Pope urges news agencies to stand as bulwark against lies, manipulation and post-truths
Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the “ancient art of lying” and manipulation.
“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Climate critics try to discredit IPCC author for linking disasters to global warming
Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.
When a collaborator is targeted because her scientific findings that attribute extreme weather to human-caused climate change is being used (effectively) in climate lawsuits against oil companies, you know times are dark indeed.

🧵 An open letter to the US Open and USTA:
Trump will attend the #USOpen as a guest of ROLEX. Yesterday, Trump declared 'WAR' on Chicago. The USTA has called for media censorship of dissent against Trump today.
I played NCAA tennis many years ago and still play. Today I resign my #USTA membership.

The stadium Trump is in is named after Arthur Ashe, the tennis legend.
What many people today probably don't know is that Ashe was literally arrested in front of the White House in 1992 for protesting the George H.W. Bush administration's treatment of Haitian refugees. www.upi.com/Archives/199...

A completely full Chicago on Michigan Avenue protesting Donald Trump.
Can’t express in words how big this rally in Chicago is. The president’s fascist goon squad is not welcome here.

@rolex.bsky.social If you invite Trump to the US Open you have to live with the consequences. This request by the US Open is shameful. It’s what happens in dictatorships. @espn.com please don’t follow this! You will be complicit in censorship. @rennaestubbs.bsky.social @servedpodcast.bsky.social

I’m extremely honored to have been elected a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society. Of course this wouldn’t have happened without the support of my colleagues at LDEO/Columbia, many collaborators, and the wonderful students and postdocs I had the privilege to work with.

US soft power (and to a lesser extent its hard power) has historically been highly dependent on educating future foreign leaders here. This is an own goal on so many levels.

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite
The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.
The White House has instructed NASA to terminate two major, climate change-focused satellite missions. They've been collecting widely-used data, providing both oil and gas companies and farmers with detailed information about the distribution of carbon dioxide and how it can affect crop health.

What makes a country great in the 21st century is science, and it’s really insane to purposefully destroy its science enterprise.

Scientists warn US will lose a generation of talent because of Trump cuts
Political interference and chaotic cuts to staff, programs and grants at the National Science Foundation are producing ‘devastating consequences’
The foundation of science and engineering in America is being eroded, badly.
This does NOT save us money, and it certainly doesn't make us “great again”. It hands the leadership of 21st century to China, on a silver platter.

An error message reads: Safari can't find the server "nca2023.globalchange.gov"
BREAKING: A source tells me that the Trump administration has shut down public access to every single National Climate Assessment, the Congressionally-mandated quadrennial report assessing how climate change is affecting the U.S.
This is what you get when you try to access them online

The Trump-Induced Crisis in U.S. Science
Both science and universities in the US are in the process of being devastated by our current president and his administration. I felt compelled to use my little platform to say something about this. So instead of my uncle, I'm talking about this instead, this week on the podcast. bit.ly/3Ta2FIE
