We do not want, nor can we afford war with Iran (or Venezuela or Greenland or anybody). Please use that money to refund us all our tariff payments and fund the National Center for Atmospheric Research @ncar-ucar.bsky.social and other wonderful scientific endeavors #TrumpTariff

What the National Center for Atmospheric Research means to the atmospheric sciences Born out of a time of great need for the federal government, NCAR plays a role with few analogues.

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

Trump's EPA revokes scientific finding that underpinned US fight against climate change The Environmental Protection Agency has revoked a key scientific finding that supported U.S. regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

He has not made one thing better for US citizens, he’s a completely destructive force kneecapping now the US EPA

Your suspicion was right.

Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations.

He’s betting we forget in two years.

In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

Lava is again flowing from Hawaii's Kilauea ...the gift keeps on giving #Geology

Besotted?

utterly infatuated

Imagine if scientists could figure out how Earth's climate has varied for hundreds of millions of years, build sophisticated computers to project how humans are now radically altering it, and warn the public, only to have greedy corporations & venal politicians ignore them. Criminal. Immoral. Evil.

Pulling climate data offline, canceling research grants, and de-funding scientific institutions doesn't just suppress climate information. It weakens the foundation we rely on to make good decisions of any kind.

In my latest "Tea with Katharine" I share why investment in science is so important!

Hawaii's Kilauea is erupting in time for Christmas!

Protect the National Center for Atmospheric Research Write today and urge your members of Congress to oppose the Trump administration's plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR.) Your message to Congress will help protect NC...

The Union of Concerned Scientists @ucs.org also have a convenient way for speaking up for the National Center for Atmospheric Research, a world leader in Earth systems science secure.ucs.org/a/2025-prote...

Shortsighted federal plans are to dismantle the NCAR in Boulder Colorado. This is a world leading research institute for atmospheric science, climate, meteorology and Earth systems science.

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.

Speak up to our government on behalf of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) #NCAR

And there is plenty more rain forecast for the next week in the North Cascades, the rest of western WA and the PNW #WAwx
@cw3escripps.bsky.social

This has certainly been an historic flooding event

Streamflow on the Skagit River at Mt Vernon WA appears to have peaked at nearly 38ft, well above the threshold for Major Flood stage and has now receded by about 2-3 feet, tho still in Major Flood stage

The Skagit River is now approaching 36ft, well into Major Flood stage and @noaa.gov forecasts over 38ft overnight before lowering #WAwx

The Skagit River at Mt Vernon, WA is at Major Flood stage at over 32feet gage height, more than 18feet higher than it was a week ago #wawx

Temperature didn’t just start going down, tho neither did grocery prices

No to war with Venezuela!

Tule Fog persists in California’s Central Valley as shown by @noaa.gov GOES West imagery and a view coming down the Tejon Pass or Grapevine on I-5 yesterday
