As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding

The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

Reject overbroad IODA obscenity act, protect free speech and LGBTQ+ rights

Text SIGN PQPNNP to 50409 — The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA) from Senator Mike Lee represents a severe threat to free speech and LGBTQ+ rights in the United States. By redefining obscenity in an overly broad manner, this legislation could criminalize any depiction or discussion of sexual activity, undermining artistic expression and access to vital information about sexuality and gender. Furthermore, the IODA aligns disturbingly with the discriminatory goals outlined in the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 policy blueprint, which explicitly seeks to outlaw "the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology" under the guise of combating pornography. Enabling such blatant transphobia through legislation is utterly unacceptable. This misguided bill poses a grave danger to the LGBTQ+ community as well as anyone seeking to engage in legal free expression regarding human sexuality. Congress must firmly reject the IODA and any effort to enshrine bigotry into law under false pretenses. Protecting marginalized groups and upholding fundamental rights must take precedence over the discriminatory agenda fueling this damaging proposal.

Have you ever looked at a weather map online? Or seen a nice visualization of weather forecast model output? If so, NSF Unidata almost certainly made that possible in one way or another. Modern meteorological education would not be possible without the data, tools, and resources they provide.

NSF Unidata@unidata.bsky.social · last yr.

Due to the current gap in funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program is pausing most operations effective 12 May 2025. Nearly all staff will be furloughed until funds from our existing NSF grant become available. For more information, see buff.ly/d2TC1Oy

It’s true - our ability to protect the drinking water supply from the Great Lakes has been severely compromised. Trump/DOGE randomly fired people who helped keep the drinking water safe. They slowed our funding to a trickle, harming our ability to deploy buoys for water quality.

The Trump administration’s slashing of budgets and staff have Great Lakes scientists concerned that they have lost the ability to protect the public from toxic algal blooms, which can kill animals and...

Introducing the "tree ring plot": a new way to visualize global surface temperatures. Each ring is a year, and each colored cell represents a day in global average temperatures (compared to a 1850-1900 preindustrial baseline).

Remember: NOAA is not its social media accounts. Do not let the takeover of NOAA communications take away your support of the real NOAA and the very real scientists behind it. The administration would want nothing more than for us to stop supporting our science agencies 🧪

NBC News@nbcnews.com · last yr.

Some workers at NOAA who were fired in February, rehired in March and then fired for a second time in April, say the agency has missed some salary payments during that period, and failed to have their health insurance plans restored or provide basic paperwork.

NOAA workers report 'intentional chaos' during personnel cuts

Some of the former government employees who were fired, rehired and fired again said they're owed pay and their health plans have been frozen.

Just submitted my first big NSF proposal! 🥳 (I have mostly submitted proposals in the UK up to this point - UKRI, NERC) (And yes, it’s a strange moment to have submitted an NSF proposal…trying to focus on the process and not the outcome) Anyway, I hope we get to do the work🤞

NWS just announced a major reduction in upper-air (weather balloon) observations due to staffing shortages. Omaha and Rapid City losing balloon launches altogether, with launches cut in half at 6 other sites. Losing this many launches could affect severe weather forecasting and computer models.

Weather balloon cuts at Omaha NE and Rapid City SDBalloon launches suspended to once per day at six locations in the middle of the U.S.
