2025: Pretty good (personally, at least) until the whole breaking my ankle thing.

As I watch the London NYE festivities since I won't be awake at midnight here, I'm going to say farewell to social media until 2027 to try and become a better, deeper version of myself. Be good and do good, everyone.

Record fossil fuel emissions in 2025 despite renewables buildout, report says Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion are projected to reach a record 38.1 billion metric tons in 2025, an increase of 1.1% from 2024, according to the 2025 Global Carbon…

Global CO2 from fossil fuels is projected to hit a record 38.1B metric tons in 2025, up 1.1%. Increases in the U.S., India and China, plus a 6.8% jump in aviation, outpace clean energy gains. Researchers warn that staying below 1.5Β°C is no longer plausible.

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

New AMS Statement: Dismantling NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research would weaken U.S. leadership in weather, water, and climate science, putting public safety at risk.

For more than 60 years, NSF NCAR has improved forecasts and early warnings that save lives. More: https://bit.ly/4q6eChn

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly.

Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them.

Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

Air and road travel are safer, hurricanes, thunderstorms, and wildfires are better predicted, students, early career scientists, and teachers are trained, and the public learns more about STEM because of NCAR.

We’ve spent decades preaching STEM and we’re destroying it all in less than a year.

NCAR is a unique & valuable asset - far more than a climate model, or observations, or technology, or training ground, or gathering space. It covers weather, space weather, data, climate, paleo-climate, and everything in-between. It's building is an icon, but it's iconic status goes far beyond that.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Additionally, it appears that all of EPA's previously extensive "indicators of climate change" pages have been scrubbed entirely. The pages no longer exist; there are numerous dead links on the current/live EPA site, and no indication they have been moved to a new URL.

It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.

This is what happens when you make decisions based on numbers in a spreadsheet while ignoring anyone or anything that could provide any context to them.

The season downturn really is my fault. I watched the first half of UCLA from the hospital. Got discharged at halftime. Came home and turned on the game on that cursed 4th down play near the goal line. If I had kept it off, we might have been 11-1.

Insane. Can I take Geology 101 and reject the final exam with "God made the world in 7 days" and get a good grade? Same thing.

If I took a religious studies course on Christianity and submit a citation-free essay ignoring the question, just asserting "Jesus is a false prophet", I'd expect to fail

bums me out kinda bad that all the cool life-saving shit ai was always supposed to do, working through immense amounts of data incredibly fast to tailored ends, has to have a disclaimer slapped on it like "no not the plagiarism machine that urges you to commit suicide" now
