a video highlighting just how important NCAR is, from a bunch of scientists who use this incredible public resource daily

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

good job brazil

Climate disaster keeps disastering: Satellite monitoring has detected massive plumes of methane pouring from Chevron's Gorgon LNG plant in Western Australia. (This is the one connected to the world’s biggest carbon capture and storage project WHIICH IS ALSO FAILING) www.abc.net.au/news/2026-10...

Relieved @bradlander.bsky.social is safe, hoping the others will be released soon. But even when they are: Palestinians are still being detained, still attacked daily, still blocked from accessing their trees. Every leading candidate in the Israeli elections supports this intolerable status quo.

hot take, but environmental regulations are good actually

from the demons that brought you "stranger listening to short form video at full volume on the subway" now proudly presents "stranger listening to AI slop at full volume on the subway"

Glad folks are appalled by photos of the "phone booth" cage under an awning, but pls understand: This IG report is likely part of a cover-up. Amnesty Int'l interviewed detainees EIGHT MONTHS AGO who said the cage was half this size (couldn't stand up), had no awning, w feet chained to the bottom.

Immigration agent kills man in Biddeford, spurring protests

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

public comments close tomorrow. anyone, anywhere is allowed to comment. the more detail and specificity the better. www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti

a bunch of losers in the office of management and budget are trying to tear apart federal science and research funding in the US. in my professional opinion, this is a very very bad idea.

joy!

someone had their fireworks READY

Walking the last 2 miles of 270 with Syl Foisy and @zentouro.info for @wclivestream.bsky.social! 300 letters in support of science! 7 members of Congress (and more turned away) to greet us! I get to give a speech at the Capitol today!!! Let's gooooooo

The Weather & Climate Livestream is back to remind us all of the *huge* range of services provided by federally funded science! I'll be up far past my bedtime at 12:20am ET on Wed to talk about how extreme heat seasons are changing around the world -- tune in this week and write/call your reps!

🚨 We begin our 50-hour broadcast today at 4pm 🚨 It's a showcase of incredible people and their phenomenal work- a celebration of the scientific community 🧪, defined broadly Use this link to subscribe to our YouTube channel and you'll get notified when we're live: wclivestream.com/watch

btw, regulators confirmed to us this morning that the 19 new turbines (and the 27 already on site) are not part of an air permit granted in March, meaning xAI has more than 1 GW of unpermitted gas power at Colossus 2 right now

🚨 The Weather and Climate Livestream is back, June 1st - 3rd 2026!! We're streaming 50 hours for our future in the face of a new round of proposed budget cuts and attacks on science. Want to speak at the event? wclivestream.com/volunteer/

happy may day, it is always a good time to Do Something

i'd be a lot more excited about going to the moon if the US government wasn't hellbent on destroying all the science done in this country

@davidho.bsky.social is absolutely right. NCAR isn't just a great institution in its own right, but vital for all of us Earth scientists at universities and institutions across the country and around the world. To learn more, watch the video below. Write to NSF_NCAR@nsf.gov today and #SaveNCAR !

Columbia student detained today is a day-in-the-life influencer with 100K followers. Her stories right now go from her studying for a Genetics exam in a nicely edited "ten hour study with me at Columbia" video, to a photo of her knees with the caption "dhs illegally arrested me please help"

just TWO hours left to vote!!

⌛Did you vote? There are still 24 hours left! We’re glad to be participating in @projectforawesome.com! Thanks @zentouro.info for the wonderful video featuring UCS's cliamte scientists Angel Fernandez-Bou and @marc-alessi.bsky.social ❤️

just two days left to vote for Union of Concerned Scientists to win some of the FOUR MILLION DOLLARS raised in this year's @projectforawesome.com #P4A2026

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in P4A this year, which surpassed $4 MILLION RAISED! The livestream is over, but there’s still time to donate and vote for the charities you care about. projectforawesome.com

Little shark the way she's cronching. Darcy rocks #P4A2026

🎤Taylor Behnke, Miriam Nielsen, and Darcy the dog will be joining the stream soon! @zentouro.info @taylorbehnke.bsky.social projectforawesome.com/live

it's day 2 of the project for awesome, have you voted for @ucs.org yet?? projectforawesome.com/videos/scien...

Last December, weather and climate scientists sat down with us to tell us why they loved the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and why it benefits us all. Last night, the NSF began dismantling it. Listen to what they have to say, and why it's urgent that we #SaveNCAR wclivestream.com/act

tax payer-funded science in the US is getting shredded and sold for parts www.nsf.gov/news/transit...

It's official. The EPA no longer believes that greenhouse gas emissions threaten public health and welfare. Endangerment finding is repealed.
