Meanwhile, the United States has already seen more than 4 million acres burn in 2026, with over 42,000 wildfires reported nationwide. #SaveUSFS

I’ve never been to Climate Week NYC: please tell me why I should or shouldn’t go this year

Fires depend on: ♨️ Weather ⚡ Ignition 🍂 Fuel 🧯 Suppression In North America: ♨️ Climate change = hotter and drier ⚡Ignition = no real change 🍂 Fire deficit = more fuel 🧯Warmer nights = suppression is hard What should we do? 📉 Cut emissions ✅ 🔥 Controlled burns ✅ 🍁 Rake more? ❌ 🇨🇦 Be mean to Canada ❌

Trump’s cut rate contractors apparently drove over and broke the recently renovated German American friendship memorial

I like that you and xkcd both referenced Excalibur at the same time: m.xkcd.com

I'm in the "comment on everything!" phase of my career - see my post for counts of comments on the last four proposed regulations, and five more regs waiting for new comments: open.substack.com/pub/thesarap...

I thought your immigration book was masterful. I read smbc every day. And I’m buying a copy of Sawyer Lee for a friend’s kid who is a definite homebody. Thank you for all your creativity!

Good job everyone! Keep writing those comments!

@cjsmith.eu I’d be particularly interested in your thoughts

For the FaIR experts in my audience, I would appreciate feedback (pun not originally intended) - are these processes already in FaIR? Was my approach to adding on a back-end estimate appropriate? Are any worth integrating into base FaIR?

My latest post is about feedbacks. The first half is a primer, then second half is new results from adding additional feedbacks to the FaIR model. open.substack.com/pub/thesarap...

What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

Reminder that the deadline is tomorrow to comment on the OPM proposal to require NDAs from all government employees (substack.com/home/post/p-...) (along with the Post Office comment deadline of July 2nd, and the OMB politicizing science deadline on July 13th).

That is truly shocking. I had found similar results looking at budget requests (open.substack.com/pub/thesarap...) but to see it in actual spending is even more disheartening

As a former EPA scientist, I found this interview very on point e360.yale.edu/features/tho...

The Trump Swamp - I decided to see this symbol of corruption and incompetence for myself.

Another opportunity for comment: the administration is trying to sell leases in Ohio's Wayne National Forest for fracking. See substack.com/home/post/p-... for details. Also, remember that the Trump Arch comment deadline is tonight. substack.com/home/post/p-...

See my latest post on comments you can make opposing proposed regulations from this administration on science funding, NDAs for civil servants, post office regulations on mail-in ballots, and the Trump Triumphal Arch. open.substack.com/pub/thesarap...
