New Science Advances paper on Plio-Pleistocene northern African hydroclimate! Tl;dr the wet summer monsoon = summer insolation & the dry winter monsoon = global ice volume

Paper here (www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...), Brown press release here (www.brown.edu/news/2025-06...)
Fundamentally unchanged northwestern African rainfall regimes across the Plio-Pleistocene transition
The northern African summer monsoon was unaffected by global cooling at the end of the Pliocene 3 million years ago.

'By incorporating observational constraints, we conclude that the AMOC will experience limited weakening of about 3–6 Sv (about 18–43%) by the end of this century, regardless of emissions scenario.' www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Observational constraints imply limited future Atlantic meridional overturning circulation weakening - Nature Geoscience
Observational constraints, along with a better understanding of climate model behaviour, suggest that the projected weakening of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation in the twenty-first cen...

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university.

University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

US weather and climate scientists are gearing up to run a continuous FIVE-day livestream at month's end in protest of the Trump administration's research cuts.

It will consist of speakers giving 25-min talks on their science. There's an open call to join.
