The new Congressional NASA budget does look way better, but we need to acknowledge that even if NASA "gets its budget back," it will not undo the massive amount of damage done across the country. It won't bring back the many scientists and engineers who've lost their jobs and had to move on!

ICE murdering people of any citizenship status should be a very hard line in the sand for absolutely every single one of us. And at this point, I think they’ve done it seven or eight times if you’re waiting for a tipping point, the tipping point was the first time this happened.

Every time something like this happens, I am reminded due process matters even in a flawed and unequal justice system. Law-enforcement officers are not the justice system. And part of their job is to deal with the public. It’s striking, how many of these people lead with cowardice and blood thirst.

The fear that *still exists* of GISAID is VERY REAL. Even today, respected, serious long-time scientists are scared to do anything that may be viewed as 'unloyal' to GISAID, for fear they, their work, and/or their departments are cut off.
Does that sound like how science should work? Not to me.

The ESM forcing files for #CMIP7 #ScenarioMIP are now up on the Earth System Grid for the two advanced-priority scenarios High (H) and Very Low (VL). CMIP7 H is significantly lower emissions than CMIP6's SSP585 - and VL has more radical near-term decarbonisation than anything we had in CMIP6.
