I've done my first Substack post, about my imminent retirement. Not sure how this will work out. budw.substack.com/p/knowing-when…


An increasingly vital question: Whether to remain on the new Twitter. And if so, how? Life without twitter appears increasingly attractive, doesn't it?

Last year, it was Hurricane Ida interrupting Mississippi River barge traffic for weeks. This year, it's low water levels from drought. Climate change-amplified extreme weather is a major danger to key trade chokepoints like the Mississippi River. yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/10/missis…

Last week the U.S. Drought Monitor reported the highest fraction of abnormal dryness/drought (81.78% of the contiguous U.S.) in the monitor's 23-year history. This week the record was toppled again, with 82.23%. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…


This update from @DrJeffMasters , Weather Underground and Yale Climate Connecions regular contributor @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/10/tropic… No major storm activity in tropical Atlantic appears likely for at least the next week.

We have tropical cyclone threats near Mexico's Pacific coast, in the Indian Ocean by Bangladesh, and to the east of the Philippines. Thankfully, nothing is brewing in the Atlantic. Bob Henson and I cover all this in our Friday afternoon post: yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/10/tropic…

Yale Climate Connections meteorologists @DrJeffMasters and @bhenson offer powerful insights about climate risks to Puerto Rico.

Poweroutage.us reports that 2/3 of Puerto Rico's customers are still without power after Hurricane Fiona. Unfortunately, the island is likely to see in increase in intense hurricane rain events like Fiona because of a warming climate: yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/warmin…



If one of U.S.'s most widely quoted #ClimateCrisis scientists is still hopeful and optimistic -- @MichaelEMann -- you should be too. Just keep focusing on 'solutions' to the climate challenges. @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/scient…


Guess who's taking the money hit for climate damages. Most often, it's local city governments. Take Ohio's capital #Columbus. One example among many. @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/stuck-…

The numbers are in: Our planet's human-warmed climate assaulted the Northern Hemisphere with widespread record heat in summer 2022. @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/hottes…

As it spins less than 150 miles south of San Diego, sprawling Tropical Storm #Kay is bringing wind gusts of 50-100 mph and heavy rain to coastal mountains. Kay's outer bands could drench San Diego and Los Angeles with a half inch or more of rain. yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/fierce…


Time to "dramatically transform our food system for the 21st century climate in a sustainable way that does not damage key Earth," @DrJeffMasters writes in part 2 of major #FoodInsecurity feature @CC_Yale ecosystems. yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/ags-ch…

#Kay is an unusually large hurricane on an unusual track. After dumping torrential rains in far W Mexico, it'll funnel huge amounts of moisture into SoCal. Welcome rains and cooling will be accompanied by serious flash-flood risk in some areas. @CC_Yale yaleclimateconnections.org/2022/09/kay-ma…
