This is really stupid, and it’s not getting enough attention.

The Trump administration is pulling a working $368 million ocean monitoring system out of the water, equipment taxpayers already bought, built, and sank into the deep ocean.

And they are doing it right when the oceans are behaving in ways that alarm the scientists who study them.

Record-breaking temperatures.

A system of Atlantic currents that may be lurching toward collapse.

The response?

Yank out the instruments and walk away.

That is not budgeting. That is smashing the gauges while the engine is on fire and calling it efficiency.

For what? The Trump administration dressed it up as a “nimbler approach” and “smart lifecycle management,” which is fancy nonsense for “we shut it off and hoped nobody would ask why.” There is no return-on-investment analysis. They cannot show taxpayers save a dime, because the gear is already paid for and the science it produces protects real money and real lives.

The kicker: the same people killing the monitors want to mine the deep sea for minerals. So they are destroying the only tools that could measure what that mining does. That is not an accident.

That is the point. You cannot see the damage if you break the instruments first.

Scientists across the country are expressing alarm as the Trump administration dismantles another tool for understanding how the planet is changing.

Starting this month, more than 900 deep-sea ocean sensors will be pulled out of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans off the coast of Washington, Oregon, Alaska, North Carolina, and Greenland.

Researchers say these are critical ocean observation tools.

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Two years after she first guest edited Talking Climate, I sat down with climate scientist Dr. Kim Cobb to ask a simple question: What's the latest?

The answer reminded me that some of the most encouraging climate progress we're seeing is happening at the same time as some of the biggest risks we face.

❤️ What gives her hope: Clean energy. Around the world, renewable energy is being deployed at a pace that even many climate scientists didn't expect to see this soon.

😱 What keeps her up at night: Climate tipping points. Earth's history shows us that climate systems don't always change gradually—and some changes can accelerate much faster than we expect.

🤝 How do we move forward: Talk about it. Research shows that people are more likely to take action when they understand the risks, see solutions happening around them, and know that others care too.

Watch our full conversation on Substack or Patreon, and let me know: What climate solution gives you hope right now?

"Leaders who depend on imported fuel increasingly see solar, batteries, electric transport, and efficiency not as political burdens but as tools for containing the price shocks that drive their citizens into the streets. For the first time in the climate era, public interest in cheap, secure clean power and political interest in regime continuity point in the same direction"

We've been divided before. That's not new.

What's new is a President who wakes up every morning and decides to make it worse — pitting Americans against each other so nobody notices he's not solving a single thing.

[UN Environment Programme @UNEP]

Polar ice is melting at an accelerating rate. Sea levels are rising. Ocean systems are shifting. 

The way we respond has never been more urgent.

Trump’s outrageous plan to scrap a crucial ocean system for monitoring climate change will also make weather forecasting less accurate and lessen our ability to provide warnings of dangerous storms, say scientists. Stupid, or what?

What is there to not understand?
With the coming El Niño maybe more will.
But it will take a lot of heat related deaths & harm to do so.
Why don’t people listen to the science?

Every second, $6,000 in fossil fuel subsidies are handed out globally. That’s $5 trillion/year.
Renewables? Barely a fraction.
We have 6–7 years to halve emissions. The industry has zero years of conscience.

Bill Pulte is not an experienced national security professional.

He is a reckless political hack.

Under no circumstances can this guy be allowed to serve as Acting Director of National Intelligence.

Climate deniers have spent years circulating a chart they claim disproves the relationship between CO₂ and temperature.

It does the opposite.

Listen up, people! The jaw-dropping tale of how Trump clawed his way into the White House, riding a tidal wave of Russian cash, is one that’ll blow your mind—and it’s a story EVERYONE needs to hear, loud and clear!
