I think everybody who wasn’t explicitly a Dodgers fan was rooting with you. And there were so many things that could easily have gone the other way but simply didn’t. But congratulations on a great run.

New England Says Goodbye to Coal as Merrimack Station Powers Down - Inside Climate News After decades of operation, Merrimack Station’s closure marks the region’s final exit from coal—and the start of a new chapter in renewable energy development.

Progress.

Happy that you brought them good luck.

Good luck!

On June 24, I began my Election Night speech by quoting Mandela: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” That's the spirit of this campaign, and our city.

This is "Until It’s Done,” a new series about New Yorkers who refused to accept that a worthy goal was impossible.

YouTube video by Johnny Clegg - Topic The Revolution Will Eat Its Children

The title is based on a quote from a Swiss journalist covering the French Revolution. France in the 1790s, Zimbabwe over the last 40 years, and America now have very different contexts. But this song has been stuck in my brain since Charlie Kirk's killer was identified.

The storm formerly known as Erin is still a potent low and almost across the Atlantic.

I've heard about this. It's worth a trip?

The IEA’s 2025 outlook makes it clear: clean energy is eating fossil fuels’ lunch. ⚡ Renewables, grids, storage & electrification now draw double the cash of oil, gas & coal—despite IEA’s erratic underestimates for over a decade. The age of electricity isn’t coming, it’s here. 🌍 #EnergyTransition

Why Glacial Lake Outbursts like the One in Alaska May Happen More Often Meltwater from a glacial lake outburst is flooding Juneau, Alaska. Such events are likely to happen more often as climate change destabilizes ice and glacial lakes fill with more meltwater

The good news, of course, is that floods like this will stop once the glaciers disappear entirely.

Ford’s Theater was a fairly new building when Lincoln visited it, so they’re about a century apart. But yes, they do look very similar.

OK,so a murder DID happen here. But it was a while ago.

Challenge: post your last photo taken in DC to show what a hell-hole it is.

And the brainy people can cast fireball.

Even Physicists Don't Agree on What Quantum Mechanics Says about Reality A survey of more than 1,000 physicists finds deep disagreements in what quantum theories mean in the real world

My father went from a BS in physics to a PhD in philosophy because questions like this one interested him. I think that, for a while at least, he thought he would live long enough to see this question answered. I don't think I will live that long. But the question is still worth asking.

Vatican strikes solar farm deal to become first carbon neutral state A controversial radio site north of Rome is set to become a solar farm as the Vatican pushes its green transition.

He Was a Meteorologist for 22 Years—Now He’s Battling Political Storms in Washington, D.C. Representative Eric Sorensen of Illinois shares how his meteorology roots drive his fight to protect climate science and push back against political interference.

Why you might not know that 2024 was America's safest year since the 1960s An overwhelming majority of Americans, 64 percent, believe that crime increased across the country in 2024, according to a Gallup survey conducted late last year.

1. This week, the FBI released its comprehensive crime report for 2024, which revealed that both VIOLENT CRIME and PROPERTY CRIME reached their LOWEST LEVELS SINCE THE 1960s

This a massive story. But you might not have heard about it, even if you follow the news closely.

Here's why.

How the DOE and EPA used and misused my research Elevating contrarian views while burying the actual science

Because why should the authors of a government report understand what they cite?

Turkey sets new record of 50.5 degrees as Europe swelters – DW – 07/27/2025 Turkey is hit by a record high temperature of 50.5 degrees as southeastern Europe reels under a heat wave and battles wildfires.

It’s hot enough to cook a turkey in Turkey.

Was this something that would have normally been held at GISS? If yes, please thank the AMNH for everybody. (Actually, please thank them regardless!)

Boys surpass girls in maths in the first year of school A gender gap in mathematical ability arises shortly after children begin school — irrespective of the type of school they attend and their socio-economic background.

So basically the standardized tests show no difference before school starts, and then differences start almost immediately.

Has renewable energy reduced electricity prices? As I discuss over at The Climate Brink, empirical evidence over the past 24 years in the US points to yes: www.theclimatebrink....

Here is the change in non-hydro utility scale renewables and electricity prices for each state.
