Science and Vaccines yes, war and king no
Save NCAR
There is no future without science
Evidence Based Outrage
SF Stand Up For Science, a few of the signs.
Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!
Someone without a science degree or any science research experience nominated to be in charge of NSF.
My latest for @science.org. - Illegal miners have forced Peru’s oldest environmental research station to suspend work.
Gold mining has so far led to the deforestation of 140,000 ha of Amazonian rainforest in Peru - about half the size of Yosemite National Park

Need more industries to speak up against the attacks on NCAR.

It is hard to watch NSF bow so easily to their destroyers.
Vannevar Bush formed the NSF out of the US response to the fascists in WWII.
The federal government is setting itself up to be on the wrong end of the biggest lawsuit in history.
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...
We knew the NSF letter about NCAR would come. I think this is an occasion that will require great coordination and strategical thinking. UCAR should respond as a block, coordinating a response across universities (especially in the South, and large public universities that use NCAR data a lot)
I would strongly encourage those who value the scientific & societal legacies of NCAR to offer feedback by March 13. I would expect, under present circumstances, perspectives from industry partners will be especially critical, though everyone's voice is of course important.
This week, the Trump Administration announced it's decision to withdraw from international organizations and treaties that support global cooperation on climate and environmental issues, a huge setback for global science. Read AGU's full statement:

someone needs to get him on the phone, quick!
The federal govt may be burning global cooperation on climate science to the ground, but we can and are pushing back where we can. We have more than 70 US scientists currently on IPCC reports, with more to be selected this month for CDR methods report. The USAA-IPCC coalition is up for this fight.
So this is how they’ve chosen to mark the one year anniversary of the Los Angeles fires.

Bravo to the #AGU25 protestor out in front of the entrance to the convention center this am
NCAR’s Mesa Lab is literally a science castle dedicated to understanding our planet in an open and collaborative way, and leading the world in that effort. We cannot let this happen.
The beautiful idea of NCAR, to improve understanding of our planet through a cooperative, shared and open intellectual team effort, is literally what has got me out of bed every morning for nearly two decades. This cannot, CANNOT be allowed to happen.

A deeply dangerous — and blatantly retaliatory action against Colorado — by the Trump administration.
NCAR is one of the most renowned scientific facilities in the WORLD — where scientists perform cutting-edge research everyday.
We will fight this reckless directive with every legal tool we have.
They’re stealing from us. They are stealing from us and we have to put a stop to this. This cannot stand.
This wouldn't just be a national tragedy but a global one. Just mind-boggling vandalism.
This 15-story data tower in the heart of the Amazon collects vital climate data that is shared with Americans in California and across the country.
The Trump Administration can ignore reality and worsen the climate crisis, but California will never stop fighting for our future.

We just published the Global Carbon Budget 2025, with a mix of bad news (CO2 emissions continue to grow) and encouraging news (35 countries saw emissions decline over the past decade while growing their economies).
Read the highlights in a short article:

How can we explore the future of the world's forests? Understanding the demography of their trees is key. In We took the new gen of global demographic vegetation models and held their roots to the observations. Thanks @annemarie-es.bsky.social for leading! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
MAJOR NEWS: @GavinNewsom signed SB 79, my bill allowing more housing near public transit — rail, subway, rapid bus.
It’s a huge step for housing in California. It’ll create more homes, strengthen our transit systems & reduce traffic & carbon emissions.
Thank you, Governor!
Strong statement today from UC's Academic Senate:
Mr. Bob is a true local hero of street safety, and it is so infuriating that he was attacked in this latest instance of senseless car violence. I really hope he makes a full recovery.
