You want to know what #climate scientists got wrong about #climatechange?
We were too cautious. It's happening faster than we anticipated and the impacts are going to be worse.

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
—
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

And I interviewed a quite seditious tardigrade!

USDA says it'll restore climate info to its web site after farmers and environmental groups sued
I'll believe it when I see the pages restored, but provisionally this is good news
climate data gathered by federal agencies is crucial for farmers, insurers, airlines ... pretty much any industry that has to deal with the weather
The majority of the global population want governments to do more on tackling climate change, but often believe they are in the minority.
This 'silent majority' represents both an untapped source of support for environmentalists, but also a potential problem for politicians seen as unwilling to push the climate as a key political concern!
Can this 'silent majority' find a more powerful voice?
And if it does what would be the consequences?
Staff of #FEMA were left baffled on Monday after #DavidRichardson, the head of the US disaster agency since May, said during a briefing that he had not been aware the country has a #HurricaneSeason, acc/to 4 sources familiar w/the situation.
The US #hurricane season officially began on Sunday & lasts through November. #NOAA forecast last week that this year's season is expected to bring as many as 10 #hurricanes.

The 20th of May this year was the day that the UK overshot its Earth resources limit. A limit for keeping our Earth safe for habitation.
A limit that when exceeded makes the UK into a nation that thumbs its nose at its own young, who’s future it ignores!
Tell that to Fartage, Kemical or even Starmercenary, then see what bullshit you get back!
Websites hosting major US #climate reports taken down
Websites that displayed legally mandated US national climate assessments seem to have disappeared, making it harder for #state & #local governments & the #public to learn what to expect in their backyards from a warming world.

#Greenland handed a 30-year #mining permit to a Danish-French mining group aiming to extract a moon-like rock that could offer a #climate-friendly alternative in aluminium production.
The #Arctic island rich in #minerals, #oil & #NaturalGas, & long seen as a potential resource frontier, has drawn international attention since #Trump expressed an interest in *purchasing* [conquering] it earlier this year.

Here's how wildfire smoke exposure can impact your health
Exposure to wildfire smoke — especially if it's heavy and over a long period of time — can cause adverse health effects in anybody, regardless of health status or age. 👉 But even mild wildfire exposure can significantly impact at-risk groups, such as people with chronic health conditions, seniors, young children and pregnant women.

The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come
—
Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.
#News #Climate #ClimateChange #Flood #ExtremeWeather #Texas #Trump
It’s hard to focus on #climate when every day brings a new political crisis. So much chaos at home & abroad has buried it in the news.
But the climate crisis hasn’t paused - even when our collective attention has.
I hope we act before it takes the next disaster to remind us what’s at stake.
#Texas Gov. #GregAbbott says at least 161 people are still missing days after flash #floods that killed more than 100 people across central Texas.

A climate scientist in Texas writes about the devastating Texas floods: “Climate change isn’t creating new risks: rather, it’s amplifying existing ones.” Read more from @time:

#Trump expressed his disdain for #WindPower during a meeting with his Cabinet recently, calling it an expensive form of #energy that “smart” countries
don’t use.
His comments contained false & misleading information about the use of wind power in the #UnitedStates & around the world, & came on the heels of an #ExecutiveOrder he signed Monday that would end subsidies around “#green” energy.
