I have now received a formal response from Minister Dabrusin regarding the disbanding of Environment Canada's radar science team. In the interest of full transparency, I'll provide it below without comment in 2 parts. Thanks to everyone who contacted the Minister and your MP about this issue!
Dave Sills 🍁🌪️🎶⚓☮️@davesills.ca · 3mo agoThe letter-writing campaign to restore the radar science team supporting Canada's new radar network has already seen 9500 letters sent. Let’s get to 10000! If you haven't sent yours yet, please consider it. ECCC's new alert colours are nice. But for severe weather warnings, radar is foundational.

Experts have poo-pooed the idea, but the new Google Deepdoodoo seasonal hurricane forecast model, trained on poop data from sea turtles, outperforms the traditional models from CSU, NOAA, and TSR. I have the details: yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/04/ai-t...

"Ocean Heat Content Sets Another Record in 2025" | Our (Yuying Pan et al) new article in Advances in Atmospheric Science: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Last year was obviously the warmest on record for the North Pacific Ocean... This graph shows the average for a band across the midlatitudes for every year from 1854-2025 using @noaa.gov ERSSTv5 data.
As we head into a new year, I wanted to share this conversation I had with @ittefaq.bsky.social on the big picture surrounding climate change: Where we are now; how much warming we're on track to see; & why it's so important to be honest about where we're headed.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.
USA TODAY@usatoday.com · 8mo agoExclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
It appears that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has, within the past week, scrubbed a large amount of climate change content from its official website, as well as *removed human-caused warming* from the discussion on its "causes of climate change" page.
Ever wonder how scientists can say climate change made an extreme weather event more likely or more intense? That’s attribution science at work. It compares today’s world to one without the extra heat we’ve added through heat-trapping carbon pollution. 📺Learn more⤵️ youtu.be/A2vUBBkEOjA

Remarkable amount of fire on the ground in Pacific NW and British Columbia right now (black dots/splotches on map)--especially for Sep, which is pretty late in season here. Not coincidentally, today was the hottest September day on record for most of B.C. and interior WA/ID.
I published a video focused on my perspective on the 1.5°C temperature target and what it will mean to exceed it. This monologue is an honest (and unvarnished) scientifically-informed personal reflection, so I hope you'll give it a listen. #ClimateChange www.youtube.com/watc...
Thoughts from a climate scientist on what it means to exceed the 1.5°C global warming target
In 2015, global nations pledged to take actions to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F) above the pre-industrial baseline temperature in what has come to be known as the "Paris Agreement." In 2023 and 2024, global temperatures approached or even exceeded that warming target on a temporary basis--an
