Every time I visit Florida, it reminds me of the episode of the 1967 Spider-Man cartoon where he goes searching for Ponce de Leon and the Fountain of Youth and ends up fighting the Lizard.

All the people I know who are top experts in Central American hydroclimate are extremely cautious to (a) attribute the cause of the 2023 drought or (b) make predictions about future changes in water supplies to the Canal’s watershed.

A proposal: Academic researchers and folks in similar positions, consider writing an op-Ed, or at least a letter to the editor, in your local paper about what these horrific decisions will do to jobs and services in your local community. I train scientists to write op-Ed’s and I can help.

Happy Louis Riel Day! “We have heard whispers from the south, voices that suggest annexation to the United States. But I tell you now, Red River is not for sale. We are a people, not a commodity to be traded between nations." - Letter from Louis Riel to US President Ulysses S. Grant, Oct. 3, 1870.

The California FAIR Plan does not have enough money to weather the impact of the record-breaking Los Angeles wildfires on its own. Instead, it will turn to private insurers for help — triggering a process where insured California homeowners across the state will end up paying part of the bill.

Once upon a time in St. Louis, it rained a TON and everything flooded. "It's a 1,000 year event!" said the news. "Hmm... Is it, though?" asked @ajtclimate.bsky.social. So happy to see our paper is finally out in Journal of Climate. journals.ametsoc.org/configurable...

One of the biggest areas of AI hype right now is the notion that it will hyperaccelerate scientific progress. I understand why people think this — AI is already accelerating scientific _production_. 🧵

NEW: @noaa.gov offices have been asked to search their grants for climate-related keywords, among other executive order-related terms. This could put climate grant-funding in the crosshairs if/once the judicial order holding the funding freeze back is lifted. www.axios.com/2025/02/09/n...

These are the people who monitor and publish Lake Superior's conditions every day. Minnesotans along the North Shore rely on NOAA to know whether or not it’s safe to go out on the water. These agencies and their staff do real work that keeps us safe, it just goes unnoticed - until they’re gone.

"would you please put that in writing" is how you pull off insubordination without actually being insubordinate. Very useful when you are getting sketchy (whatever 'sketchy' might mean) instructions from someone who might not want to take responsibility for it later. signed, a former union steward.
