Climate change is driving up peak summer temperatures across the country. Las Vegas broke temperature records last summer. Now, the region is fighting the heat with a simple solution: more trees. via @knpr.org

@fieseler.bsky.social I would have been so happy to help you, too!
I have been stonewalled by NOAA in recent weeks in my pursuit to obtain information for my reporting.
All my interview requests have been declined and I have not been able to access NOAA events.
Email responses like this are common. It’s tragic.

This is just wild. Every day there is a new terrible shock regarding NOAA’s work. Now this! I don’t understand the reason for the deliberate destruction of reports like this, as well as programs, entire offices, and careers, that have helped Americans and saved lives. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

This wildfire is a couple of miles from my in-laws’ house in NJ. They haven’t evacuated yet. I noticed the coverage highlighted the powerful @NOAA GOES-19 satellite, which is helping officials monitor the fire from space. www.cbsnews.com/amp/newyork/...

A week ago today, I was wrongfully fired along with hundreds of others by @noaa.gov. NOAA provides life-saving forecasts, critical climate data, and tools that protect lives, communities, and economies. The staff who remain need our support now more than ever. #SaveNOAA @savenoaa.bsky.social

I see the words, thank you, but we need a little less talk and a lot more rock and roll.
An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government.
DOGE is not a real government agency.
DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions.
DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law.
DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.
