The European Geosciences Union expresses its support for its fellow American scientific societies EGU stands behind our sibling American scientific societies, providing our support for them and all their members in the face of recent changes to US scientific policy.

Thanks to EGU for this. As the saying goes, either we hang together, or surely we shall hang separately:

COMMENTARY: Make climate literacy a gen ed requirement across higher ed β€” before it’s too late Students need to learn about climate change in a solutions-focused way.

"Make climate literacy a gen ed requirement across higher ed β€” before it’s too late" - me.
This is my first-ever commentary piece, published today on Ed Source.

Claremont showed up today. There is power in our numbers. It was so good to see so many out there and so many more honking cars passing by.

I would vote for her in a heartbeat. I also think maybe we don’t run women for a while. Americans are clearly not ready.

NOAA Chemical Sciences Laboratory NOAA CSL: Advancing scientific understanding of the chemical and physical processes that affect Earth's atmospheric composition and climate.

CSL is a NOAA lab that has been foundational in atmospheric chemistry & air quality science. They are now losing young scientists that are among the best/brightest of the next generation. This degrades not just CSL but our ability to track pollution & protect health.

I am loving listening to the audiobook version of Ayana’s latest work, What If We Get It Right, which we heard about when she spoke at HMC in 2022. If you aren’t familiar with her, you should be! And she’s a fellow SIO grad!

It’s insane. We live in the upside down.

Layoffs hit federal climate, weather agency NOAA The cuts could affect NOAA's weather forecasts, climate research and other functions.

Predicting the path of tornados, the landfall of hurricanes, or whether it's going to rain next Monday might seem like magic. But it's not. It's the hard work of the people at NOAA who make the impossible possible through science. This is dangerous.
