Please enjoy my last ever post at Climate.gov/ENSO Blog. This afternoon I was fired by the Trump Administration 15 days before my 2yr probationary period ended on March 13. I have worked at NOAA since 2010, and I'm so incredibly proud of the work I did. If anyone wants a quote, let me know.

So he’s going to go after his pet peeves, but no mention of the critical issues the wider scientific community worries about that harm child development like endocrine disruptors, neurotoxins and pesticides. Who cares about his spiritual side? For so many politicians, it’s meaningless.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

It is really short-sighted and stupid to be gutting public health and outbreak surveillance capacity right now: - H5N1 nationwide - uncontrolled - TB in Kansas - largest U.S outbreak - Measles in Texas - Expanding - Seasonal flu - Worst in 15 years - Pertussis - outbreaks in multiple states.

Great insights into the dismantling of science and health agencies. These attacks on science and knowledge by revolutionary governments never end well. Don’t they know that, or do they think it won’t impact them?

A Friday morning reminder — the federal funding freeze continues. The Trump administration is still withholding energy and climate funds mandated by Congress in the IRA and IIJA and due to recipients under legally binding contracts. Here's the latest: www.canarymedia.com/articles/pol... #energysky

Good article by @megwilcox.bsky.social for Trellis on how a number of U.S. companies are working to reduce #plastics in homes. "Modern homes are so full of plastic — from foam insulation to luxury vinyl tiles to paints — that when they burn they can become toxic traps that sicken their owners."

Gonna be hard to “win the clean race the America First way” when Trump wants to kill offshore wind, end EV tax credits, roll back the IRA and drill baby drill. Young conservatives will learn the hard way the limits of their influence.

What’s happening to offshore wind under Trump? I ran the numbers. 9 projects are untouched by exec order, enough to power 5 million homes on schedule. Also: ✅ NJ and RI governors react ✅ We made a map of projects and their status under Trump My story👇 www.canarymedia.com/articles/off...
