Orange County communities and businesses have a lot to lose, including a thriving coastal economy, if the Trump admin opens the CA coast to offshore drilling.
voiceofoc.org/2026/03/bixb...
The Trump administration did not receive a single bid for its offer of new offshore oil and gas exploration opportunities in Alaska’s Cook Inlet, dealing a blow to President Trump’s ‘drill, baby drill,’ agenda.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Why are we (CA & other blue states) subsidizing the country only to have our federal program funds cut on a partisan basis. Time to deduct it from “the rent”

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Chart by Neil Kaye showing the lengthening and shortening of daylight hours in southern Britain each week through the year. Each bar represents how much daylight is gained or lost each week. The line is roughly a sine curve (head blown emoji), with the fastest daylight gains in Feb, March and April, and the fastest losses in Aug, Sep and October.
A quick reminder of what #BigFebruary is about…
Thanks to the magic of the cosmos, we start gaining daylight much faster in Feb than in Jan. Over 20 mins a week - setting us up for Spring.
This chart is by @neilrkaye.bsky.social and is one of my all time favourites.
Nevermind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college:

Historically @noaa.gov was a ocean and coastal science and management agency, but under this admin they have sadly turned into an ocean exploitation agency.

The media should cover sport the way they cover the state murder of civilians:
‘Jannik Sinner appeared to win the French Open yesterday after what supporters say was a comeback from being two sets down.’
A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Scientists were frustrated by a piece in the Guardian earlier this week that seemed to call into question the science on microplastics in the body.
I wrote about why researchers are certain microplastics are in the human body -- and what we still don't know:
