The Trump administration is trying to change what science is allowed to be taught, and now a West Point professor who taught there for 17 years says he is being pushed out after speaking up about it.

Dr. Adam Kalkstein says he was ordered to remove information about the human causes of climate change from his curriculum. When he pushed back, he said it made him feel like “a liar and a fraud.” Now West Point has decided not to renew his appointment.

It’s just silly. These are future military leaders. Climate change is going to affect bases, disasters, the Arctic, national security and conflicts for decades. They need to understand it. Pretending the science doesn’t exist doesn’t prepare anyone for the future.

John Scheve - Global average 2 meter height air...

Global average 2 meter height air temperature is now + 1.69 degrees C (+ 3.04 degrees F) above the 1850-1900 baseline. We are likely rocketing to well above + 2 degrees C (+ 3.6 degrees F) in early 2027. There is no sugar coating this. Even though this temperature jump will be largely due to the record intensity El Niño and should ease back slightly by late 2027, the higher that margin goes the more mutual amplifications of climate feedbacks will occur, the more new feedbacks will kick in, and the more tipping points will be crossed irreversibly. There is unfortunately a growing possibility that Antarctic sea ice will shrink so dramatically this coming austral summer - reducing Earth’s reflectivity so much that the atmosphere will continue warming after this El Niño - which would trigger other feedbacks that dramatically accelerate global atmospheric warming to a runaway degree.

We are playing with not just fire but with a bomb in that further warming will trigger massive releases of methane and carbon dioxide from the melting of Arctic tundra and frozen sea floor hydrates on shallow sea floors and shelves in the Arctic plus around Antarctica.

The Holocene which began 11,700 years ago and enabled the rise of human civilization is no more. There is no going back to it barring rapid and massive greenhouse gas emissions reductions to near zero PLUS massive reductions of existing greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere PLUS developing and implementing some method of stopping the massive acceleration of uppermost ocean heat uptake. This is a long shot and it depends not only on global cooperation and resolve by all humanity working together but also on technologies yet to be developed. But we must give it all we’ve got or the warming trajectory we are on leads inexorably to extinction.

The Trump administration has pulled federal funding for the Arctic Report Card, an annual scientific assessment that has tracked the rapidly changing Arctic for the past two decades. This report documents what is actually happening across one of the fastest-warming regions on Earth disappearing sea ice, shrinking snow cover, thinning glaciers, changing ecosystems, expanding vegetation and increasingly severe wildfires.

The Earth is about to catch a morbid fever that may last as long as 100,000 years – James Lovelock

"We are in a fool’s climate, accidentally kept cool by smoke, and before this century is over billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic where the climate remains tolerable."

The Planetary Domino Effect - Global Climate Teleconnections & Feedback Cascades
https://drtomharris.substack.com/p/the-planetary-domino-effect-global

“Historically, these two phenomena were treated as isolated anomalies. The cold blob is linked to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) slowing down as less warm water is transported there and melting ice freshens the North Atlantic. The monsoon disruption is tied to shifts in the jet stream, driven by Arctic amplification narrowing the temperature gradient between the tropics and the pole.

However, a groundbreaking study has revealed that these two phenomena are not just parallel symptoms of climate change—the monsoon shift is a direct result of the Atlantic cold blob.1 Linked by a massive atmospheric teleconnection, a wind reconfiguration known as a barotropic governor mechanism strengthens the jet stream’s core while weakening adjacent regions, ultimately redistributing India’s rainfall. As we discover more about the planet’s inner workings, it is becoming clear that our shift from environmental normality is highly interconnected. These networks can provide temporary stability through dampening feedbacks, but they also possess the terrifying capacity to trigger domino-like cascading effects, leading to non-linear accelerations of global impacts.”

The Nordic heatwave that pushed temperatures above 30C (86F) in the Arctic Circle in July was part of a record-breaking year that saw abnormal heat sear more than 95% of Europe, a report has found.

Parts of Scandinavia were scorched last summer by 21 days of punishingly hot weather that led to “tropical nights” in typically cool countries such as Norway, Sweden and Finland, according to a scientific report campaigners said showed “all the emergency warning lights are flashing red”.

The scientists found temperatures in Europe have risen by 0.56C per decade since the mid-1990s – faster than any other continent on the planet

Arctic Winter Sea Ice Ties Record Low, NASA, NSIDC Scientists Find - NASA Science
https://science.nasa.gov/earth/arctic-winter-sea-ice-2026/

The Arctic just hit its lowest winter sea ice level in 48 years of recorded history for the second year in a row. On March 15, Arctic sea ice peaked at just 5.52 million square miles a statistical tie with last year’s record low. To put that in perspective, the missing ice compared to the 1981–2010 average is roughly twice the size of Texas. And it’s not just shrinking scientists say it’s also much thinner and more fragile than it used to be, with sea ice near the North Pole recording record-low thickness for several months now.

Zack:
“Astonishingly, sea ice still hasn't started to reform over the Barents Sea area yet of the #Arctic. This includes record low conditions around Svalbard as well. It's been a very bad few months across the region.”

Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum today announced that he will open the entire 1.56 million acres of the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas leasing. These lands are sacred to the Gwich’in Nation, home to irreplaceable wildlife, wilderness and cultural values, and have never seen industrialization.

In an action taken during a government shutdown, the Department of Interior held a press conference to announce a series of resource development actions aimed at opening up Alaska for the benefit of corporate polluters. A key announcement made today was the rescission of the Biden administration’s drilling program for the refuge. The Department of the Interior (DOI) is instead replacing that program with a previous Trump-era plan that fully opens the Coastal Plain of the Refuge to maximum oil and gas development.

BEIJING, Oct 14 (Reuters) - A Chinese container ship has completed a pioneering journey through the Arctic to a UK port, state-run news agency Xinhua reported, cutting in half the usual transit time for the electric vehicles and solar panels aboard destined for Europe.

The Istanbul Bridge's maiden voyage, originally expected to take 18 days, was delayed by two days due to a storm off the coast of Norway but the ship still reached Europe earlier than the 40 to 50 days it takes freighters going through the Suez Canal or around the Cape of Good Hope.

The new Northern Sea Route, running entirely through Arctic waters and within Russia's exclusive economic zone, can now be navigated by ships due to global warming.

This is climate change in the Arctic, and it deserves national/ international attention.

This is one of the most fascinating graphs of our planet, showing CO₂ levels on Earth over the last 66 million years.

Today, CO₂ levels are at their highest point in at least 3 million years. The last time they were this high sea levels were 50 feet higher and the Arctic nearly 15 degrees warmer.

Right now, CO₂ is rising more than 100 times faster than during the natural rapid warming at the end of the last Ice Age.

The climate has never changed this quickly in human history.

“A regime shift has reduced Antarctic sea-ice extent far below its natural variability of past centuries, and in some respects is more abrupt, non-linear and potentially irreversible than Arctic sea-ice loss.”

“The tipping point for unstoppable ice loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could be exceeded even under best-case CO2emission reduction pathways, potentially initiating global tipping cascades.”
