One of our projects at NCEI uses Atlas 14 data, and we are anxiously awaiting Atlas 15 volume 1 to come out We are also hope to build climos and projections using Vol1 and Vol2, but that is uncertain right now. @capitalweather @MatthewCappucci @BenNollWeather

In a UK newspaper opinion piece today, Matt Ridley says: "winter nighttime temperatures have risen faster than summer daytime ones" Um, no, not for the UK which the article is about. In fact, the hottest summer days are warming 2x faster than coldest winter nights.

I was asked to take a look into this tweet, cos, well, it’s Andrea Jenkyns!🤷🏼‍♀️ So first - the substance of the story… 1/20

If the only way you'll ever hear someone call out Nigel Farage's destructive, divisive politics on the BBC is for me to do it, then so be it.

I am loath to criticise my former BBC colleagues and I’m aware they weren’t in on the story. But the idea of a TV presenter losing his job being the top story on the website as opposed to Parliament being kept in the dark for two years about the Afghan data leak is risible.

We see here a self-styled "honest broker" with decades of experience in downplaying climate change presenting an age-old climate denial trope: using *annual* rainfall data as argument against an increase in *extreme* rainfall. Does he *really* not know better? Brief 🧵1/4

If you are in the weather or climate field, read this thread. Mets, chasers, researchers... Wow.

NCEI: Decrease (-$18,000, -6 FTE/ -16 Positions) This realignment will reduce engagement services, tailored products, and eliminate the Regional Climate Services program noaa.gov/sites/default/…

This proposal would also remove funding for aircraft recapitalization, so there's a pretty good chance NOAA recon flights would have to wind down if this proposal were to go through, putting lives at risk.

There's a lot of bad news in the NOAA budget release, and yes there are going to be negotiations over the next few months. But what's baffling to me is the complete elimination of the OAR labs, especially NSSL. Like, no one in Oklahoma is going to stop that from happening?

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions. GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc. This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including the Mauna Loa site, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth.

NSSL, GFDL, all of the Cooperative Institutes (including where I work), AOML (including the Hurricane Research Division which goes on Hurricane Hunters flights and develops hurricane research models), all gone. Warn on Forecast, PAR, VORTEX, all dead in the water. this is grim

"Erasing women and women-specific language and needs based on their sex is not only wrong, but also demeaning, regressive and constitutes one of the worst forms of violence that women and girls can experience," @UNSRVAW Reem Alsalem told the @UN Human Rights Council. #HRC59

Elegant demolition of one of the tired old tropes

Let's clear this up The map labelled "1976" is actually from 2022 Even if you take the max temperature that year (35.9°C), it's still 4.4 less than the max temperature in 2022 (40.3°C) Climate change denial relies on disinformation like this 👇
