"C.R.M.L.S.’s real objection to including the data on Zillow is apparently less scientific than financial: Climate-risk scores might lower listing prices, which affect what real estate agents earn. But suppressing verified risk information is dangerous."

NEW: Fortunately, the U.S. escaped the 2025 hurricane season mostly unscathed.

But a major storm will almost certainly hit in the next few years. When it does, the lethal effects of Trump's FEMA assault will be fully exposed.

Holy crap this is good.

You’re wondering WTpF? Why is Trump doing this insane stuff?

Here’s the big picture.

It’s a terrible gamble with the American economy. And with a livable planet for us and our descendants. Madness.

“In the end, government officials have granted only one researcher access to that kind of specificity within the data.

That person is Elizabeth Fussell, who was an assistant professor at Tulane University from 2001 to 2007.”

And now is at @BrownUniv. Kudos, Beth!

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up.

Today in history, 1969: The heavily polluted Cuyahoga River catches fire due to trapped debris and oil slicks, likely ignited by a passing train. It was not unusual, extinguished quickly and caused little damage, but it became a symbol for the Clean Water movement. /1
