Barry Jones had been thinking about climate change since the 1960s.
But as he would discover, foresight rarely aligns with political incentives.
“I would say to Bob Hawke: ‘Look, we’ve got to take the issue of climate change seriously’,” he recalls.
“And he’d say, ‘but when’s the impact going to be seen at its worst?’
“And you think, well, it might be another 25 years
and he’d reply:
‘Well, you come back to me sometime later, before the 25 years is up, …

The U.S. Forest Service is closing 57 of its 77 research facilities in 31 states
under a reorganization plan announced this week,
threatening science that looked at how wildfires, drought, pests and global warming are putting pressure on forests.
The agency plans to consolidate its research division into a centralized office in Fort Collins, Colo.,
and move field researchers to locations in nearby states.
But employees said they feared the move would lead many s…

“President Trump on Thursday announced he was erasing the scientific finding that climate change endangers human health and the environment, ending the federal government’s legal authority to control the pollution that is dangerously heating the planet.”

I guess fossil fuel companies follow tobacco industry playbook: first deny and discredit the science, later deny responsibility. It'll work until a big case is won and a precedent it established. But by then most of the current management will be retired, so sadly it'll likely pay off...

According to reporting by Bloomberg, about half of the data centers slated to open in the US in 2026 will either face delays or outright cancellations.
The publication interviewed analysts at market intelligence company Sightline Climate, which in research first flagged by Ed Zitron last week noted that 12 gigawatts worth of power-consuming data centers are set to open in the US this year.
But here’s the catch:
they say only a third of those are actually under construction r…

On Tuesday famed climate scientist Kate Marvel joined the more than 10,000 people with PhDs in science, engineering and mathematics who, according to Science, are reported to have left the U.S. federal workforce since
Donald Trump took office in January.
Marvel resigned from NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Sciences (GISS), where she studied climate change and its effects on Earth’s systems. In her resignation letter, she wrote that “the decision to leave was not an easy one.”…

Philip Ball:
"There’s a broader issue at stake here too that pertains to the place of AI in scientific research. Too often now, we hear claims of how AI will replace human scientists and, in doing so, will solve our most pressing problems: curing all disease, solving climate change, figuring out how to conduct nuclear fusion. Such claims are never supported by experts in those fields—and that’s not because they want to convince us that they are indispensable after all. Rather, it i…
