Scientists slam Trump administration climate report as a ‘farce’ full of misinformation Experts say the report being used to justify the mass rollback of climate regulations has many claims based on long-debunked research

Speaking of, did you know WA state just released its most accurate tsunami risk assessment to date? It concluded that a Cascadia Subduction Zone tsunami could cause 50,000–65,000+ casualties within the first hour. That's JUST from the tsunami.

Troubling scenes from an Arctic in full-tilt crisis The heat that hit Svalbard in February was so intense that scientists could dig into the ground with spoons, "like it was soft ice cream."

The island is warming six to seven times faster than the rest of the planet, making even winters freakishly hot, at least by Arctic standards.

Northern California food banks expect lines to grow even longer, after Congress approved a $186 billion cut to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in early July, the largest cut in the food stamp program’s history.

Cannot think of a fate much worse than that.

@ellecordova.bsky.social is brilliant.

Brilliant!

Today marks a milestone for CAL FIRE’s aviation program, recognizing the delivery of two additional S-70i FIREHAWK helicopters, bringing our fleet to 16.

These S-70i helicopters are built to fight fire fast:
💧 1,000-gal tank
🌙 Night ops
🚨 Rescue hoist
👥 9-person crew

With 16 Fire Hawk helicopters now in operation at @calfire.bsky.social, California continues to grow the largest aerial civilian firefighting fleet in the world.

With the Trump Administration defunding federal firefighting efforts, we're continuing to step up to protect Californians.

While working people are struggling to scrape by, CEOs give themselves massive bonuses - and big corporations write off CEO bonuses from their taxes!

Middle class taxpayers should not be subsidizing CEO bonuses. I am cosponsoring a bill to end this crazy practice.

’We dodged a bullet’: How the tsunami played out across the Pacific The powerful 8.8 earthquake in Russia sent tsunami waves to California and Hawaii, causing flooding and damage but avoiding major destruction.

Tweet from @WhiteHouse showing a Donald Trump post on Truth Social: "2Q GDP JUST OUT: 3%, WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED! 'Too Late' MUST NOW LOWER THE RATE. No Inflation! Let people buy, and refinance, their homes!"

Donald Trump bragging about "BETTER THAN EXPECTED" results after spending months wrecking our economy is like an F student bragging about getting a D-.

The Trump Administration's half-baked tariffs are destroying supply chains and stabbing American families in the back.

The 29 July 2025, Mw 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake is the largest earthquake to occur since the 2011 Mw 9.1 Tohoku, Japan earthquake, and it is tied for the 6th largest quake ever recorded.

NOAA’s National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program’s (NTHMP), historically funded at only $6M/year, funds the majority of tsunami risk reduction work at the state/territory level in the US. At this time we still don’t know if the program has been funded for FY25. Prognosis is grim.

This California city saw state's tsunami waves. Here's how it fared A fishing community in far Northern California saw waves as high as eight feet Wednesday morning as the tsunami coincided with high tide.

The #TsunamiWarning remains in effect for #CapeMendocino to #CA - #OR border, just as #TsunamiAdvisory remains in effect for the remainder of #CA’s coastal areas.

Dangerous currents may persist for hours. Stay away from the #California coast until told otherwise.

The story I would tell if I were a journalist is: It is federal investment in research, hazard monitoring, warning systems, public education, public media, and emergency management that has made the response of the past several hours possible. All of that is being put at risk by the Trump admin.

Now is a good time to call your members of Congress & tell them the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program (under NOAA) needs to be funded. Without it, communities will face extreme funding cuts, have their ability to prepare for events like this one (and much worse) deeply affected.

Watch the seismic waves from the magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia sweep beneath seismic stations in North America.

By the time the waves reached North America, they are far too small to be felt by people, but can still be detected by seismic instruments. 🧪

📢 Attention: A #Tsunami Advisory has been issued due to an 8.7 earthquake in Kamchatka, Russia. This means dangerous currents are expected to impact #SanFrancisco beaches. Exercise caution, and avoid the shoreline for your safety. 🌊

Follow @sf-emergency.sf.gov for more information and updates

San Francisco's public safety agencies are working together to evaluate whether the evacuation of shoreline areas is necessary, and will send out additional alerts as soon as possible. For guidance and the tsunami hazard map, visit sf.gov/tsunami.

A Tsunami Advisory means strong, dangerous currents are expected to impact San Francisco beaches, harbor and marina docks, and finger piers in shoreline areas. Dangerous currents are expected to begin at 12:40am tonight (7/30) and may last for many hours.
