Any climate scientists want to talk to me for my newsletter about this reversal? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Residents of the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory, are no strangers to tropical cyclones, but climate change is supercharging storms and disrupting education on the islands. This story by @rachelreports.bsky.social was originally published by @climateconnections.bsky.social.

No Asian American songwriters on the list? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

April 22 is #EarthDay & it’s also my 30th birthday. This year, the best gift I could ask for is you to help my home. My heart is with my family, friends, and communities currently recovering from Typhoon Sinlaku. I’d be so grateful if you donated and sent aid their way instead. linktr.ee/sinlaku

I’m looking to talk to climate scientists/meteorologists who have analyzed Super Typhoon Sinlaku’s characteristics as it barreled through the Northern Mariana Islands, particularly the wind speed and how it seemingly stalled longer than usual. Please DM me!

CCNow’s Andrew McCormick and Kyle Pope were in Chicago this week for #SEJ2016. They talked with @rachelreports.bsky.social about the power of community for climate journalists. It’s a tough beat and connecting in person is, as Rachel says, so important. We agree!

My fam texted me this video. The whiplash, the agonizing sound …

Expert panelists: ⭐ Aparna Mukherjee, @sejorg.bsky.social ⭐ @rachelreports.bsky.social, The Confluence ⭐ Mark Hertsgaard, CCNow CCNow’s @kylepope01.bsky.social will moderate. Come with questions! And watch out for the release of the ‘State of Climate Journalism’ white paper this Thursday

📣 State of Climate Journalism webinar 🌡️ Join us this Thursday, April 16, at 12pm ET, for a conversation launching a new CCNow white paper about the state of climate journalism. We're broadcasting from @sejorg.bsky.social's annual conference! RSVP: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I’m seeing coverage of Typhoon Sinlaku only highlighting Guam. A reminder that the storm shifted and is now passing the Northern Mariana Islands, a separate U.S. territory just north of Guam. Specifically, the eye of the storm will track close, if not over, the islands of Saipan and Tinian.

It’s only April. Preparing for typhoons is not unfamiliar to me but to do so during April … for a super typhoon? The likelihood of a super typhoon developing in the Mariånas in April is historically very low, since peak typhoon season typically runs from August to November.

When a typhoon comes barreling toward my home islands, it rarely makes it to major news outlets this fast, so thank you @nytimes.com for tracking. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Typhoon Sinlaku is now on track for the Northern Marianas. Be safe friends & family 🥺

Although Papua New Guinea Minister for Fisheries Jelta Wong publicly committed to delivering laboratory investigation results of the country's contaminated waters by March 31st, the government missed the deadline without issuing any statement, writes @rachelreports.bsky.social.

Our burning of fossil fuels is melting sea ice and drowning emperor penguin chicks, putting them in danger of extinction. 😱

My newsletter, The Confluence, brings you original reporting and writing that tells ocean stories connecting science and social justice. My latest is about a toxic marine event in Papua New Guinea, where dead fish have been washing ashore for months. Subscribe now for FREE: theconfluence.news

NEW: Entering the fourth month of a health emergency triggered by a mass marine die-off, neglected coastal towns in New Ireland Province, Papua New Guinea, are still waiting on government action. This story by @rachelreports.bsky.social is produced by The Confluence and co-published by The Xylom:

Schools of fish are dying across a number of sites in New Ireland, while 1,000+ people have reported skin burns, respiratory illnesses & gastrointestinal symptoms after being in contact with the ocean. As of April 7, locals are still waiting on government action. theconfluence.news/p/toxic-tide...

As Americans face rising gas prices and the threat of higher inflation, “it is becoming clearer who is making “a lot of money”: defense contractors and oil companies.” Good analysis from @theguardian.com. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a Blind Rohingya refugee who was left on the freezing streets of Buffalo by Border Patrol officers, was ruled a homicide. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
