Why do politicians of democratic parties no longer react to #climatedata by #climatescientists in any rational way? Why do they not take any fast measures to cut down human climate-hazardous emissions to mitigate the #climatecrisis, in a socially fair way? Why do they not cooperate to combat #disinformation on the #climatecrisis, even in Parliaments, by far-right politicians?

How could all those clever #ClimateScientists have missed the obvious remedy to the effects of #ClimateChange ?
They really should listen to the #experts on #FaceBook .
It is now obvious that the issue of flooding in cities is entirely the result of local councils not clearing away the leaves from drains. Hardly any flooding in the 80s when councils were doing their job properly.
Thank you Reform Southampton for bringing this to our attention.
Any more obvious solutions from the Facebook experts?
Please boost.
We need the wisdom of the masses to save humanity.

This Bird of Paradise Canna has survived two Pennsylvania winters. The vast majority of climate scientists (over 97%, with some studies showing over 99%) agree that climate change is happening and that human activity is the primary cause. #globalwarming #climatechange #climatescience #climatescientists

Trump talks ‘#FreeSpeech’ while moving to muzzle those he disagrees with
By Kevin Rector
Jan. 26, 2025- As part of a broader rollout of executive orders, President Trump called for an end to government censorship, including on social media.
- Critics said they found the order absurd given Trump’s long record attacking speech and his other actions aimed at curtailing the speech of journalists, government experts, LGBTQ+ people and others."In one of his first acts in office, President Trump issued an executive order promising to end government censorship and restore free speech.
"The order accused the outgoing Biden administration of harassing social media companies and violating the rights of ordinary Americans “under the guise” of combating disinformation online, and said federal resources would no longer be used to “unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen.”
"The order echoed a recurring theme from Trump’s campaign — that liberals across the federal government are censoring conservative voices to advance their own '#woke' agenda — and immediately resonated with his followers.
"'This order is a critical step to ensure the government cannot dictate what speech is permissible or weaponize private entities to enforce censorship,' said Mark Trammell of the Center for American Liberty, a conservative rights group founded by California attorney Harmeet K. Dhillon, Trump’s nominee to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. [Oh, but it's OKAY for Trump & crew to censor others?!!]
"However, many others said they found Trump’s order absurd — both because of his long track record of attacking speech he doesn’t like, and because of his new administration’s simultaneous efforts to muzzle people it disagrees with, including #journalists, federal #HealthOfficials, #teachers, #diplomats, #ClimateScientists and the #LGBTQ+ community." [And now they are doing it by cutting FUNDING!!!]

Firings at US #weather and #oceans agency risk lives and economy, former agency heads warn
By SETH BORENSTEIN
Updated 9:48 AM EST, March 1, 2025WASHINGTON (AP) — "The federal weather and oceans agency touches people’s daily lives in unnoticed ways, so massive firings there will likely cause needless deaths and a big hit to America’s economy, according to the people who ran it.
"The first round of firings started Thursday at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a government agency that monitors the oceans, the atmosphere where storms roam and space, and puts out hundreds of 'products' daily. Those products generally save lives and money, experts say.
"#NOAA’s 301 billion weather forecasts every year reach 96% of American households.
The firings are 'going to affect safety of flight, safety of shipping, safety of everyday Americans,' Admiral Tim Gallaudet told The Associated Press Friday. President Donald Trump appointed Gallaudet as acting NOAA chief during his last administration. 'Lives are at risk for sure.'
"Former NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad agreed.
"'We’re getting into prime #tornado time. We’re getting into #planting season for the agricultural season for the bread belt,' Spinrad said. 'It’s going to affect safety. It’s going to affect the economy.'"

#ClimateScientists often underestimate the importance of the WMO - it's not as visible to us as IPCC say and the focus has long been on #WeatherForecasts but #ClimateScience is very much built on the infrastructure of #weather - the in-situ observations, the satellites and the numerical models originally developed for forecasting. #ClimateDiary

"Million-dollar legal victory shines light on conservatives’ attacks on #science
A long legal battle ended Thursday when a jury found that two conservative writers defamed the prominent climate scientist #MichaelMann. William Brangham looks at what this verdict means and speaks with another renowned #scientist who’s also endured this kind of vitriol, Dr. Peter Hotez."
-
Mann, prof at U Penn, sued Simberg and Steyn for online posts published over a decade ago by Competitive Enterprise Institute and the National Review.
Mann is partly responsible for one of the most consequential graphs in #climatescience, one that helped make the steep rise in global average temperatures from fossil fuel use understandable to a wide audience.
Mann: "I hope this verdict sends a message that falsely attacking #climatescientists is not protected speech."

August 2023 - Seascape: the state of our oceans
Endless fallout: the Pacific idyll still facing nuclear blight 77 years on
The film Oppenheimer has shone a global spotlight on the dawn of US nuclear weapons tests. In the #MarshallIslands, where 23 of those earth-shattering blasts happened, people have never been able to forget
by Lucy Sherriff
Fri 25 Aug 2023 03.00 EDT"At first glance, the aquamarine waters that surround the Marshall Islands seem like paradise. But this idyllic #Pacific scene hides a dark secret: it was the location of 67 #nuclear detonations as part of US military tests during the #ColdWar between 1946 and 1958.
"The bombs were exploded above ground and underwater on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls, including one device 1,100 times larger than the Hiroshima atom bomb. Chernobyl-like levels of radiation forced hundreds from their homes. #BikiniAtoll remains deserted. At the US government’s urging, residents have begun returning slowly to #Enewetak.
"Today, there is little visible evidence of the tests on the islands except for a 115-metre (377ft)-wide cement dome that locals nickname the Tomb – for good reason.
"Built in the late 1970s and now aged and cracking, the huge concrete lid on #RunitIsland covers more than 90,000 cubic metres (3.1m cubic ft) – or roughly 35 Olympic-sized swimming pools – of radioactive soil and nuclear waste. Unbeknown to the #Marshallese people, the US shipped the waste from #Nevada, where it was testing nuclear weapons on #NativeAmerican land.
"The legacy of America’s nuclear testing on #IndigenousCommunities both on the US mainland and its territories has come under renewed scrutiny with the release of Oppenheimer, the blockbuster film about the physicist who led development of the atomic bomb.
"Although his team tested the nuclear weapons on Native American land – there were 928 large-scale nuclear weapons tests in #Nevada, #Utah and #Arizona during the cold war, dispersing huge clouds of radioactive material – the film never mentions the impact of the testing on the local Native Americans.
"'The film completely ignores the experiences of our people,' says #IanZabarte, principal man of the Western Bands of the #ShoshoneNation – who have been described as 'the most bombed nation on earth'.
"Zabarte is attempting to forge connections with those Pacific Islanders who were similarly affected by #NuclearTesting. Earlier this year, he met representatives from the Marshall Islands when they visited Nevada to discuss the effects on their health from nuclear weapons testing.
“'The health impacts on our people have never been investigated,' Zabarte says. 'We have never received an apology, let alone any kind of compensation.'
"Separately, a band of Marshallese activists are now sailing around the country’s 29 atolls, along with #Artists and #ClimateScientists, on a 12-day tour that aims to raise awareness of nuclear testing on the archipelago.
"The 520-mile ocean voyage is being operated by Cape Farewell, a cultural programme founded by the British artist David Buckland and funded by the Waverley Street Foundation, Laurene Powell Jobs’s climate charity.
"'Cancers continue from generation to generation,' says Alson Kelen, a master navigator and community elder who grew up on Bikini Atoll and is joining the expedition.
"'If you ask anyone here if there’s a legacy of nuclear impact on their health, the answer would be yes. The Marshall Islands Nuclear Claim Tribunal has a list of #cancers that are related to nuclear throughout our people. These cancers are hereditary.'
"The US maintains that the Marshall Islands are safe. It seized them from #Japan in 1944, and eventually granted the islands independence in 1979, but the fledgling nation remained in 'free association' with the US. Under this system, along with #Micronesia and #Palau, the Marshall Islands are self-governing but economically remain largely dependent on Washington, which also retains a military presence. Today it continues to use the US dollar, and American aid still represents a large percentage of its GDP.
"In 1988, an independent international tribunal was established to adjudicate between the two countries, and it later ordered the US to pay $2.3bn (£1.8bn) to the Marshall Islands in healthcare and resettlement costs.
"The US government has refused, arguing that its liabilities ended when it paid $600m in the 1990s. In 1998, the US stopped providing medical care for cancer-stricken islanders, leaving many in financial hardship."

Today it continues to use the US dollar, and American aid still represents a large percentage of its GDP.
"In 1988, an independent international tribunal was established to adjudicate between the two countries, and it later ordered the US to pay $2.3bn (£1.8bn) to the Marshall Islands in healthcare and resettlement costs.
"The US government has refused, arguing that its liabilities ended when it paid $600m in the 1990s. In 1998, the US stopped providing medical care for cancer-stricken islanders, leaving many in financial hardship."

Endless fallout: the Pacific idyll still facing nuclear blight 77 years on
The film Oppenheimer has shone a global spotlight on the dawn of US nuclear weapons tests. In the #MarshallIslands, where 23 of those earth-shattering blasts happened, people have never been able to forget

Fri 25 Aug 2023 03.00 EDT"At first glance, the aquamarine waters that surround the Marshall Islands seem like paradise. But this idyllic #Pacific scene hides a dark secret: it was the location of 67 #nuclear detonations as part of US military tests during the #ColdWar between 1946 and 1958.
"The bombs were exploded above ground and underwater on Bikini and Enewetak Atolls, including one device 1,100 times larger than the Hiroshima atom bomb. Chernobyl-like levels of radiation forced hundreds from their homes. #BikiniAtoll remains deserted. At the US government’s urging, residents have begun returning slowly to #Enewetak.
"Today, there is little visible evidence of the tests on the islands except for a 115-metre (377ft)-wide cement dome that locals nickname the Tomb – for good reason.
"Built in the late 1970s and now aged and cracking, the huge concrete lid on #RunitIsland covers more than 90,000 cubic metres (3.1m cubic ft) – or roughly 35 Olympic-sized swimming pools – of radioactive soil and nuclear waste. Unbeknown to the #Marshallese people, the US shipped the waste from #Nevada, where it was testing nuclear weapons on #NativeAmerican land.
"The legacy of America’s nuclear testing on #IndigenousCommunities both on the US mainland and its territories has come under renewed scrutiny with the release of Oppenheimer, the blockbuster film about the physicist who led development of the atomic bomb.
"Although his team tested the nuclear weapons on Native American land – there were 928 large-scale nuclear weapons tests in #Nevada, #Utah and #Arizona during the cold war, dispersing huge clouds of radioactive material – the film never mentions the impact of the testing on the local Native Americans.
"'The film completely ignores the experiences of our people,' says #IanZabarte, principal man of the Western Bands of the #ShoshoneNation – who have been described as 'the most bombed nation on earth'.
"Zabarte is attempting to forge connections with those Pacific Islanders who were similarly affected by #NuclearTesting. Earlier this year, he met representatives from the Marshall Islands when they visited Nevada to discuss the effects on their health from nuclear weapons testing.
“'The health impacts on our people have never been investigated,' Zabarte says. 'We have never received an apology, let alone any kind of compensation.'
"Separately, a band of Marshallese activists are now sailing around the country’s 29 atolls, along with #Artists and #ClimateScientists, on a 12-day tour that aims to raise awareness of nuclear testing on the archipelago.
"The 520-mile ocean voyage is being operated by Cape Farewell, a cultural programme founded by the British artist David Buckland and funded by the Waverley Street Foundation, Laurene Powell Jobs’s climate charity.
"'Cancers continue from generation to generation,' says Alson Kelen, a master navigator and community elder who grew up on Bikini Atoll and is joining the expedition.
"'If you ask anyone here if there’s a legacy of nuclear impact on their health, the answer would be yes. The Marshall Islands Nuclear Claim Tribunal has a list of #cancers that are related to nuclear throughout our people. These cancers are hereditary.'

Hi Kelly,
welcome to the #Fediverse.
With your ambitious goals, I think you've come to the right place, as the scientific community is particularly strong here.
E.g., most of the #ClimateScientists have migrated here from the #BorgSite, also known as the #DeadBirdSite.Things here work differently, so you might find these things useful to enjoy your presence here:
