The linear extrapolation of the past 15 years and the nonlinear 30-year extrapolation now both put global warming at +1.54°C above 1850-1900.

I've tried and failed a couple times to write a post explaining how serious this would be. NCAR is globally essential to our climate change response. This can't just be replaced. Every scientist in the world will be doing climate research with one hand tied behind their back for at least a decade
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.

Trump's evisceration of US regulatory agencies will hit Canadians hard. Carney's cuts to state capacity are the exact opposite of what he should be doing to strengthen Canada.
We need more -- much more -- regulatory capacity, not less.

Given that the only thing that has ever led to climate progress was the global wave of alarm that rose in the wake of *The Uninhabitable Earth* and the IPCC Special Report of 1.5 C, I think it is irresponsible and counterproductive to downplay how much danger we’re in.

This point is disturbing: Guilbeault "was also deeply troubled by the ease with which the PMO was casting aside its moral obligation to May. What was the Liberals’ word worth?"
Mark Carney seems to have forgotten the first rule of central banking: Your word, your credibility, is all.

Good work by @althiaraj.bsky.social on the inside story of Guilbeault's resignation, from his being frozen out by PMO, given false assurances, and being made to wear the government walking back on pledges he made to Elizabeth May to secure her support. No kidding it was untenable for him to stay.
