In New York State, we still have lots of mom & pop operations. For the most part, the two big conglomerates haven't come to the state, at least Central NY and the Adirondacks. The two biggest NY ski areas are owned by the state.

Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

As a historian of science, I was raised to think rejecting science was a pathology of anti-democratic governments. Well, this might be the proof of that.

I'm from Syracuse, New York. Snowiest city in the country. We've been doing nothing in the face of snowstorms and blizzards for a couple centuries. ✊

I've been thinking about this a lot. In some of Trump's "statements" about Greenland, he goes on and on about how big it is and should belong to the U.S. I'm sure he has no understanding of how the Mercator projection makes G. look so big on a map.

A man stands outside his home with a wary eye on the inferno tearing through the nearby forest. "I should probably acknowledge this climate-change worsened fire bearing down on me and my family threatening our survival, our home, and our life's savings. But doing so would make me feel a bit girly."

But climate change even has a hand in that. The Great Lakes used to freeze over more often and earlier which would shut off the lake-effect snow machine. But now with somewhat warmer winters, the lakes are more likely to remain ice-free.

One good thing about leaving living in Syracuse, New York, the snowiest city in the US, is that we definitely still get snow days. My son has had a couple snow days in the past few weeks as well as a couple of late starts.

The EPA is wiping mention of human-caused climate change from its website Some pages have been tweaked to emphasize β€˜natural forces’; others have been deleted entirely.

Salmon clear last Klamath dams, reaching Williamson and Sprague rivers Just a year after four dams were removed, a group of fall Chinook have migrated nearly 300 miles into the Upper Klamath Basin.

My heart was jubilant while reading this story this morning - more than 100 Chinook salmon have passed the former Klamath River dam sites as well as the fish ladder at Klamath Lake and are naturally spawning in Oregon headwaters for the first time in over a century! 🐟πŸ§ͺ🌎

Look for clips of Robert Redford from the late 60s or the 70s wearing a sports jacket. Find a couple of similar ones today that fit you well. Done.

First they came for Religious Studies, and I did nothing. Then they came for History, and I did nothing. Then they came for Earth and Atmospheric Sciences and I...wait Earth sciences?! Even the hardcore STEM disciplines aren't safe?! Things really are bad...

Yes. Great article. And I appreciated the quotes and references to our fellow environmental historian, Paul Josephson.

'A lot of folks are terrified': FEMA joins EPA in retaliation against dissenting staff The result of all that is an obvious chilling of the federal workforce's speech.

Hey is it good that FEMA is suspending employees that warned publicly that the agency isn't ready to manage disasters with the peak of hurricane season two weeks away
