NOAA NEDTalk - #PlanetaryClimates: Exploring climate in other planets and our Earth

"Celebrate NOAA DataFest and World Space Week 2024 with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)! This year’s World Space Week theme, Space & Climate Change, highlights the essential role of space science in understanding and addressing the challenges of climate change on Earth. Join us for “Planetary Climates: Exploring Climate on Other Planets and Our Earth."

@LnzyHou Perhaps. But: that means it is up to us as citizens to speak up about #ClimateChange to our leaders again and again as needed. Frustrating and repetitive, but absolutely necessary to fight against ignorance, climate denial and pseudoscience. Fight like your world depends on it, because it does.

#WDEFWeather #News12Weather #BlipCast Friday Evening: Fine finish to the week. Weekend looks good. Expecting a new storm system next week that could pack a punch.

“The technologies needed to achieve it are available, at a competitive price, today. Investment in low-carbon technologies – electric vehicles, heat pumps and renewables – needs to come now for this target to be achievable. Businesses will start to invest when they have confidence in what the government’s long-term policy plans are. We need to see the government’s commitment to climate reflected in the upcoming budget.” - #CarbonBrief

"Where does my idea of progress stand?

The glib answer: Ask me again in four years.

The serious answer: The energy transition can be slowed, but it can’t be stopped. Considering the urgency of #climatechange, any slowing is a problem, but I remain confident that people will figure this out, even if progress isn’t a straight line." #InsideClimateNews.org

"Data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters indicate that maximum
sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some further strengthening is possible during the next
couple of days if the center of Sara remains offshore of the
northern coast of Honduras."

NASA and Forest Service Use Balloon to Help Firefighters Communicate

“This project leverages NASA expertise to address real problems,” said Don Sullivan, principal investigator for STRATO at NASA Ames. “We do a lot of experimental, forward-thinking work, but this is something that is operational and can make an immediate impact.”
