After the US admin cancelled the $B Climate + Weather Disaster dataset, @climatecentral.org hired the scientists who ran it and set it back up.
Now the 2025 numbers are in: it's 3rd highest year on record and highest year w/o land-falling hurricanes.

If you’re scared of a Honda Pilot driving less than 5 miles an hour, with its wheels pointing away from you, you should not be working in law-enforcement…
You shouldn’t have a gun. You shouldn’t have a badge. You should find a new line of work.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Forrest Smith was forced to step down last month as the sole employee at the National Park Service responsible for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells at national parks across the U.S. He wasn't replaced. Now, the wells are at risk of spewing planet-warming gases and contaminating groundwater.

My friend @katharinehayhoe.com is 1 of top climate scientists in the world. She knows climate changes naturally too. Geez. BTW, grass grows naturally but when we fertilize the lawn, it grows differently. Trees fall naturally in the forest. That doesn't make a chainsaw a hoax. It

Here is a brief thread of how this came to be and how NOAA can still do good things (even while wearing pajamas).

In short, we need more Archaeologists again. The First Lego League squads just keep rolling in. Spread the word among Archaeologists!
I run @skypeascientist.bsky.social which matches scientists w/classrooms, libraries, etc for Q&As.
We match First Lego League teams too. This tends to wipe out one category of scientist bc so many teams sign up for the same category (this year, archaeologists). We're almost out of archaeologists.
