Exxon’s new greenwashing ploy
The oil giant claims it can eliminate more than 90 percent of emissions from gas-powered AI facilities. Critics say that’s nonsense.

Not only was yesterday's Arctic sea-ice extent a record low for the day, yesterday's extent beat every year prior to 2024 by over half a million square kilometers.
The Arctic currently has a streak of 21 straight days of record low sea-ice extent.

The current administration is taking steps to systematically destroy American scientific capability. Earlier this week, NSF was forced from their headquarters. Now another premier climate science institute, NCAR will be dismantled. NASA GISS and Princeton GFDL have already been hobbled or shut. 🧪
It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

Four key Earth systems are failing, and experts fear a global domino effect
Four Earth systems that keep our planet stable are failing, according to a new analysis of real world records. The study focuses on the Greenland Ice Sheet, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, the Amazon rainforest, and the South American monsoon. Together, these systems help set rainfall, sea level, and heat movement across continents. A slip
