Climate change is already costing Colorado. A new report estimates how much costs will rise through 2050. Shorter ski seasons, hotter summers, longer wildfire seasons, increasingly burdened infrastructure and other climate-related impacts could cost Colorado up to $37 billion by 2050.  This is according t...

Colorado has an idea what climate change will be costing the state by mid-century: "Climate trends like deepening drought and extreme heat could wind up costing Colorado up to $37 billon"

NSF has put out a “Dear Colleague Letter” asking how to dismantle NCAR, the premier public atmospheric sciences center in the US. We must reject the premise. As a dedicated center bringing together scientists across disciplines and across the world, NCAR science has saved lives for over 65 years.

What A Snow Drought In The West Means For The Rest Of 2026 States like Utah and Colorado have had abysmal snow totals this winter. It’s not a good sign for a region struggling to maintain its water.

Here’s why: despite recent uptick in snowpack, snowpack near record low.

One major rule anchored U.S. climate policy. The EPA just threw it out The Trump administration rescinded the 2009 “endangerment finding,” ending regulation of greenhouse gases from cars and trucks

The American Geophysical Union unequivocally condemns this reckless and senseless decision.

In a letter Friday to West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey, the Federal Judicial Center said it had "omitted" the climate science chapter from its latest Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence. The removal marks a significant victory for Republican efforts to thwart a raft of climate lawsuits that the fossil fuel industry has warned could cost it billions of dollars. On Friday, the Republican Attorneys General Association congratulated its members on X, writing that the "Federal Judicial Center has announced they are removing ridiculous WOKE climate science from judicial manuals."

Fearing that educated judges might rule on climate cases, Republican Attorneys General successfully bullied the The Federal Judicial Center (the education & research arm of the federal court system) into removing a chapter summarizing climate science from their scientific judicial reference manual.

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...
