I'm such a big fan of the Graduate Climate Conference!!
Spent an inspiring few days at 19th Graduate Climate Conference at MBL Woods Hole. Huge thanks to the organizers, speakers, presenters, and sponsors who make this early-career climate community possible. Excited for the next GCC at Pack Forest, WA

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

The National Climate Assessment sites all went dark today after the Trump administration announced in April that it would allow the main contract supporting the report to expire.

With no backup plan for hosting the reports elsewhere, it appears they have just been allowed to disappear.

The President's Budget request as released yesterday will gut scientific research. Why should you care?
1) Science is fundamentally a jobs program. Many 100,000s are employed to do science and work for you, the US taxpayer.

“this idea that you get what you voted for… the reality is that me and everybody else I worked with at NOAA really cares about every single one of the hundreds of millions of people in this country. We don’t care what your personal opinions are—we want you to be safe, we want you to be healthy… “
Question from a livestream viewer: “How many lives are collectively impacted by [NOAA's] monitoring and rapid response work.”

John Cortinas: “I don’t have any exact numbers, but I would probably start by saying the entire population of the United States…"
