Scientists have been publishing climate models since ~1970. A good way to evaluate their skill is to compare what they expected to happen in the years after the model was published to observed climate changes. It turns out most models were pretty spot-on:

Unfortunately, federally funded climate adaptation science and services are being cut well ahead of the FY26 budget. We've been doing our best to speak up for what would be lost if the Climate Adaptation Science Centers are eliminated.

What do these scenes have in common? You own this land, every tree, rock, ridge and stream. These are lands managed by the Federal Government for our benefit. The insidious, corrupt Republicans want to steal our land and give it to oil, gas, mining and real estate interests. We cannot allow this.

For #FireScarFriday is a sample from WA state. A unique remnant with approx 12 scars! I added in red lines so you can see where the scars are. This piece was sawed off the top of a stump that was cut long ago. I love how the scars and pith were preserved but not much else haha! 🌲🔥❤️

AFE beat me to the post! Excited to share this paper. We lived through these massive wildfires in 2014 and 2015 and can now share some lessons from them, including areas that have started to reburn.

In 1995, divers near the Ryukyu Islands off Japan spotted these elaborate mandala-like art in the sand of the ocean's floor. They were elaborate 2 meter wide sculptures with fluting, shell ornaments placed at ridges, sand sorted by granularity, both consistent in design & unique. (📷: BBC Earth)

Something I think about a lot: We will never be able to prevent wildfires. Sorry, we just won't. Humans on the whole have dumb and sometimes malicious tendencies. It's well past time to accept this reality, from coast to coast, no matter how "at-risk" your community is.

Logging isn't a simple solution for wildfire risk. Clear-cutting can dry out soil and vegetation, potentially increasing fire risk short-term. Managing forests well requires gathering data on how these forests are changing

Declaring it National Parks week while simultaneously removing the NPS ability to manage and maintain those National Parks comes across rather hollow.

You can’t burn if conditions don’t allow, but maybe we should check conditions more often. “…prescribed burning should occur throughout the year. Fire personnel should be planning beyond seasons… and considering month-by-month weather conditions.”

“They’re proposing we’re going to go toe-to-toe with these fires. So instead of more thinning and prescribed burning, we’re going to try to be suppression-centric. That’s going to go back to the 1930s ‘10 a.m. policy.’”
