Admirable job by what must be @eaterofsun.bsky.social bringing together the ongoing mystery of the surge in absorbed sunlight on Earth. CERES, pattern effects, ECS -- oh my.

The rate at which Earth is absorbing energy is alarming climate scientists

This article provides some good local context on the 10-year fight that the city of Oakland has been waging to prevent the new coal export terminal that the Trump administration has just funded from ever being built.

The president will use the Defense Production Act to provide $75 million for a controversial West Oakland coal export hub, according to reports.

And LAM 2 is a wrap. *So* nice to be working closely w/smart, kind colleagues from around the world toward the common goal of science-informed policy. Lots of work to do between now and July to prepare the first order draft of the physical science report, then to meet again in Arusha in November.

Today is the deadline to respond to NSF's Dear Colleague Letter about restructuring NCAR -- there is still time to submit comments by emailing NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov! www.nsf.gov/funding/info...

CarbonPlan@carbonplan.org · 5mo ago

NCAR is the backbone of Earth system science in the US and a global leader in open climate research. It directly supports our mission. Alongside a wide range of peers in the scientific research community, we submitted a letter to NSF strongly opposing any efforts to dismantle or restructure NCAR.

SF Stand Up For Science, a few of the signs.

It is hard to watch NSF bow so easily to their destroyers. Vannevar Bush formed the NSF out of the US response to the fascists in WWII.

The federal government is setting itself up to be on the wrong end of the biggest lawsuit in history.

We knew the NSF letter about NCAR would come. I think this is an occasion that will require great coordination and strategical thinking. UCAR should respond as a block, coordinating a response across universities (especially in the South, and large public universities that use NCAR data a lot)

I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.

The federal govt may be burning global cooperation on climate science to the ground, but we can and are pushing back where we can. We have more than 70 US scientists currently on IPCC reports, with more to be selected this month for CDR methods report. The USAA-IPCC coalition is up for this fight.

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 7mo ago

The US has some of the world’s best climate scientists (and more of them than anywhere else) & has contributed disproportionately to understanding the climate system. It’s idiotic for the US to withdraw from the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change & the IPCC but it’s on brand for this regime.

So this is how they’ve chosen to mark the one year anniversary of the Los Angeles fires.

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration. NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday. We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.
