The Texas Flash Flood Is a Preview of the Chaos to Come
—
Climate change is making disasters more common, more deadly and far more costly, even as the federal government is running away from the policies that might begin to protect the nation.

The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from.

If you're in the middle of any one of these awful events you can call but are less likely than ever before to reach anyone, let alone get any sort of assistance - not even a referral to someone onsite who is assisting - because the funding stopped abruptly. Because the mercenary kidnapper thugs want sidearms, SUVs with mobile wi-fi, zipties, & Cheetos. YES: They actually expropriated domestic relief funding to use for domestic terror. #tgichh #Climate

Trump’s EPA Plans to Stop Collecting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data From Most Polluters
—
Climate experts expressed shock and dismay at the move. “It would be a bit like unplugging the equipment that monitors the vital signs of a patient that is critically ill,” one said.

Elon Musk’s net worth fluctuates around $220 billion — more than the GDP of over 130 countries. But what if that wealth did more than fund rockets and cars? Here are 10 ways a person of his wealth could change the world and cement a lasting legacy. 🧵

Trump’s War on Measurement Means Losing Data on Drug Use, Maternal Mortality, Climate Change and More
—
By slashing teams that gather critical data, the administration has left the federal government with no way of understanding if policies are working — and created a black hole of information whose consequences could ripple out for decades.

Earthjustice President Describes a “Fundamentally Different” Era of Hostility Toward Environmentalists

Abigail Dillen sees the increase of lawsuits targeting green groups as just one of the growing threats to environmental advocacy organizations — and the people who staff them.

Shell facing first UK legal claim over climate impacts of fossil fuels
Rural residents were upset when Oregon released a statewide map estimating property risk from wildfires.
Until then, the impacts of climate change were abstract to many people, one senator said. “This is a very big chicken coming home to roost.”

We will shoot past the 1.5°C target, averaged over 20 years, by the end of this decade. There’s no way to prevent it.
After that, to avoid 2C, 3C, or even 4C, it will take a massive and — dare we say? — highly unlikely global effort to unite in slashing carbon emissions at an unprecedented rate.
__________________________________
For global average temperatures to stabilize at less than 1.5°C above preindustrial levels, humanity needs to achieve 43% greenhouse gas emissions cuts by 2030. But progress on climate action has stagnated in recent years, global GHG emissions are yet to peak, and our remaining carbon budget is dwindling.
Above 1.5°C of warming, we risk passing critical tipping points in natural Earth systems, triggering self-perpetuating changes that could shift the planet out of the habitable zone for humanity and for life as we know it. Even with rapid, large-scale action on climate change, crossing some tipping points may now be unavoidable.

For Blake Gerard, a fourth-generation farmer working the flood-prone fields of the Mississippi River bottomlands in Alexander County, Ill., there was no sense in fighting nature.
“I could grow something that would grow in water,” he said. Or quit.

Why Some Farmers Are Stuck Raising Crops That No Longer Thrive
---
Some farmers keep growing in flood- and drought-prone fields because subsidies soften the losses, while federal programs meant to help them change course have been underfunded and mired in bureaucracy. Under Trump, those programs may weaken further.

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells.
---
The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions. The state’s regulator, however, grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas into the atmosphere.
