I'm devastated and heartbroken. Staff at the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) got the ax. Most likely means the Sixth National Climate Assessment (NCA6) is also cooked. USGCRP was the glue across the Federal family on all things climate - reducing duplication and making efficiencies.

Do not despair. This is not the time to retreat or become complacent or terrified. We will get through this. We will support one another achieving a more justice-oriented world. Solidarity, care, collectivity is how to move forward. The world is what we make it.

I get the stock market is bad but the equivalent has already happened to foreign aid, research funding, and public health. Everyone didn't freak out because there isn't some ticker on the news measuring the number of cancer researchers and Ebola prevention experts being fired.

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

"nothing could have prepared us for the breadth or intensity of the assault on climate action that Trump has unleashed during his first months back in office." I know it's hard to keep Trump's horrors straight, but in the fullness of history, this is likely to be seen as the worst.

What people in every part of higher education need to understand is that Republicans now want to do to universities what they’ve tried to do to labor unions: erase them from the institutional landscape. The question is how much you want to collaborate in your own destruction.

As someone with personal experience with chronic illness I can tell you - one thing we know for sure is that de-funding COVID will not make it go away. This is of course the case with… climate change, cancer, and a myriad of other things de-funded in the past 2 months.

Rising global temperatures can influence the timing of events, such as when crops are ready to plant and harvest and when flowers and trees bloom. One example is the timing of the peak cherry tree blossom in Kyoto, Japan, where records stretch back to the ninth century — that’s over 1200 years.
