It’s been the word of the day in Western New York long enough!

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week.

He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention.

We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

Wow many were dead wrong on their projections for how quickly the cost of solar would decline.

The actual progress is off the charts.

Overall consumption is still skyrocketing though, and a minimalist culture is equally needed.

But there's lessons here.

Recipients of a U.S. Climate Science Fellowship Are Put on Unpaid Leave

Under Trump, NOAA ran the most recent competition for their highly prestigious postdoc program in climate and global change — but funded no one, wasting huge amounts of applicant and reviewer time.

It gets a lot worse. Now current postdocs in the program are going unpaid.

I’m planning to attend, but probably virtually.

Here's a doc I put together with links to other climate-related content from the New York State Education Department (NYSED): docs.google.com/document/d/1...

NY's June Regents Exam in Earth and Space Sciences was the first NY Earth science exam based on NY's adaptation of NGSS. It was posted to the NYSED website yesterday. I thought folks would find it interesting. There's a lot of climate and energy content.

Are there any folks in science journalism space in NY, or the US in general who would be interested in doing a story on the Paleontological Research Institution? They are one of the 10 largest fossil museums in the US and desperately need ~1-2million dollars by December to pay off their mortgage 🧪

Very cool, if also very depressing.

Survey: Only four per cent of Canadians give schools an ‘A’ on climate education – students deserve better A strong majority of Canadians believe climate change should be a priority in education, but teachers and students lack the necessary tools and support to effectively incorporate it into classrooms.

Exactly the same.
They even use the same justifications and excuses.

Thanks to the good folks at NOAA and especially to those who have been so dedicated to helping us all better understand climate and climate change.

Why Climate Protesters Try Outrageous Stunts To Change Conversations Research shows that protestors who perform attention-grabbing stunts create public awareness for their cause.
