@vgwschutte.bsky.social is a scicomm QUEEN
Thank you for helping make this year's Weather & Climate Livestream a success!
Another day, another great ENSO talk!
If you're curious about the economic consequences of stronger El Niño events in the future, check out this excellent talk from Prof. Christopher Callahan: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX-v...
If you like what you see, call your reps! 5calls.org/issue/weathe...
another day, another story about the administration's war on knowledge itself, all in service of allow its corporate patrons free rein to rob us blind and poison our world www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/c...
🌪️⚡🌧️ FIRST ALERT: Today, I got to meet a group of weather and climate scientists who walked 250 miles to tell Congress to invest in weather prediction infrastructure! They shared the personal stories of Americans who have been impacted by climate change and extreme weather.
RONI forecasts showing less spread out than ONI ones? Fortuitous error cancelation? Unnamed models (NASA) looking like less of an outlier. All from nmme.earth.miami.edu/figures/inde...
Want to learn more about the Super El Niño🌊🥵? Check out Prof. Emily Becker's wonderful talk from Hour 48 of the 2026 Weather and Climate Livestream! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzOi...
Like what you hear? If you can, call your reps to tell them to protect this crucial science 5calls.org/issue/weathe...
That's a wrap!
- 50 hours of science + calling Congress
- 300 letters given to Congress after a 250-mile walk
We provided the templates and our viewers and supporters injected their voices.
And like last year, we feel so uplifted by our community.
Thank you for spending your time with us
A powerful El Niño Event is expected to develop during 2026.
How powerful? Well the seasonal forecasting models are currently all over the place.
So, somewhere between a Top 10 event in modern history and super-bonkers extreme crazy land. 🤔
🧪🌊
These scientists give me hope -- they marched 250 miles to the nation's capitol to defend research, scientific principles, and truth. 🧵
NYTimes has coverage today of the end of funding for the AI and Weather institute led by @profamymcgovern.bsky.social
We were so lucky to have her on the Livestream last year to speak about the institute, and the many ways it was helping forecasters (& turtles!): www.youtube.com/live/NMa7P6M...
The Weather & Climate Livestream
Congressman Eric Sorensen
Video
Walking the last 2 miles of 270 with Syl Foisy and @zentouro.info for @wclivestream.bsky.social!
300 letters in support of science!
7 members of Congress (and more turned away) to greet us!
I get to give a speech at the Capitol today!!!
Let's gooooooo
Hour 42/50! With a talk about wildfires. I popped in during hour 40 for penguins. And the community in the chat is phenomenal.
Meanwhile, our walk team is in their final 3 miles and has ~300 letters! And more members of Congress want to chat then can fit in the Capitol schedule.
🚨 We begin our 50-hour broadcast today at 4pm 🚨
It's a showcase of incredible people and their phenomenal work- a celebration of the scientific community 🧪, defined broadly
