Well, yeah, I guess they remove smoke detectors from their houses, as they could create smoke anxiety when a fire breaks out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Don't look up!

Maybe they should make it illegal to say "measles" too.

I know it's unlikely without a major lab oops, but I've put smallpox back on my bingo card.

The Princeton cuts are a slap in the face to all those who need better seasonal precipitation forecasts,” said Rick Spinrad, the administrator of NOAA during the Biden administration, noting the importance of such forecasts to the agriculture, transportation and energy sectors.

This is a big one, though seasonal forecasts tend to be iffy. Overall, property owners/potential buyers should have an idea of how bad it is, or going to get how soon.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
