The NSF’s National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is under existential threat. To understand the invaluable service NCAR provides to the public, see:

Hopefully this video will help encourage people to put pressure on Congress to legally protect NCAR.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Excited to see our review article come out on carbon dioxide radical anion and its potential role in water treatment and atmospheric aerosols in Environmental Chemistry Letters (rdcu.be/e1aD7). I am also so grateful to have been part of this international effort with @hh24.bsky.social #TROPOS.

NCAR represents what is possible when a nation chooses to invest in science as a public good, writes @carlonimbus.bsky.social of @ucs.org. #SaveNCAR eos.org/opinions/wha...

Isocycloseram is highly toxic to bees, children and developing fetuses, with breakdown products that include highly persistent PFAS chemicals – one doesn’t need a class in environmental chemistry to understand that this pesticide deserves extra scrutiny.

Grid resilience in a climate-changed world. I would think this would also include burying power lines Which isn’t done in the U.S. because its more expensive than installing overhead lines. However it would be a wise investment since it would undoubtedly reduce outage frequency from extreme weather

In Feb 2025 the Trump administration tried to reverse 60 years of civil rights education law & threatened funding & sanctions if districts and colleges didn’t end everything concerning equity, diversity or inclusion. We sued; we kept winning & today they folded www.nytimes.com/2026/01/21/u...
