‘Waging war on science’: Researchers worry about their jobs under Trump 2.0
Over the years, Donald Trump hasn’t exactly been a champion of science. As president and on the campaign trail, he called climate change a “hoax“; oversaw the rolling back of more than 100 environmental policies; directed agencies to cut down on expert guidance; pushed unproven COVID treatments; pulled out of the Paris climate agreement (and pledged to do so again); and claimed, without evidence, that the noise from wind turbines causes cancer. Ahead of his next stint in the Oval Office, he has nominated a vaccine denier to oversee the Department of Health and Human Services, promised to rid federal agencies of potentially tens of thousands of career staffers, and said he intends to shutter the Department of Education.
“Trump has basically said he is waging war on science and scientists,” said Jennifer …
Increased environmental drying risk for anurans globally under projected climate change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 29 October 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-02169-x
Climate change is exacerbating the severity of drought for life on land, especially for drying-sensitive species such as anurans (frogs and toads). Evaporative water loss rates for anurans are expected to double in areas with increased aridity. Increased drought severity combined with climate warming will likely reduce activity time for anurans owing to physiological limits.

Western North Pacific tropical cyclone activity modulated by phytoplankton feedback under global warming
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 11 April 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-024-01976-6
The degree to which changes in marine organisms due to warming can influence tropical cyclones is not well known. Here the authors show that changing chlorophyll patterns can lead to more landfalling tropical cyclones in East Asia.

Release: NSAC Applauds Final Rule on Inclusive Competition and Market Integrity under the Packers and Stockyards Act
Washington, DC, March 5, 2024 – Today, the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) applauded Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack for the publication of a final rule: Inclusive Competition and Market Integrity Under the Packers and Stockyards Act. This is the final policy from USDA to modernize the Packers and Stockyards Act (P&SA) following a public comment period to a proposed rule in 2022, a process set in-motion by President Biden’s Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy.
…“This is an important and long-awaited step to protect the rights and agency of livestock and poultry producers,” said Billy Hackett, NSAC Policy Specialist. “The deceptive
Production vulnerability to wheat blast disease under climate change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 01 February 2024; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01902-2
The authors estimate the global vulnerability of wheat crops to wheat blast under current and future climates. They show that warmer, more humid climates can increase wheat blast infection, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere, subsequently reducing global wheat production.
