Climate activist Greta Thunberg will try to sail to Gaza tomorrow with other ships aiming to break Israel's seige and bring food to starving kids and adults. She tried the same about a month ago and her ship was bombed in a drone strike.

The thing that would freak me out if I’m Cuomo is that Eric Adams won with just over 400k ranked votes. And Mamdani has ~25,000 volunteers…

With a new wave of covid coming folks must understand what long covid is. People who are vaccinated still get long covid. Vaccines are SO important but they are not a magic bullet. @longcovidjustice.org has great resources on reducing the spread & what to do if you or someone in household get sick

every article about politics in every mainstream publication is flat out lying to you if it does not emphasize that our government has been taken over by freaks and lunatics

I’m on my stoop again with a “don’t vote for Cuomo” message. And Rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social number 1, and rank up to five total candidates. Voters are starting to dial in as this race begins to get real. Let’s go!

Last day at the GISS building (Wed. May 28th). 🥲

Heavily armed paramilitary forces stormed a local San Diego restaurant today, deployed stun grenades against a crowd of onlookers, and kidnapped a handful of kitchen workers.

Relevant already this year and likely to stay relevant through the summer. Humans have made wildfires more frequent and severe by changing the climate, largely via burning fossil fuels, and this has increased many people's risks of asthma, lung disease, bronchitis, pneumonia, and death.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Double whammy: a warmer, more arid atmosphere nonlinearly increases fire risk and, in these boreal forest locations, a shorter snow season also means a longer fire season.

The 100 hour Livestream for Weather and Climate still going. Some great primetime talks for Saturday and I will be the 100th Hour Keynote on Sunday at 3:15 pm EDT followed by the amazing Zach Labe. My title: Weather and Climate Research - The So What's? Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/RlXBjfI...

Homeland Security cops handcuff one of Rep. Nadler's aides in chaotic day at NY fed building https://gothamist.com/news/homeland-security-cops-handcuff-one-of-rep-nadlers-aides-in-chaotic-day-at-ny-fed-building

Exactly as predicted, now that DOGE has scraped all your personal data from government agencies, it's all being given to Peter Thiel's Palantir. It was always going to be Peter, who has dreamed of dictatorship for decades, patiently built his "political project". 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

A lot of the cuts in NSF funding were predictable (and awful), but one thing that stands out is cutting SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) by 57%. This program supports small businesses and entrepreneurs at turning laboratory discoveries into cutting-edge marketable products.

just listened to @drjeffmasters.bsky.social story of flying into Hurricane Hugo on the @wclivestream.bsky.social. I've heard the story before, but WHAT A STORY! coming up next, @scamargo.bsky.social on how climate change will affect hurricanes. go here to watch: wclivestream.com

🛰️🔥🌬️ By tomorrow , #smoke from the Canadian fires should be in the mid-Atlantic area. According to NASA's GEOS model the concentrations are substantial but it looks like they will remain most high above as the forecast of surface PM2.5 (ie concentration) is not too high. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Shame the devil. Always. Let's go Ms Rachel.

The marathon 100-hr weather & climate livestream continues! I've watched many hours of this, and the presentations have been exceptional! On Sat, May 31, I'll be participating via a live "Ask Me Anything" session @ 6:30pm PT/9:30pm ET. See you then! www.youtube.com/@wcl...

One of our top scholars, brilliant communicator and great colleague

"You see it in the carefully planted stories and apparently tossed off quotes." @joshtpm.bsky.social doubts any storyline that frames Elon as "someone who tried to tame government spending but was simply over-matched by 'Washington’s ways' and finally failed." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/dont-...

Joni Ernst is up for re-election next year. In her last election, she got 51.7% of the vote. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

An underappreciated aspect of the new WMO report -- if the temperature predictions are correct, the world will pass 1.5C in as a long-term average (i.e., the _actual_ Paris goal) in 2027. In just two years. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
