For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.

Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Between this and the Louvre prosecutor describing the suspects’ statements as “minimalist” while bragging that they had worked on the case over a weekend it’s an absolutely incredible week for Frenchness

Every 1/10th of a degree of warming we prevent is a profound gift to our children & grandchildren, and to their children & grandchildren. We should aim to prevent as much warming as possible AND improve the lives of everyone alive today through poverty alleviation & better health. Walk + chew gum.

I wrote about how Border Patrol taking the lead in immigration operations mirrors a shift that happens often in concentration-camp regimes, including Nazi Germany, and some ways we can respond.

Calling all ensemble forecast system enthusiasts! The State of Texas is funding development of a new ensemble prediction system (100 members, 2km grid spacing) with an embedded WoFS interface, to be developed at Texas Tech! Passing along 3 open research scientist positions towards that development:

Texas Tech Geosciences is hiring two open-rank Atmospheric Science faculty positions in Precipitation Hazards, and in Data Science; part of an interdisciplinary, multi-year Atmospheric Hazards Strategic Hire. See the details for the Precipitation and Data Science positions and join us in fall 2026!

Prominent climate scientist, @katharinehayhoe.com, argues it's time to ditch the 'myth of neutrality.'

💯 ... The other side has done that a long time ago.

The @nytimes.com climate section is profiling federal scientists who have been terminated and their work.

I spoke with tsunami expert Corina Allen, who worked to ensure tsunami alerts made it to the public. She was fired in February.

Read her story and others':

NPR ran a story last night about NSF terminating funding for AI focused meteorology research & the (IMO) insane explanation they got from OMB. I shared my perspective on this and our continued insistence to shoot ourselves in the foot when it comes to scientific R&D. tinyurl.com/2kzujwz8

This is SUCH an important point. Most people are worried about climate change: but most people feel helpless and think nothing’s being done (so why should they do anything?)

This is why my weekly newsletter always includes good news on climate solutions as well as actions we can take!

The remnants of Typhoon Halong appear to have potentially set a local ERA5 record (1950-2024) for lowest MSLP for the month of October:

Sunday a massive storm surge event from the remnants of Typhoon Halong caused catastrophic damage in remote western Alaska. Thanks to @alaskawx.bsky.social for his help with this deep dive, including the forecast challenges in an area dealing with reduced NWS upper air soundings

UPDATE‼️The Hill reports at least 4,100 employees fired today as Russell Vought and Trump devastate our government agencies and slash the federal workforce.

Fair point! Even the CMCE "dry" solution still carries a lot of impacts. I just think the uncertainty is fascinating. The next 24 hours still have the Canadian with the least QPF, but even that solution is very impactful for western CO!

Lots of uncertainty amongst the NBM QMD membership too! The Canadian ensemble is all in on a drier scenario (100% of CMCE in Cluster 1) whereas the rest of the global ensemble solutions have a much larger QPF footprint. Really interesting to see such large differences at this short a lead time!
