Is climatechange behind the insane 80 mph winds (which Angelenos will tell you were wilder than any Santa Ana winds weve seen before)? There’s not really much evidence that climatechange has increased or decreased the magnitude or likelihood of the wind events themselves in Southern California, Swain says in this UCLA report.
Interested in understanding how climatechange affects our groundwater and what it means for the environment and economy? Join PA Sea Grant and the Department of Environmental Protection for the upcoming Pennsylvania Lake Erie Environmental Forum webinar on Groundwater and ClimateChange on November 19 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
Graphic: Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego Teaching the climatechange unit last week in my International Environmental Law and Policy class, I found myself so moved that I started crying at the board. My poor students thought I was in distress.I

Robertson is an environmentalscience major from Lake Balboa, Calif., For more information about this project, contact Dr. Helen Boylan, professor of environmentalscience, at 724-946-6293 or boylanhm@westminster.edu. The class presented their findings at Westminster’s Undergraduate Research and Arts Celebration in April.
Climatechange research is critical, but complex science can be hard to communicate, especially to children, which creates a gap that limits public understanding and action, said Siobhan Fathel , assistant professor of earth & environmentalsciences.
None of this should make you feel better, either about the election or climatechange. Yes, your favored candidate could sweep the swing states, and yes, climatechange could be more moderate than we now expect.
Furthermore, global challenges of climatechange and population growth pose short- and long-term threats to safe and reliable WASH. Climate resilience, innovation, intersectional sensitivity, and systems strengthening are currently highlighted as necessary for sustainability and equitability in the WASH sector.
All projects will be co-created and sustained by community members, local organizations and Academy scientists with a collective aim to address systemic racism and climatechange issues across the city. The ethos is simple: help improve the quality of life for the people of Philadelphia.

According to the Department of Environmental Protection, the city and the surrounding regions are currently in a ‘drought watch.’ If you haven’t noticed, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have been a bit dry. While the seemingly unending days of blue skies can be picturesque, there are unseen challenges to a long dry season.
One such agency is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which provides the scientific bedrock of data needed to protect our health, homes, and livelihoods from climatechange and other environmental threats. In this post I will focus on Project 2025’s ill-advised designs for NOAA.
Scientists will be able to paint an accurate picture of many different species’ population changes or when and where certain invasive species have entered into the ecosystem.
And in the past 60 years or so people have gone to the Greenland ice sheet to basically pull these long tubes of ice out of the ice sheet itself and use the ice as a record of climatechange because ice is laid down yearly and it’s basically like a tree ring. Feltman: Mm-hmm. DelViscio: But in an ice sheet.
According to Trump’s EPA, the Endangerment Finding creatively added multiple leaps, arguing that the combined six gases contribute some mysterious amount above zero to climatechange and that climatechange creates some mysterious amount of endangerment above zero to public health.
Climatechange is exposing land formerly covered by ice, heightening political tensions on the island nation—and in the waters surrounding it as sea ice also disappears. Schaefer believes reducing the error will make ice-sheet models better tools for adapting to climatechange.
On the contrary, Trump has marginalized economic analysis and wants to bulldoze environmentalscience. Thus, we are likely to get policies that are bad for the environment without being cost-justified, while ignoring policies whose environmental benefits outweigh economic costs. This is somewhat like asking RFK, Jr.
Climatechange is no fad or Johnny-come-lately in science. Over time, it has become more and more certain that humans are causing climatechange and that continuing down that road poses great risks. First paper on risk of sea level rise due to climatechange. above 1850-1900 in 2011-2020.
Tricia Paff: Look at the announcement that EPA is reconsidering I think that was the word they used but really its going to eliminate the 2009 endangerment finding that gives us the authority to mitigate the risk of climatechange in vehicles. So, that doesn’t really serve the American people very well.
Work is being stalled, erased or doomed, especially in the medical and environmentalsciences. One is through new policies at funding agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Has ending scientific study of climatechange got anything to do with any of this?
Harvard Environmental Justice Tracker keeps track of actions that affect community exposure to environmental pollution and the ability of impacted communities to participate in decisions. Sabin Center Climate Backtracker : This tracks actions by the Trump Administration to reduce or eliminate climatechange actions.
On June 10, the University of Maryland Center for EnvironmentalScience released its 19th annual Chesapeake Bay and Watershed Report Card , the most comprehensive annual assessment of the Chesapeake Bay and its Watershed. Climatechange is accelerating, and with it comes more flooding, pollution, and ecological stress.
Michelle Lujan Grisham last Thursday signed into law Senate Bill 48, the Community Benefit Fund, which contains $210 million for communities to use for a series of projects to mitigate climatechange impacts.
A Trump executive order directed EPA to consider reopening its finding that greenhouse gases cause harmful climatechange despite hundreds if not thousands of scientific papers supporting the finding. Some agencies have scrubbed all mentions of climatechange from their websites. Trump picked Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,
In a separate development, the NIH has also begun terminating grants for active projects studying environmental justice, climatechange, and other topics, according to reporting by Max Kozlov and Smriti Mallapaty for the journal Nature. A popular sign at the Westwood protest.
Regulatory Rollbacks EPA announced plans to roll back thirty-one environmental actions. These included Biden climate-change regulations, but also protections against air pollution that are important to public health and water pollution limits for coal plants. The list also included a repeal of the Obama-era Endangerment Finding.
The Trump Administration has gone to war against science. The Administration is also gutting research across the government, from the Environmental Protection Agency to the National Institutes of Health. Trump’s budget calls for cutting federal research funding almost in half.

On the positive side, the National Academy of Sciences says solar geoengineering “ could reduce surface temperatures and potentially ameliorate some risks posed by climatechange (e.g., loss of stratospheric ozone); important aspects of regional climate (e.g.,
Even worse, information about extreme weather would also shed light on climatechange, a taboo subject. Better information about extreme weather could support more robust programs to deal with those threats rather than supporting massive budget cuts. More robust government programs arent part of the MAGA agenda.
Theodore Boutrous , a partner in the Los Angeles office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher who represents Chevron , a role in which “he draws on his First Amendment background to argue that oil companies shouldnt face legal consequences for deceiving the public about whether climatechange is real,” as one report put it.
We are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in Americas Golden Age, or so said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, who used to be considered a fairly rational person. And scientists haven’t ignored the arguments made by climate deniers — they’ve tested and rejected each of them. .”

The institutional developments are new, but university engagement with the climate issue goes back decades. University research has led in developing clean technologies, mapping the impacts of climatechange, and identifying policy tools to reduce emissions. Institutional changes don’t accomplish anything by themselves.
So, no, there’s no conspiracy of scientists to cook up thousands of scientific papers about climatechange. After all, universities are looking to hire people who will feel compelled to share their views with students and publish their ideas for the whole world to see. Keeping quiet about something is not a prized professional trait.
One day, she asked a young girl what she knew about climatechange. The child’s caretaker jumped in to say, “Oh no — we don’t talk about climatechange.”. How can we talk about climatechange in an accessible way for children? Climatechange is something that’s scary for parents and scary for me as well.
She is an MIT grad who went to Berkeley for graduate school, where earned a master’s degree in environmental engineering and a PhD from ERG. ERG — more formally the Energy and Resources Group — is Berkeley’s unique, interdisciplinary program spanning economics and social science, environmentalscience, and engineering.
The first climatechange presentation I saw was back in the 1970s when I was working for the National Weather Service. Murray Mitchell, was the top climate scientist for NWS. While that got the bulk of the publicity, Dr. Mitchell assured us that the warming of the climate would be the biggest problem in the future.
But he also voices full-throated conspiracy theories denying the reality of human-caused climatechange. These election fraud and anti-vaccine conspiracies converge with some far-out ideas about climatescience. Respect for science matters and this staffing choice shows definitively which side RFK Jr.
The other three – Under a White Sky by Elizabeth Kolbert, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster by Bill Gates and Brave Green World by Chris Forman and Claire Asher – look at the full spectrum of solutions and mitigation strategies that have been suggested. Small Gases, Big Effect: This is ClimateChange by David Nelles and Christian Serrer.
Inspired by the book All We Can Save , a celebration of the feminist climate renaissance , we asked 15 local women who are thinking about and working on climatechange to respond to the question: “If we are at a crossroads of peril and promise, where do you see possibility alive and growing?”.
