Five former directors of the National Weather Service are warning that additional cuts to the agency’s staffing could lead to unnecessary deaths during severe weather such as tornadoes, wildfires and hurricanes. “Our worst nightmare is that weather forecast offices will be so understaffed that there will be needless loss of life. We know that’s a nightmare shared by those on the forecasting front lines—and by the people who depend on their efforts,” they wrote in an open letter published Friday.

During Antarctica’s warm season, the sleek Norwegian passenger ship known as the MS Fridtjof Nansendeparts regularly from Argentina for its journey south across the turbulent Drake Passage, down to the Antarctic Peninsula. The cruise carries wealthy adventurers, bucket listers and, increasingly, polar scientists looking to gather data as public funding for Antarctic research vanishes under the Trump administration.

Rain in Antarctica isn’t just a sign of climate change. It’s also part of a feedback loop that accelerates global warming. Climate change is bringing a new threat to penguins that live on the Antarctic peninsula on the western side of the continent. It's the second-fastest warming part of the icy landmass, where it already rains an average of 50 days every year. But French scientists project by the end of this century, that will more than triple.

Scientists use computer models to project how hot earth will get as humans burn more oil and gas. But it turns out those models have a bit of a blind-spot: exactly how much of the sun’s energy gets reflected back to space from the snow and ice at our poles. As a result, scientists may have been underestimating global warming. National climate reporter Chase Cain traveled to Antarctica to see how tiny changes in color there can lead to big changes in temperature for the entire planet.

🚨 Americans will die during severe weather events because of cuts to the @NWS — that's the warning from EVERY LIVING FORMER director of the National Weather Service ⛈️ The 5 men led the agency under every president from Reagan to Trump's first term https://t.co/6FhsgEBoIx

“There will be people who die in extreme weather events and weather-related disasters who would not have otherwise.”
I have written a short statement responding to mass firings today of #NOAA / National Weather Service (#NWS) staff (which were concentrated among recent hires as well as highly experienced staff who had recently been promoted).
