The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate. (Via @nytimes) https://t.co/cR23Sac9Va
The Trump admin is dismantling the $368 million deep-ocean observation system.
The system monitors coastal environments, marine ecosystems, and powerful currents that affect the global climate.
It's been used to understand the effects of climate change on the ocean, how changes in ocean temperature affect fisheries, and monitor coastal flooding. Now it's suddenly being removed.

Cities create their own heat. 🌆🌡️
Built surfaces such as asphalt and concrete absorb and store heat during the day, then release it slowly after sunset.
Designing cooler, greener, more inclusive cities is now a public health priority.🏙️

Monday is #WorldReefDay!
Coral reefs are home to over 25% of marine life — yet they are under serious threat due to human activity.

The planet’s signals are getting louder.
So is our response.
Around the world, solutions already exist.
What's needed now: more speed, more scale.
Start a conversation. Shift a policy. Invest in climate solutions. Share a story. Send a signal that moves others.
Every action counts #NowForClimate: https://t.co/KZvI9VU0fV #WorldEnvironmentDay
Drug-resistant infections are a major public health threat around the world, responsible for more than a million deaths each year. Scientists are constantly trying to find and develop new antibiotics.
Now, researchers say artificial intelligence is helping speed their search.
@milesobrien reports.
58 million acres of protected wilderness could be gone soon. 🌲
@NPR is reporting that the Roadless Rule, a 20-year-old Clinton-era policy banning logging and road building across our national forests, is expected to be repealed any day now. | @ClintonFdn

Clean energy is meeting rising global demand without the need for dirty fossil fuels. While countries around the world move forward, the Trump administration is holding the U.S. back by delaying permits and issuing stop-work orders to halt clean energy progress.
The energy transition is moving fast around the globe, and even in the US and now Texas: "Nationally, the combination of wind and solar surpassed coal generation in 2024."

Are we heading for a "Super El Niño"?🦸🌀
El Niño is declared when Pacific temperatures rise 0.5°C above average. Forecasts suggest 2026 could see rises of 2–3°C.

“A global economy that is built on fossil fuels is inherently volatile & unstable.”
UN #ClimateAction Adviser @SelwinHart explains why transitioning to renewable energy is crucial for our economies & our planet.
Interesting that the US Forest Service is being moved to the western US as fires get bigger and more destructive in the East as well. Climate supercharged wildfire is a growing all-of-the US problem.

What can’t PACE do? 👑
Monitoring wildfires and smoke, tracking harmful algae blooms, identifying microscopic critters in the ocean, seeing clouds in 3D, studying plants on land — the @NASAGoddard PACE satellite can do it all!
