CWR Talks to Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf on the Decades Away Breakdown of the Atlantic Current - CWR What is AMOC and why would its collapse catastrophically disrupt the global climate? Hear from the leading expert Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf about this looming climate threat you probably haven't heard of

Here is a new short interview I did about the risk of a major ocean circulation change in the Atlantic. #AMOC
Check it out - e.g. if you are unclear about the difference between the tipping point and the point of shutdown.

Heat map-style graphic showing monthly air temperature rankings in the Arctic at the 925 hPa level for each month from January 1979 to September 2025. There is a long-term warming trend evident in each month. Blue shading is shown for colder months, and red shading is shown for warmer months. A yellow number is shown for each grid box to display the actual temperature ranking. September 2025 was the 7th warmest September on record.

Trump officials shut off funding for climate adaptation centers A third of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Climate Adaptation Science Centers are expected to drastically wind down and possibly close after Sept. 30.

Despite broad political support, one third of the nation's Climate Adaptation Science Centers will wind down in coming days due to lack of funds.

The Northeast, South Central, and Pacific Islands will be left without actionable science on drought, floods, wildfire, sea level rise and other hazards.

The DOE scam climate report tries to deny the obvious observed fact that sea-level rise has been accelerating.

It’s a long predicted physics effect of a warming planet: continental ice melts faster the warmer it gets.

Reiche sägt an Förderung privater Solaranlagen
Solaranlagen boomen. Doch für die Bundesregierung sind Förderung und Einspeisevergütung große Kostenpunkte. Wirtschaftsministerin Reiche denkt deshalb laut über Kürzungen nach.

Wann begreift die Regierung, dass Energieautarkie eine andere Form von Landesverteidigung ist? Weil jedes private Solarpanel uns weniger erpressbar macht von Autokraten aus Amerika und Arabien. Dezentrale Energie ist nationale Sicherheit, liebe Schwarz-Rote Koalition. Und die kostet, wisst ihr ja.

NEW: The US government has collected DNA samples from 133,000+ migrant children and teenagers and uploaded them into CODIS, a national criminal database originally built for convicted sex offenders and violent criminals, according to documents reviewed by WIRED.

Trump’s new ‘gold standard’ rule will destroy American science as we know it | Colette Delawalla The new executive order allows political appointees to undermine research they oppose, paving the way to state-controlled science

Science is the most important long-term investment for humanity.
The US Trump administration is working to control it in order to suppress science it does not like. But history shows: the consequences of state-dictated science can be catastrophic.
