We have very unfortunate news to share today... 😢 I've been an author for this report since 2020, and we just celebrated our 20th anniversary edition last year.

Yeah I mean that’s what you’d expect from the fascist regime. The USA is going to really have trouble in future now no matter what happens. China is going to be uncatchable in so many areas as Trump demolishes the United States. Which is probably good for the rest of the world to be honest.

I am so sorry Zack. I wish there were some adults in the room who would look up. 😢 Not for the first time lately, I am reminded of this quote: "When ignorance is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent."~Issac Asmiov

It is truly devastating - the Arctic Report Card has been one of my favorite scientific endeavors. For two decades, it has documented conditions across the Arctic system, bringing together physical & social sciences with real-world observations & consistent updates. It’s not a climate change report.

Hi Zack, I'm a climate reporter for The Hill. Would you be interested in sharing more about this? If so, feel free to shoot me a note at rfrazin@thehill.com or on Signal at rachelF.70 Thanks in advance!

So depressing. And the following was the very next post I saw in my feed - we're heading down a bad path and the people in charge are making it worse: bsky.app/profile/reut...

Almost three-quarters of England is now in drought, the British government said, highlighting the worsening impact of prolonged dry weather on agriculture, public water supplies and wildlife. reut.rs/4wMUDaA

Is the research still happening? (Meaning: is it just the report that has been halted, or all of the research that goes into it?)

No surprise here as the climate change denier in Chief Trump is ending another program that could help save our planet. Trump idiot moron. Trump criminal President. What a pathethic a$$hle!
