On thing King Trump can do that will please everyone is to wave his magic wand and get rid of daylight savings time.

NOAA is the foundation of modern weather & climate info. “Project 2025 suggests that the NWS should eliminate its public-facing forecasts,“fully commercialize its forecasting operation “The preponderance of its climate-change research should be disbanded” theatlantic.com/science/archiv…


Many news reports talk about the humongous amount of campaign money being spent. Where does the lion's share of these millions of dollars end up? TV news, for one, is always complaining about how broke they are while they cut back on their services.

Brown University’s own @RBrulle gets a great review of his book on the fossil fuel industry political operation to block climate safety legislation. Telling the climate story without that is indeed like “the Star Wars story without Darth Vader”! climatelaundry.substack.com/p/star-wars-wi…

The Dodgers broke the color barrier and brought baseball to the West Coast. Now they should make Big Oil a pariah. My latest @latimes column is super personal. I’m calling on Dodgers owner Mark Walter to end the team’s sponsorship deal with 76 gasoline: latimes.com/environment/ne…

Column: It's time for the Dodgers to stop taking Big Oil money

The team's owner, Mark Walter, should end a sponsorship deal with Phillips 66, owner of the 76 gas station chain.


Grreat news!

Always worth remembering that pumping more oil is the GOP goal. It’s possible it even trumps Trump

.@SpeakerJohnson & @HouseGOP want to undo @POTUS’ pause on new LNG export approvals just to keep Big Oil’s profits rolling in, no matter the expense to American consumers, public health, or national security. Our leaders must stop this reckless attack. #StopLNG



Should this be a surprise?

Is it just a coincidence that Donald Trump took over the RNC, fired most of its Republican staff, and installed his daughter-law as co-chair at the same time he’s become desperate for money and can’t post bond? Donors better beware.

No, it is not good that winter was so short and warm. We are baking the planet with our greenhouse gas emissions, and it has to stop. apple.news/ATmQqrFITS6GA8…

Spring is here very early. That’s not good.

Winter’s insanely early end, explained in one map.

Denmark's biggest bank--one of the 60 largest in the world--is no longer going to do business with fossil fuel expanders. That's a big deal!

Last week oil and gas majors lost millions of dollars! We at @ActionAidDK are proud to be part of this change in money flows. We have campaigned tirelessly for years to make the largest bank in DK @DanskeBank_DK divest. Now, it has become reality. Other banks need to follow, now!

Here's a great illustration of the carbon cycle.

Great visualization and explainer by @NASAClimate on how key components of the carbon cycle work during a year. I like the bars to the bottom right showing the seasonal cycle... svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5110

The GOP has chosen. They will nominate a man who attempted to overturn an election and seize power. We have eight months to save our republic & ensure Donald Trump is never anywhere near the Oval Office again. Join me in the fight for our nation’s freedom. greattask.com

Dude, where's my recession? In 2023 we gained 2.7 million jobs and saw inflation plunge with no significant rise in unemployment. Doomsayers should be engaging in some significant soul-searching.
