4yr after global pledge to end #deforestation, amount of money going toward conserving and restoring forests is not enough
By providing habitat to over 80% of all animals, plants and insects on land, healthy forests are key to sustaining life on #Earth. They also help regulate #weather patterns and global #climate. Trees and other plants absorb atmosphere-warming #carbondioxide.

Sudden loss of key US satellite data could send hurricane forecasting back βdecadesβ
A critical US atmospheric data collection program will be halted by Monday, giving weather forecasters just days to prepare, according to a public notice sent this week. Scientists that the Guardian spoke with say the change could set hurricane forecasting back βdecadesβ, just as this yearβs season ramps up.

Brace for impact. The #ECMWF #weather #model promises scorching temperatures over #Europe the coming week. Anomalies of up to 15-20 C higher than normal are expected.
This weather is brought to you by climate change (for those who claim it's been hot before: weather is what happens, climate is the probability it happens. And this has become significantly more probable because greenhouse gases and physics.)
Boston (and here in Cambridge) is at The Highest Temperature It's Ever Been Today
The highest temperature recorded was 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 Celsius) on July 4, 1911.
2:15 PM and we have matched that Record. And It Could Potentially Break that Record.

Here is our 11:15 PM ET update on #Idalia, and it's rather grim for the Big Bend and Apalachee Bay, where as much as 12 to 16 feet of water may arrive Wed AM. Winds are now 110 mph near the center, and Idalia landfall is expected as a Cat 4. Major hurricane force winds will come close to #tallahassee Lots of details and most questions answered in our post.

Officially erased my bird site presence this morning and with it my associated contacts. I haven't seen a wide-scale migration yet of the #weather / #wxtwitter community, which accounted for half of my Twitter contacts.
As a sort of final #introduction post and calling card for the weather community, one of my primary uses of Twitter was to share my #WeatherPhotography and #storm reports. I'll probably continue to share weather and #climate content here! CW's as needed. Some of my faves below.
Some plants can monitor #environmental #conditions around them and release #seeds at times #optimal for #dispersal.
#Dandelion seeds close up a bit in #wet #weather and don't travel as far as in their more open, #dry weather form. New #research (Seale et al. 2022) shows that dandelions hold on to seeds in wet weather and release them more in dry weather.
Do #plants exhibit #behavior? I would argue, yes.

Environmental morphing enables informed dispersal of the dandelion diaspore
The dandelion diaspore changes its shape depending on the moisture levels in the air, and this morphing enhances the dispersal potential of the seeds regardless of the weather conditions.Madeleine Seale (eLife Sciences Publications, Ltd)
The creek crossings about an hour ago (still not passable).
It has since started really bucketing down again, so they'll be higher and faster by now.
