Last October, ProPublica and @documented.net published secret recordings of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought discussing plans to eviscerate entire agencies and decimate the morale of federal workers if Trump won a second term. "We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected," he said.

Trump wants to bring back coal—but coal is already on its way out, and for good reason. It’s outdated, dangerous, and deadly: more people have died in US coal mines than all the people from the US who died in Vietnam, the Gulf War, and the Iraq war combined.

A new CDC report shows that pedestrian deaths fell across the rich world 2013-2022 -- but not in the USA. Americans were 50% more likely to die walking in 2022 than they would have been in 2013. By 2022, the US was more deadly for pedestrians than all other countries studied.

I worry that the focus on NOAA's weather predicting value is ignoring the millions of other ways NOAA researchers enrich communities and local economies. There are no oysters without NOAA. There are no blue crabs without NOAA. NOAA trains teachers. NOAA is the lifeblood of coastal communities.

In the next few days, I will be sharing some of our work that I am most proud of from my time at NOAA/GFDL. But I would also like a little normalcy today on my feed, so here's my go-to sea ice data viz update. #Arctic sea ice extent still remains the lowest on record for the date (JAXA). Not good

I spoke with a hurricane modeler who was just fired from the branch of NOAA that keeps weather models running. He got a form letter like hundreds of others telling him he was losing his job in an hour. This bodes very poorly for American forecasting. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

Thanks for identifying the cost that we all pay to have weather and warnings. With the way this is going, it’s easy to see that in a few years we may all be asked to pay $20+/month to subscribe to such essential services. Expensive because a for profit enterprise, and we all are poorer for it.

One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.
