Hurricane Humberto is now the 44th Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic basin.

This is the 12th Cat 5 in the past ten years, and the 6th since 2022.

Here is a look of #Helene and the Predecessor Rainfall Event, which began setting up around this time a year ago.

I updated this to incorporate the @nws.noaa.gov flash flood warnings and flash flood emergencies.

I recommend checking out the profiles and records of the people that went through this program while you still can:

They are a testament to how a small amount of federal funding can seed a tremendous increase in knowledge and understanding.

You think that vast armed force is going to be used just for immigration?

I doubt it. Watch for ICE duties to expand duties and for ICE to follow the pattern of militarization of police. Also watch it used as secret police against anything anti-ICE.

The energy provisions in the Republicans' One Big Horrible Bill are truly so bad! Who wants this? The country's automakers don't want it. Electric utilities don't want it. Data center developers don't want it. Manufacturers in energy intensive industries don't want it. 🔌💡

"Build as much clean energy as possible as fast as possible" should be our No. 1 national priority in the coming decade. All our national resources should be bent to the task. The president should talk about it every week in a national address. It should be the moon shot X100.

EXTREMELY ANNOYING

The climate movement spent millions of $ over decades focusing on just transition, helping displaced workers, yet climate action still gets broadly criticised as causing 'job losses'

Tech bros pop up saying "I WANT TO DESTROYJOBS ASAP" and get a glowing write-up in the NYT

I'm no expert, but I believe these are primarily agricultural burns.

We at NSF Unidata are pleased to announce that we have now received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for the next year of our five-year award. This allows us to end the current furlough of our staff and resume our operations. buff.ly/GafcZts

How Japan ignored climate critics and built a global natural gas empire

Every six hours, somewhere in the world, an LNG shipment controlled by a Japanese company leaves a port. However, these tankers are only the tip of the iceberg

Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy

ah I see it's "photo of people enjoying sunshine to illustrate mass heatwave deaths" season again.

NO

💯

no problem! let me know if you encounter the issue again so we can investigate.

Hi Jack. The time advancement hasn't changed. It has been 5 min and 1 hr since launch of the Aurora overlay. Can you show me what you are seeing?

Good things will still happen
