If you aren't terrified by this heatwave, you should be

The extreme heat currently being felt in Europe isn’t the new normal – much worse is to come, and we are doing far too little to adapt, says Michael Le Page

The March summary for the Fort Collins weather station that our office maintains is chock-full of eye-popping stats. Highest single-month temperature anomaly in the 130+ year period of record, 8 days warmer than the previous March record, earliest 90° day on record by over a month, and more. #cowx

These are two of my favorite thinkers and people. Can’t wait to listen.

I cannot recommend this conversation between @pkrugman.bsky.social and @volts.wtf enough. Every point was a banger, and DR’s final exhortation that young people go into clean energy rather than finance actually made me tear up a little. So good. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

This is a graph of snowpack above Lake Powell using 104 snow measuring stations. It was 9 inches of water on March 7, now 6 inches. Other dry years shown.There is no historical analog to this.

Colorado has an idea what climate change will be costing the state by mid-century: "Climate trends like deepening drought and extreme heat could wind up costing Colorado up to $37 billon" www.skyhinews.com/news/climate...

Climate change is already costing Colorado. A new report estimates how much costs will rise through 2050.

Shorter ski seasons, hotter summers, longer wildfire seasons, increasingly burdened infrastructure and other climate-related impacts could cost Colorado up to $37 billion by 2050.  This is according t...

NSF has put out a “Dear Colleague Letter” asking how to dismantle NCAR, the premier public atmospheric sciences center in the US. We must reject the premise. As a dedicated center bringing together scientists across disciplines and across the world, NCAR science has saved lives for over 65 years.

What A Snow Drought In The West Means For The Rest Of 2026

States like Utah and Colorado have had abysmal snow totals this winter. It’s not a good sign for a region struggling to maintain its water.

Here’s why: despite recent uptick in snowpack, snowpack near record low.

Federal officials now project that Lake Powell will "most probably" drop below power pool level — meaning Glen Canyon Dam will no longer be able to generate hydropower — before the end of this year: www.landdesk.org/p/the-colora... via @landdesk.bsky.social

🤯🤯🤯 Full-on denial of reality. State capture by the fossil fuel lobby. The US descends into a banana republic. It would almost be funny if the consequences wouldn’t be so dire for billions of humans, if the courts don’t stop this folly soon. www.scientificamerican.com/article/epa-...

One major rule anchored U.S. climate policy. The EPA just threw it out

The Trump administration rescinded the 2009 “endangerment finding,” ending regulation of greenhouse gases from cars and trucks

The American Geophysical Union unequivocally condemns this reckless and senseless decision. AGU is a global community supporting more than half a million advocates and professionals in the Earth and space sciences. fromtheprow.agu.org/agu-denounce...

AGU Denounces Trump Administration’s Repeal of the EPA Endangerment Finding

In 1856, American scientist Eunice Foote made history by publishing the first academic paper demonstrating that carbon dioxide traps heat from the Sun, a discovery that laid the foundation for climate...

Fearing that educated judges might rule on climate cases, Republican Attorneys General successfully bullied the The Federal Judicial Center (the education & research arm of the federal court system) into removing a chapter summarizing climate science from their scientific judicial reference manual.

Attention folks in the weather, climate, disaster, wildfire, and Earth science communities: NSF has just published a new "Dear Colleague" letter inviting feedback (by Mar 13) on the proposal to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). www.nsf.gov/funding/...
