Despite broad political support, one third of the nation's Climate Adaptation Science Centers will wind down in coming days due to lack of funds.

The Northeast, South Central, and Pacific Islands will be left without actionable science on drought, floods, wildfire, sea level rise and other hazards.
Trump officials shut off funding for climate adaptation centers
A third of the U.S. Geological Survey’s Climate Adaptation Science Centers are expected to drastically wind down and possibly close after Sept. 30.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents.

But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

✅ We have a new study out this week, which projects changes in cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning days across the Western United States, along with the associated risk of lightning-ignited wildfires (LIW).

+ Summary: news.wsu.edu/press-releas...
Screenshot of Figure 2c in Kalashnikov et al. (2025, Earth's Future), which shows CESM2 ensemble distribution of projected changes in CG lightning and LIW-risk days averaged across ecoprovinces. Horizontal lines within boxplots indicate medians and whiskers represent spread of the 50 ensemble members. Text along the bottom shows ensemble-mean changes, with * indicating that a majority of grid cells have >75% ensemble agreement on the sign of change in that ecoprovince.

They just don't want the American people to see what's happening behind closed doors.

USFS is converting timber sales to 'digital tree marking', which means loggers, not trained federal foresters, get to choose which trees to take. All in the name of increasing timber outputs, w/no understanding or regard for ecological concerns. What could go wrong? 🌍 www.fs.usda.gov/about-agency...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Scientists are pondering potential non-federal alternatives for the National Climate Assessment. AGU/AMS have already announced one initiative -- and there's other historical precedents for major efforts to keep stymied federal science reports alive. My story:

Trump uprooted a major climate effort. Scientists are fighting back.
The future of the National Climate Assessment is uncertain, so researchers are looking to write an alternative version that could serve as a substitute.
