Satellite proposals threaten the night sky In the United States, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the agency responsible for authorizing satellite launches and operations…

Last time we were stargazing in CO, we saw so many satellites. At first it was cool, then it was distracting. Now there is a proposal to send up a million more. Not sure that is a good idea for many reasons. Public comment period ends very soon. #NightSky #Satellites

Several years ago, I was reminded to always be ready to explain why I am a Christian. I decided to write it down and share it each year as it grows. My reasons range from science to personal experiences. This year I have seen more of the amazing planet (especially mountains) God created for us.

Yeah, wetland restoration is cool and interesting! I wish that were the case for this picture instead of a destructive fire.

Blackened #wood left behind by a huge wildfire near Jasper, Canada. The scene was pretty in an eerie way and provides an example of the growing impacts of #ClimateChange. #BlueSkyArtShow

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

Very unusual weather in Leadville, a town at 10,152 ft in CO, this Dec. High temps soared above 50F 5 times and they set 6 record daily highs. Even crazier, it rained on Christmas Day! Growing up, it would not even rain on Halloween. The weird weather is due in part to human-caused #ClimateChange.

Lower 48 has its warmest Christmas Day on record by a significant margin Northeast remains the lone holdout and will experience a decent winter storm the next 36 hours.

Thanks to @climatologist49.bsky.social for calculating the stats and generating the maps that tell the incredible story of how Christmas 2025 was - by far - the warmest Christmas on record. Some additional details and rather incredible factoids here: tinyurl.com/amvyycfc

I have really enjoyed checking out and participating in the weekly #BlueSkyArtShow over the past year. Today is #OpenHouse and this picture was taken in Vermont.
