Very interesting. Wonder how the Fathom model stacks up (which is not the same as first street anymore).

Global Warming's Six Americas, Fall 2025 Our Fall 2025 Climate Change in the American Mind survey finds that 25% of Americans are Alarmed about global warming, and that the Alarmed outnumber the Dismissive (11%) by a ratio of more than 2 to 1.

The latest edition of our Six Americas segmentation is out today! We find that the group of people Alarmed about climate change have grown more than any other audience since 2015. Read more:

River Flooding in the US for 2025

Here's daily maximum flood stages for all river gauges in the US, using data from USGS and @noaa.gov

#StateOfFlood #StateOfClimate

A map of the US with each 2025 billion-plus dollar weather and climate disaster geo-located on it. Source: Climate Central

After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.

Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

Insane numbers

Correction. 37 fewer snaps. Still.

True. Myles did it in 130 fewer plays on the field.

Save NCAR from being dismantled today! The Trump Administration has vowed to dissolve the center that provides critical extreme weather and climate data for our nation.

If you are in the US and you would like to send a message to your elected representative about the proposed dissolution of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, @agu.org makes it easy with a template here: agu.quorum.us/campaign/151... #AGU25

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

I worry about this too, even in AZ. We’re one governors election away…

Zillow’s climate risk reversal looks like a setback. It’s really a wake‑up call. When private models sow confusion, it’s a flashing warning sign that Washington needs to fix federal flood maps,

This is the conclusion that I hope we will draw from the Zillow drama... that we need a gold-standard national data source for property-level risk to climate hazards that is transparent, accessible, and legally defensible. Private companies can help build it but the public needs to own it.

After the head coach in waiting gave up nearly 600 yards I think he should take a few more years before retiring 😂

Last year, @michaelfwehner.bsky.social and Jim Kossin made the scientific case for a Cat6 cyclone. This week, Hurricane Melissa became the 6th storm in recorded history to smash through that threshold, with max winds of 216mph. And conditions leading to these storms are on the rise.

Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas | ECHO Lab | Stanford University Studying the impacts of environmental change on human health and well-being

We are excited to announce the release of the Environmental Hazard Adaptation Atlas, an effort to map ongoing and future environmental hazards and their impacts on society, and to provide up to date evidence on what policies and interventions work to reduce impacts: adaptationatlas.org.

Best thing I saw today!

In the first Walker Data workshop on the 2020 Census, I taught how to compare single-year age profiles over time - with tips on plotting all states in parallel!

I'm deeply discounting past workshops in advance of new content in 2026. Check them out!
