NEW PREPRINT: You may recall Joshua trees started flowering fully four months early this year. Was that due to climate change? Well, @colincarlson.bsky.social and I called in Chris Callahan to formally test that hypothesis, and the answer is... it probably wasn't!

The Trump regime is redefining the Endangered Species Act to consider only the intentional killing of endangered animals to be illegal, removing accountability for incidental harm caused by economic activities. Psychopaths.

I am suing the NIH.
As part of a class action with the ACLU and 16 other plaintiffs, we are challenging the thousands of unlawful grant terminations in an effort to get them all reinstated.
Whatever happens, at the very least, no one can say I sat back and watched while they destroyed science.

Assuming Dems take back the House, the impeachment of Trump still should be on the table, but impeaching Kennedy, Hegseth, and Vought should definitely happen–and it will really put Republicans in a bind.

US policymakers must avoid the temptation to rebuild US science by mimicking China and going all in on STEM. That would be a mistake. We also need social science and humanities that makes sense of great technological change like AI. Thats part of US scientific tradition worth keeping.

"all carbon dioxides"
The US EPA everyone! Emissions from power generation accounts for 25% to 30% of US GHG emissions. Models show that greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change. And, if all 'carbon dioxides' were indeed eliminated tomorrow, the Earth would rapidly turn into a snowball. www.epa.gov/newsreleases...
