Reposting--there are just over two weeks left to submit your Ocean Sciences Meeting abstracts. If you're a coastal climate scientist, we hope you'll join us in Scotland for a discussion of "Dynamic Coastlines"!

“Who discovered that climate naturally changes and what are they saying now?”

Should always be the follow-up question to this bullshit. We’ve altered the climate ourselves more in the past 20 years than nature has in the past tens of thousands of years

What an embarrassing country

Totally agree. Climate change isn’t causing big subduction earthquakes. But it is raising baseline sea levels along our coasts, and that makes the impacts of those earthquakes and tsunamis worse when they do happen.

The U.S. has led the world in science since the mid-20th century for two reasons: funding & welcoming students and researchers from around the world. The Trump administration is destroying both advantages (1/2)

Navy Set to Unplug Critical Hurricane Satellites this Week Abrupt termination of satellite data by U.S. Department of Defense sends forecasters scrambling for a fix on the brink of the busiest stretch of the hurricane season

If you think I've forgotten about the hurricane satellites, think again. The Navy is permanently unplugging them this week, on the brink of the busiest stretch of the season. There's so much more to this story, and I have the latest scoop. ⬇️

Changes Afoot Across the Atlantic. A Harbinger for Hurricane Activity Ahead? The Atlantic’s been slowly shedding its hostile early season shell. Will it mean a busier start to August?

The Atlantic isn't looking nearly as unfriendly to would-be storms as it was just a few weeks ago. Today, a deep dive into what's driving the big changes and what it could mean for August. If you like inside baseball, you'll like today's newsletter. ⬇️

Writers’ union urges investigation into Paramount move to cancel Colbert show Writers Guild of America requests New York attorney general investigate ‘potential wrongdoing’ after shock cancellation The Writers Guild of America has called on New York state officials to launch an investigation into Paramount following its sudden decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In a strongly worded statement issued on Friday, the Writers Guild of America East and the Writers Guild of America West asked New York state attorney general Letitia James to investigate Paramount over “potential wrongdoing” after the company announced the cancellation of the ‘Late Show’ on Thursday.

If there is "blame" to be assigned here, it's to an administration that has actively been working to dismantle critical and lifesaving science of NOAS/NWS. It's not with NWS workers who issued warnings and alerts throughout the night as a dangerous flood event evolved. www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...

Sporting the red, white, and blue today in the form of my Sadness and Anger earrings from Inside Out. It's about the only sentiment that feels appropriate.

The massive effort to destroy renewable #energy systems with massive taxes in the #biguglybill is, pure and simple, a giveaway to the dying fossil fuel industry that owns so many of our politicians.

A comparison of what we see from geostationary infrared imagery vs. what we get when passive microwave imagery like what SSMIS provides is available.

This is Hurricane Otis in 2023 as it was gearing up for extremely rapid intensification prior to impacting Acapulco as a category 5 storm.

Critical Hurricane Monitoring Data Is Going Offline

Glad I could speak to @rdzombak.bsky.social of @nytimes.com about the implications of losing this critical forecasting data. As hurricanes are becoming more dangerous due to climate change, we need to be strengthening our forecasting toolkits--not dismantling them. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/27/c...

“It will stop all progress” in U.S. forecasting, said James Franklin, who retired in 2017 as chief of the NHC hurricane specialists. Abolishing that research will be “a generational loss" of any progress that would have been made over the next 10 years or more."

News from the NSF Division of Earth Sciences Informational Webinar: If US scientists want to support NSF EAR, they should continue to submit proposals. The number of proposals is an important metric for quantifying need and therefore influencing the budget

Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired Exclusive: Climate.gov, which supports public education on climate science, will soon no longer publish new content

"The website receives hundreds of thousands of visits per month and is one of the most popular sources of information about climate science on the internet."

A good piece from @theguardian.com about the loss of climate.gov.

Had a great time talking to our legislators' offices on Capitol Hill today! Productive and encouraging conversations about supporting science. Thanks @agu.org for organizing!
