NSF seems to have stopped making new awards last week. There have been no new awards from any directorate since Weds, June 3. Even with the slow pace of new awards this year, there's been a consistent trickle. Something stopped the flow. grant-witness.us/funding_curv... #NSF 🧪

🌊🧪I am honored to be the 2026 recipient of the Selby Fellowship, awarded by the Australian Academy of Science. Looking forward to speaking to (& with!) the public about climate change, sea level rise & coral reefs, drawing upon my field work in AU & around the world science.org.au/news-events/...

Here’s mine: not really sure how to interpret it though.

Not sure how I feel about this. Top movie of the month I turned 10.

Worth repeating: In 2025, California met 67% or more of its energy needs with clean energy on 90% of days. What state wouldn’t want these bragging rights?

‘The biggest transformation in a century’: how California remade itself as a clean energy powerhouse

The Golden State’s clean energy use hit new highs in 2025. As the Trump administration abandons US climate initiatives, can California fill the void?

Some personal news: This week I was awarded the Geological Society of America Public Service award for all my work communicating climate science to the public. I received this beautiful award (they know their audience, geologists love rocks!)

This is great news - Congratulations to Ángel! Also great to see not one, but TWO UW-Madison people in this year's MacArthur Class of Fellows. (Sébastien Phillipe in Nuclear Engineering being the other one).

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

EPA tells some scientists to stop publishing studies, employees say

🚨🚨 If I could just summarize 1 sentence from the new National Academy of Sciences study on climate, boldface, flashing red, it would be: "the evidence for current and future harm to human health and welfare created by human-caused GHGs is beyond scientific dispute." BEYOND SCIENTIFIC DISPUTE 🚨🚨

apparently the DOE Climate Working Group has registered this website: ClimateWorkingGroup.com. Here it is, full of information just as interesting and relevant as the report itself.

"The Environmental Defense Fund and the Union of Concerned Scientists have sued DOE over [the group's] formation, claiming the agency violated the Federal Advisory Committee Act in setting up the group." Reporting by @scottpwaldman.bsky.social subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

Facing legal challenges, the department dissolved the group whose members wrote a report critical of mainstream climate science.

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
