Here is the latest combined forecast across all 14 models, compared to past strong El Nino events. It shows just how extreme and unprecedented this event is forecast to be:

This is one reason why Republican Senators won’t #RestoreACATaxCredits. We “can’t afford it” because of the OPTIONAL Iran war, tax cuts for billionaires, and oopsie tariff refunds that no voter ever voted for. Why do we pay taxes again? #MomSky

nytimes.comU.S. Debt Hits $40 Trillion as America’s Borrowing Binge ContinuesPresident Trump’s promises to restore fiscal order and reduce the amount of America’s debt burden have been hampered by spending on the Iran war, tax cuts and tariff refunds.

Some positive energy news amidst all the shameful fossil fuel drilling activity in the US.

Non-hydro renewables (primarily wind and solar) are on track to pass gas this year as the second largest source of electricity generation globally. The rapid over the past 10 years is pretty remarkable! Hat tip to Michael Liebreich for the plot idea.

A dangerous wind shift (visible on radar imagery) has just occurred in #Spokane, WA, where major wildfire disaster is currently unfolding. Three separate major fires (circled) near or within city limits have already caused major structure loss & chaotic, expanding evacs. #WAwx

The extraordinary wildfire outbreak across Oregon, eastern Washington, and southern British Columbia has become even more alarming amid critical fire weather conditions. Over 500,000 acres have already burned in OR & WA alone, and that number could be >1 million acres by Mon.

Say hell no to Todd Blanche

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

Bravo to these judges, who are traveling around the country to educate the public about the importance of the rule of law!

The #AspenAcresFire, still burning quite actively along southern Colorado Front Range & having destroyed ~200 structures thus far, has become an exceptionally complex & challenging event from a firefighting perspective due to a confluence of climate, weather, & geography. [Thread]

A year ago today was my father’s 92nd birthday. He knew as much about the Sandia Mountains east of Albuquerque as anyone alive, loved his family, cared for my mom through her long Alzheimer’s journey, and was great company til the end. He died last summer and I still miss him so much.

I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office. Why 'treason' means something different in the US?

apple.news/ApXZ5ho7JTuG... This reminds me of Stephen Markley’s book The Deluge, which included extreme flooding in the US and Bangladesh (if memory serves). This water shortage and resulting political unrest would have fit his book perfectly.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Shout out to MoveOn.org! I joined their event this morning to call voters in swing states to urge them to tell their senators to vote no on Russell Vought's confirmation as head of OMB. MoveOn patches them through to their senator's phone line if they agree. 40K people did; glad I participated!

Global Sea Surface Temperatures are far less variable from month-to-month than Surface Air Temperatures & show clear cooling trend over the past year as we transition from El Nino to La Nina (left). It's the longer-term warming trend (right) that we should be focused on. Truth is bad enough!

In the hot tub at the gym today, I met a man who described himself as a Reagan Republican, meaning that he supported democracy and the rule of law. He is very angry about the actions the new administration is taking, and he described how he plans to oppose what it's doing. It was good to hear!

I feel like this is a hostile takeover of the federal government and that the military should intervene on behalf of the American people while they still can.

President Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office to guard against potential “revenge” by Trump. apnews.com/article/bide...
