Americans think that because they have AI on their phones and overnight Amazon that they have Mother Nature whipped.
Not the case, writes @jeffgoodell. If the Palisades fire proves anything, it's that the Earth (and us on it) are in serious trouble.

“I think the extremely strong desire is to just punish universities however possible,” @kevincarey1 says. “It’s not based on any kind of coherent policy agenda. It’s just a desire to inflict pain.”nytimes.com/2025/02/14/opini…

The U.S. #NationalWeatherService, housed within #NOAA, is a truly world-class meteorological predictive service, perhaps singularly so. It costs only ~$3/yr per taxpayer, & yields ~10:1 return on investment--saving economy 10s-100s of billions, not to mention thousands of lives.
Hearing reports that Musk’s cronies are targeting NOAA — infiltrating key systems & locking out career employees.
NOAA is vital for weather forecasting, scientific research & more. Their critical work saves lives.
My team and I are looking into this & we will not stand for it.

One good thing about Trump speculating about taking Greenland is that it might inspire more people to think about what's happening in the icy north and to pick up
@NeilShubin's ENDS OF THE EARTH. I can't recommend highly enough. It's a cosmic adventure story written in ice.

Love how Texas grid is moving in exactly the opposite direction of Trump: Wind rising fast, coal falling fast.
ERCOT fuel mix from 2006 to 2024 now available:
- Natural gas above its 19-year running average of 43% to 44% in 2024.
- Solar hitting 10% of total energy generated.
- Wind holding steady %-wise, but up in absolute terms.
- The ERCOT grid is now 42% clean energy!

Here is my summary of the environmental, energy and climate provisions in the executive orders that Trump issued last night. bit.ly/4h1uux3 Bottom line: Doing everything they can to increase both supply of and demand for fossil fuels.

Trump saying he’s going to bring back the Keystone XL pipeline is like a guy at Blockbuster saying he’s going to bring back VHS tapes.
That pipeline was a boondoggle 15 years ago and it’s even dumber today.

Trump's Paris withdrawal sums up this moment: it will damage the planet while rewarding fossil fuel interests who could care less about a MAGA movement that sees climate scientists as more "elite" than oil executives. Meanwhile, China will lead (and profit) on clean energy

Trump quits Paris climate agreement and pushes fossil fuels. Musk says the climate crisis is no big deal. I wonder what the owner of this melted Tesla in LA thinks?

One astonishing thing about the number of tech billionaires donating $1m to the Trump inauguration is that, for instance, Zuckerberg’s donation is the equivalent of someone worth $200 million donating $1,000.
The combined net worth of the four wealthiest people at Trump's inauguration is $1.06 trillion dollars.
