Update. After the National Academy of Sciences (#NAS) refused in March to delete the chapter on #climate science from its reference manual for judges…

…the #Trump admin jacked up the pressure, in part through the juvenile insults on Truth Social. The NAS has now deleted the chapter.

Update. It turns out that the National Academies of Science (#NAS) did 𝗻𝗼𝘁 acquiesce in this #censorship of #climate science.petersuber (FediScience.org)
While the #Trump #EPA starts repealing #climate regulations…

…the Federal Judicial Center (#FJC) is removing the chapter on climate science from its "reference manual" advising federal judges on scientific issues. The removal was recommended by 27 #Republican attorneys general.

PS: The FJC manual is prepared with the National Academies of Science (#NAS). But I can't tell whether NAS acquiesced in this move. Does anyone know?
Thanks to RealClimate.org for posting the deleted 91-page chapter on climate science.

EDIT. I meant to update this post with the NAS decision, but inadvertently made it a separate post rather than a reply in the same thread. Here it is (March 18, 2026).

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🐕🧬 Archaeologist Peter Mitchell’s new #book draws on #archaeology, #genetics, and #ethnography to argue that #dogs and #humans evolved together as partners over roughly 15,000 years.
Dogs developed specialized traits matching each region’s #climate and needs, from #Arctic sled dogs built for hauling to agile #tropical hunting dogs, resulting in a varied set of co-evolutionary paths across the globe.

Bab-el-Mandeb strait was supposed to be the “backup” route when the Strait of Hormuz became a war zone.
The latest sinking of a vessel in Bab-el-Mandeb makes one thing abundantly clear: Global economies can’t afford to be held hostage by fossil fuel chokepoints.
Reminder: there is a much more stable and safe route to power our world that is already available. It’s called Renewable Energy 👇🏽

And all we need to do is stop burning oil and coal, we have half of it built now, this AINT HARD. NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
Dont need to learn a new philosophy, art style, eating program or prevent construction of schools.
Just build solar, build wind, build grids,and SAVE MONEY. Because the new energy is CHEAPER than oil, and it doesnt RUN OUT, or get held up in the middle east.
Just effing build it all.now
Just build it
Its NOT ROCKET SCIENCE OR SECRET!!
