Musk’s Starlink is the dominant satellite operator on the planet. And its dominance is growing, heading toward ISP dominance, extending into phone service & playing a critical role in global conflicts. No one person should have this much power. It’s untenable & government needs to act to change it.

The Trump administration has dismissed the scientists behind the U.S. climate report. Now scientific societies are stepping in to finish the job—because the climate crisis doesn’t pause for politics. Science will not be silenced. apnews.com/article/clim... #ClimateScience #StandUpForScience

Well, it's official. We just received notice that all authors on the Sixth National Climate Assessment have just been released from their roles. The NCA is a vital, Congressionally mandated resource for our nation as we prepare for the impacts of climate change. This is a huge loss.

More than 1 in 7 U.S. adults has chronic kidney disease. New research from Colorado highlights how climate change may be worsening this health crisis, especially for farmworkers out in the dry heat. 🩺

Claims by the Trump administration that marine protected areas are a heavy-handed restriction on the U.S. fishing industry do not hold water. Science shows these refuges for sea life help local economies and allow fish populations to thrive By @whysharksmatter.bsky.social

Field techs, data-crunchers, researchers, fire techs fired: “Losing people in these roles is like firing all primary care doctors and leaving only EMTs… As many people know from emergency room bills, preventing emergencies is less costly than dealing with the damage later.“ #MTFire #USFS #MTNews

it's a hard and sad time in science / higher ed in the US right now. on the other hand, lots of PhDs are looking for work, so I wanted to share— I'm hiring a postdoc! it's a two-year position at UCSC to do (preferably Bayesian) modeling of marine ecosystems: recruit.ucsc.edu/JPF01892

When home heating is less affordable, more people die each winter. That's what our analysis found for a period when LIHEAP was in place. Without LIHEAP, the effect would presumably much larger. Ungated copy of the study here: bit.ly/2JrJfxR

This is cool. The Guardian recreated a searchable climate future risk tool (wildfire, extreme heat, drought, hurricane, and coastal flood) for the US that was developed by FEMA but deleted by the Trump administration’s ‘climate’ purge.

Only 55% of metro Atlantans recognize climate change is caused by humans, according to new estimates from @yaleclimatecomm.bsky.social @mason4c.bsky.social. Primary care providers are trying to depolarize the issue and break through misinformation one clinic visit at a time, writes Alex Music.
