95,000 scientists fired; grants curtailed or eliminated; scientists silenced; and, active attempts to put all federal science funding under Trump’s control. The #trumpregime war on science, research and academia continues unabated. #science #academia #research #grants #scienceundersiege

Will be taking about #ScienceUnderSiege tomorrow at the @crick.ac.uk here in London, just minutes from Platform 9&3/4 at Kings Cross 😀

And they are hardly disconnected. As @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I discuss in #ScienceUnderSiege, A.I. is now being weaponized by bad actors to make climate disinformation "go infinite" (terminology we borrow from @noupside.bsky.social)
@sammyroth.bsky.social The insanity is NOT the freak out about AI, it’s the relative lack of freak out about Big Oil & Coal’s continuing war on human health & planetary health—and, as you and @amywestervelt.bsky.social point out, on democracy.

Artificial insanity

We ( @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social and I) anticipated this assault on climate action as a logical extension of the #Project2025 agenda in our book #ScienceUnderSiege published just over a year ago now

Great interview. One of the world's best climate communicators, noted climate scientist Michael Mann, continues to speak out about the increasing threats we all face. The media ignores the fossil fuel connection that drives our warming climate. @MichaelEMann x.com/MichaelEMann...

In #ScienceUnderSiege, my co-author @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I emphasize that legacy outlets like the @nytimes.com are a big part of the problem.

Actual statement by editorial board in today's paper: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Since Fox News & their media mercenary hack Jonathan Turley went apoplectic when Pete Dominick & I recently discussed the importance of Democrats expanding the court, here's more on that via my book w/ @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social, #ScienceUnderSiege (bookshop.org/p/books/scie...)

The @nytimes.com is once again platforming lab leak conspiracy theories from Matt Ridley co-author Alina Chan, despite having been called out in the past by leading experts for doing so. Here's what @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & I said in #ScienceUnderSiege (copying @angierasmussen.bsky.social):

A pleasure to meet Professor @michaelemann.bsky.social during his visit to @mcgill.ca @mcgilldgph.bsky.social

His books “Science Under Siege” with @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social & “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars” are seminal for scientists struggling to make sense of the assault on science
