Hi I'm a Bay Area native. I love CA. I was on Twitter, but then deleted the account when someone came along and bought it for $40+ billion. I am mostly concerned with CA #climate #weather #drought and #fire

Happy New Year everyone! We are at the end of our 2025 earthquake year, if we follow the convention that earthquakes are recorded in UTC, and in Zulu time, it is 2026. I thought I would do a little 2025 California earthquake roundup for everyone (1/5)

Storms like these –– where mountain precipitation falls as rain rather than snow –– are becoming increasingly common in a warmer climate.
The aftereffects of flooding in Western Washington has resulted in ski season getting pushed back again because roads are closed and there's not enough snow.

Only my fellow Central Valley dwellers will get the full significance of this pic. It's the moment I had to return to the inversion layer that has been trapping us in the Tule Fog for weeks. We were up in the Sierra Nevada. The sun was wonderful! 60⁰ in Sonora, 45⁰ back home.

Most of the people expected to suffer these temperature-related deaths live in poor countries in Africa and South Asia that are least prepared to cope with the increasing heat from climate change.

For the first time, scientists are tracking the migration of monarch butterflies across much of North America, actively monitoring individual insects on journeys. It could provide crucial insights into the life cycles of hundreds of flying insects at a time when many are in steep decline.
We Can Now Track Individual Monarch Butterflies. It’s a Revelation.
