I would definitely try, cause why not?

Trump-Doge preparing to end the Keeling curve monitoring (that has tracked atmospheric CO2 since 1950). This attack on science would amount to a crime against humanity I think!

Scenes from #coastal #fieldwork this week in a long-term #silviculture trial of #redalder, 32 years old. This trial is part of the @oregonstate.edu hardwood silviculture coop. Moss, rain, alder bark beetles, sapsuckers, first wee skunk cabbage, sun, rainbows...we had a mix of it all!!

Help our friends at the NSF:
Seeking scientists based in California who are willing to attest to direct harm caused by NSF firings.
If you’re in the science world, please RT this to widen the net— a lawsuit on the unjust mass firings needs these comments.
(comment briefly here and I’ll follow up!)

We didn't expect to be running satire written by the former head of the EPA, but this is Trump 2.0 and, well, here we are.

OMG, get a life!!!! True or not (most likely) what is the friggin obsession with Canada and the relatively meagre amount of drugs that cross the border?! Look after your own house: gun violence, rampant racism, lack of access to healthcare, literacy, ... Large and small issues, you got a lot.

This is heartbreaking.

BREAKING: The USDA, under DOGE orders, has accidentally fired staff working to combat bird flu. It’s now trying to rehire them.

It follows the accidental firing of nuclear safety staff last Friday.

And the accidental firing of FAA’s experienced aviation safety staff.

Incompetence will be deadly.

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired. Please amplify. (This helps the lawyers establish standing for bringing legal cases against the administration!)

Many areas are seeing record snowfall this winter, thanks to global warming--or rather, global weirding!

How so?

It hasn't been cold enough for lakes other than Erie to completely ice over yet. As cold air sweeps across them, it's picking up moisture and dumping massive snowfall on the other side.
