration. (1/2)

Fun* trivia for you: A colleague in the House tells me that the "Supporting the Health of Aquatic systems through Research, Knowledge, and Enhanced Dialogue (SHARKED) Act" is the first US bill whose back-ronym was generated using ChatGPT.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

The videos coming out of the Gestapo terror raid in Los Angeles today are absolutely horrifying and really should wake you up to the new reality of American fascism. It’s here it’s coming for us all and unless we fight for one another we will not survive.

#PrideMonth Dr Rebecca Oppenheimer is an astrophysicist & co-discover of the first "brown dwarf." She is also transgender. "When you label someone and treat them differently because of some label, that is inhuman. When you hear and accept that someone has a different sense of who they are...

So happy for my Maine-eDNA colleagues on their Science paper (& *cover*!). I know we’re not supposed to big-up the big 3, but the fact is these early-career researchers still exist in a system where the big 3 matter, so I’m happy for their success. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Great news! I'm told a few moments ago US Institute of Peace Board Chair Amb. George Moose went to the USIP building where he and legal counsel were able to retake possession after the recent court decision. They were accompanied by a small team securing the building and assessing maintenance needs.

Taylor Swift strikes back at the orange toilet rat 🐀 ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you're a meteorologist or climate scientist who has been supported by US federal funding at some point in your career (either now, or as a graduate student or postdoc) and you're available some time between May 28th and June 1st, 2025, sign up to speak! 🌊🧪

DECADES OF FEDERALLY FUNDED RESEARCH 🧪 “But KJ’s treatment — which built on decades of federally funded research — offers a new path for companies to develop personalized treatments without going through years of expensive development and testing.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/h...

Destroy ICE, Destroy Putin, Destroy Republicans 🔥 🩸 🇺🇸

He's so easily bought by criminals...

This is an absolute disaster. If we don't stop this, they will turn NSF into a pawn of the Trump administration. There will be no research on climate, biodiversity, or anything that isn't eugenics or AI or how to more efficiently destroy the planet for profit. This cannot be allowed to happen.

Coming October 21st... "Life After Cars: Freeing Ourselves from the Tyranny of the Automobile." A new book about how cars ruin everything and what we can do to fight back. Pre-order here: www.lifeaftercars.com

Why don’t they just add arsenic instead and remove us of the problem of kids? I mean after all it doesn’t look like the AR 15s are mowing down enough of them!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

THIS IS IMPORTANT. 🚨The time is now!🚨

Reposting.

The funding cuts to scientific research aren’t like little annoyances or something. People are losing their careers, homes, and financial security because Robert F. Kennedy will do literally anything to keep people from realizing what a fraud he is. Anything.

Florida now has 177,00 listings. Highest level on record. Entire Northeast US has 79,000 listings. Lowest level on record. Why are people leaving Florida in large numbers?

In this article @lindenashcroft.bsky.social and I look at the latest WMO report on the climate in 2024. In a nutshell- the climate is moving further away from its pre-industrial state because of our greenhouse gas emissions. We need to get to net zero ASAP theconversation.com/flooding-in-...

In 100 days in office, US President Donald Trump has destabilized eight decades of government support for science. This has included terminating more than 1,000 grants in areas such as climate change, cancer, and HIV prevention. Will US science survive Trump 2.0? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

There's a new conservative study purporting to prove that abortion medication is dangerous. Let's talk about why it's horseshit. To start, it's published by a conservative think tank, not peer-reviewed, and contradicts decades of credible research showing mifepristone is safe

A CYNICAL SHOT AT PUBLIC HEALTH

“The American public needs to understand that you can’t just turn a science switch off and then turn it back on again,” said Rick Spinrad. Great reporting by @sachimulkey.bsky.social on the current dismantling of US scientific research capacity: what it means for now--and for future generations.

Deaths from heart disease down 75%, that’s NIH. Deaths from stroke down 75%, that’s NIH. HIV/AIDS no longer a death sentence, that’s NIH. 99% of FDA approved drugs in the last decade, that’s NIH. Please show this video to anyone who doesn’t understand why the NIH is so important.

Science confirms what most of us already know. I’m not trying to inflame passions on this issue, but as a keen observer of behavior of people in crowds, I don’t think there’s any denying this conclusion. www.facebook.com/share/p/1ArX...

I did say something stupid towards the end, though. It's not that we expected Canada to buy an American over-the-horizon radar, it's that we swooped in to buy it before America could. I was very tired! I regret the error. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...

Your 'doom quote' for today: "The oceans are acidifying at a rate not seen in 300 million years, threatening marine ecosystems that feed billions. If we lose the oceans, we lose the foundation of life on Earth, and no amount of adaptation will save us from that collapse."

Behold the gulf of … Mexico

This is fascinating--and so hard for me to wrap my head around.
