Hoo boy, this is an amazing piece of scholarship that @samlmontano.bsky.social has done! Bottom line if FEMA Council report becomes law: you’re on your own, disaster survivors.

This part where @naomioreskes.bsky.social points out the similarities between the US, Nazi Germany, and Soviet Russia in terms of the ways science is under attack gave me chills (and not in a good way). #ApocalypticOptimist
I was just at the @sabincenter.bsky.social Second Conference on Attribution Science and Climate Law. @jsmankin.bsky.social and I (and other attendees) were interviewed by reporter Lesley Clark about the vibes in the science community.

An emerging field of research that can measure how much climate change has worsened individual disasters is under attack by friends of the fossil fuel industry. Billions of dollars are at stake.

Insurance and Big Oil, another destructive bromance of our times.

When's the best time to drop the 20,000 word analysis of the FEMA Review Council report you've been working on for weeks?

Getting heat alerts in real time while you are working on a chapter of a new book about climate change is a very 2026 kind of deadline pressure.
"...we are in a deeply partisan age. Just by doing our work, we will be viewed in a partisan light no matter what. So our job is to double down on the science."
This is excellent. It's just missing two words: "climate change."

Scientists at a climate law conference said they will continue to study how corporate pollution leads to stronger heat waves, hurricanes and other
Is America repeating authoritarian history? Harvard historian discusses how current attacks on American science map cleanly onto dangerous patterns of the past. We aren't just fighting for the planet; we're fighting for the truth. Watch the new episode! @fisherdanar.bsky.social
