I just received notice that the Advisory Council for Climate Adaptation Science for the Department of the Interior has been eliminated. It was an honor to serve alongside other experts to advance science-informed management of natural and cultural resources in the face of climate change. 1/ - ThreadSky

Thank you. What an embarrassment our country is

Jump in a private sector or an country where your knowledge are recognized

So sorry for you -and for the world. Thank you for your devotion to the climate science.

Thanks for serving in this valuable role, Meade. Despite all of this, your contributions to the field continue to be invaluable.

Thanks, Robert. Right back at you.

So sad. Your Council's expertise and feedback is invaluable.

mbr-too.bsky.social•3 days ago

Unconscionable. My sympathies. Be brave.
There are legal hero's I pray will soon be fighting back on your behalf!

America spirals toward death and drags the world with it

it’s the politics that is important, the science was sufficiently settled long…

before Syukuro Manabe began celebrating his 90th birthdays

and if the price of a few eggs is political……. guess what $2 a gallon aviation grade kerosene is….

politically. in a tragedy of the commons. since the 80’s.

The termination was in response to the EO on “Commencing the Reduction of the Federal Bureaucracy."

Federal advisory committees help ensure the best available science is used in government decision-making. Dismantling of FACs is part of the ongoing attack on science and the well-being of Americans.

meadekrosby.bsky.social•3 days ago

To be clear: these are volunteer roles. Unlike so many vital federal workers, I didn't lose my job - just the opportunity to serve our country alongside thousands of other experts on FACs across federal agencies.

I hope you get a position back or continue to work in this field. I've been working independently for a while now on a plan to take this silicon bubble shield to the next level. Imagine if the bubbles were functionalized like silicon wafers in 3d. A dynamic shield.

Thx for your service as a volunteer. Someday science, scientists, and other experts will once again be valued in this Country. I just hope that day isn't too far off.

Thanks for your service Meade. Such a ridiculous waste. Are there any efforts to create some parallel groups while the Feds step back?

meadekrosby.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thanks, Doug. Maybe not for this, specifically, but I've been glad to see other cancelled efforts proceed sans federal support (e.g., the National Nature Assessment).

alisabokulich.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am so sorry to hear this Meade (and it is so maddening, even if not unexpected). Thank you for all of your service & critical work on this advisory council!

meadekrosby.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thanks, Alisa. And yeah, it's totally maddening.

thingi.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sorry to hear that. Everyone in the fight to save the planet deserves great respect. Don't give up, you will be needed for the future. 🙏🙏
