As hot as this summer is, it’s one of the coolest we’ll ever experience again, says @markgongloff ☀️🎥 Read the column: bloom.bg/4k3bKxF

Climate researcher Zack Labe was one of hundreds of scientists laid off at #NOAA by DOGE this year. He believes we're at a tipping point and that "there could be a complete gap in the next generation of scientists." highnorthnews.com/en/us-climate-…

🗣️"Across Norway, unusually warm, tropical-like days and nights have persisted for weeks, creating new challenges for northern communities unaccustomed to such prolonged heat." - Zack Labe, Climate Scientist 🧵/3

I just posted a new 'climate viz of the month' blog, which highlights a simple method of visualizing regional temperature departures: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of… #SciComm #DataViz #OpenScience #OpenData #ClimateChange #ClimateScience

I'd like to introduce a new page on my website: U.S. climate indicator visuals: zacklabe.com/united-states-…) I only have a few basic variables so far, but I will be expanding this summer to add a range of metrics (e.g., ecological). Hope this is useful, and you are welcome to share.

The Trump administration is proposing that NOAA reduce its annual budget by $1.8 billion and fire 2,000 full-time employees. That includes the closure of a laboratory in Princeton, a staple of weather forecasting and climate modeling since 1955. ow.ly/3i8w50WkKjf

🌡️HEAT ADVISORY in effect for parts of Northern Alaska through 10pm AKDT -- particularly in the Plains near Umiat. @NWSFairbanks is forecasting high temperatures 80°-90°F. 🔴Excessive, early July, 20°F above average heat is RARE & now 3x to 5x more likely due to climate change

I have a new 'climate viz of the month' blog posted, which dives into a visualization and description of future Arctic sea ice cover: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of… #SciComm #DataViz #OpenScience #OpenData #ClimateChange

Today is #ShowYourStripes Day 🔵🔴 A single image. A century of data. Every city, state, county -- the planet -- has an impact of climate change story — and the stripes show it. Post yours. Highlight the warming where you live. Start the conversation.

It’s hot. Almost half of the U.S. (around 174 million people!) is being affected by a climate change-driven heat wave expected to last into next week. Human-caused climate change made this extreme heat at least 3 times more likely. Let’s break it down: climatecentral.org/climate-shift-… 1/5

My next 'climate viz of the month' blog is posted and discusses overall changes to #Arctic springtime snow cover: zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of… #DataViz #SciComm #OpenData #OpenScience #OpenAccess

Over the last few weeks, I've added quite a few new data visualizations on my global indicators (zacklabe.com/climate-change…) and polar climate pages (zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice…). They will be updated in near-real time, so feel free to share them!

"This new system aims to provide crucial insights within weeks or months of an event, when the information can most effectively guide adaptation strategies and help communities make informed decisions about their future." (studyfinds.org/heat-wave-fuel…) Paper: doi.org/10.1088/2752-5…
