After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

🌡️La France a connu du 8 au 18 août 2025 sa 51e vague de chaleur depuis 1947.

Son intensité maximale est comparable à celle des épisodes d’août 2023, juillet 2022 ou juillet-août 2018.

Sur le Sud-Ouest les niveaux de chaleur ont parfois dépassé ceux de la canicule de 2003.

🇺🇸 Sans la photo cela aurait été presque impossible d’y croire.

Hier, après avoir téléphoné à Poutine, Trump a invité Zelensky et les leaders européens dans sa petite « boutique » à souvenirs pour leurs offrir du merch MAGA.

Dont la casquette pour qu’il reste 4 ans de plus au pouvoir.

Three charts based on #CopernicusClimate data you shouldn’t miss this month:
📈 Europe saw lowest spring river flow since records began in 1992 – #C3S/CEMS
📈 Surface air temperature anomalies across parts of the Northern Hemisphere – CopernicusEU
📈 Marine heatwave in North Atlantic Ocean – C3S

Here is a vertical cross-section view of how temperatures are changing in the atmosphere during the month of June. The x-axis shows each latitude band. The y-axis is representing height in the atmosphere, starting from the near-surface at the bottom & reaching up toward the stratosphere. Data: ERA5.
Graphic showing a vertical cross-section of zonal mean temperature trends globally for June from 1979 through 2024. There is a long-term warming trend in the troposphere and cooling in the stratosphere. Red shading is shown for warming trends, and blue shading is shown for cooling trends.

Limiter le réchauffement climatique à 1,5 °C est désormais impossible
Selon un collectif de scientifiques, l’objectif fixé par l’accord de Paris en 2015 ne pourra pas être atteint en raison de l’incapacité des pays à diminuer les émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data.

"As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported."

nsidc.org/data/user-re...
Effective May 5, 2025, NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will decommission its snow and ice data products from the Coasts, Oceans, and Geophysics Science Division (COGS). As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported. This includes Sea Ice Index, Snow Data Assimilation System (SNODAS) Data Products, Glacier Photograph Collection, U.S. National Ice Center Arctic Sea Ice Charts and Climatologies in Gridded Format Gridded Monthly Sea Ice Extent and Concentration, 1850 Onward World Glacier Inventory. If you rely on these products in your work, research, education, or planning, we invite you to share your story at nsidc@nsidc.org. Your input can help us demonstrate the importance of these data sets and advocate for future support.
