In a letter, several members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine warn Trump’s overhaul of U.S. science has created a “climate of fear.”

More than 1,900 scientists have signed a letter warning that the Trump administration is threatening scientific independence and urging it to “cease its wholesale assault on U.S. science.” Since taking office, President Donald Trump and his team have upended the country’s scientific research apparatus — slashing funding, terminating grants and attempting to weed out ideas deemed unacceptable, according to the letter.

<small>We all rely on science. Science gave us the smartphones in our pockets, the navigation systems in our cars, and life-saving medical care. We count on engineers when we drive across bridges and fly in airplanes. Businesses and farmers rely on science and engineering for product innovation, technological advances, and weather forecasting. Science helps humanity protect the planet and keeps pollutants and toxins out of our air, water, and food.</small>


<small>For over 80 years, wise investments by the US government have built up the nation’s research enterprise, making it the envy of the world. Astoundingly, the Trump administration is destabilizing this enterprise by gutting funding for research, firing thousands of scientists, removing public access to scientific data, and pressuring researchers to alter or abandon their work on ideological grounds.</small>


:[https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/File:Mapping_Our_Air.png <big>'''''Mapping the Air Quality / July 10 '''''</big>]
<small>The undersigned are elected members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, representing some of the nation’s top scientists, engineers, and medical researchers. We are speaking out as individuals. We see real danger in this moment. We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry. We are sending this SOS to sound a clear warning: the nation’s scientific enterprise is being decimated.</small>

:::https://www.greenpolicy360.net/w/Virtual_Earth


<small>The administration is slashing funding for scientific agencies, terminating grants to scientists, defunding their laboratories, and hampering international scientific collaboration. The funding cuts are forcing institutions to pause research (including studies of new disease treatments), dismiss faculty, and stop enrolling graduate students—the pipeline for the next generation’s scientists.</small>


[[File:Mapping Our Air.png]]
<small>The administration’s current investigations of more than 50 universities send a chilling message. Columbia University was recently notified that its federal funding would be withheld unless it adopted disciplinary policies and disabled an academic department targeted by the administration. Destabilizing dozens of universities will endanger higher education—and the research those institutions conduct.</small>


<small>The quest for truth—the mission of science—requires that scientists freely explore new questions and report their findings honestly, independent of special interests. The administration is engaging in censorship, destroying this independence.  It is using executive orders and financial threats to manipulate which studies are funded or published, how results are reported, and which data and research findings the public can access. The administration is blocking research on topics it finds objectionable, such as climate change, or that yields results it does not like, on topics ranging from vaccine safety to economic trends.</small>

<small>A climate of fear has descended on the research community. Researchers, afraid of losing their funding or job security, are removing their names from publications, abandoning studies, and rewriting grant proposals and papers to remove scientifically accurate terms (such as “climate change”) that agencies are flagging as objectionable. Although some in the scientific community have protested vocally, most researchers, universities, research institutions, and professional organizations have kept silent to avoid antagonizing the administration and jeopardizing their funding.</small>


<small>If our country’s research enterprise is dismantled, we will lose our scientific edge. Other countries will lead the development of novel disease treatments, clean energy sources, and the new technologies of the future. Their populations will be healthier, and their economies will surpass us in business, defense, intelligence gathering, and monitoring our planet’s health. The damage to our nation’s scientific enterprise could take decades to reverse.</small>

<small>We call on the administration to cease its wholesale assault on U.S. science, and we urge the public to join this call. Share this statement with others, contact your representatives in Congress, and help your community understand what is at risk. The voice of science must not be silenced. We all benefit from science, and we all stand to lose if the nation’s research enterprise is destroyed.</small>

GreenPolicy360: After making a case that post World War 2 economic dominance and US hegemony militarily is in decline, and that neoliberal globalization policies have resulted in a loss of manufacturing and a political shift across the country, the conclusion of this WaPo editorial columnist is stark:


<big><big>'''''Banned: Treaty Prohibiting Nuclear Weapons Adopted'''''</big></big>
''...Democracy has been eroding for decades. In its latest report on the state of democracy, issued six weeks into the Trump administration but based on data through 2024, the V-Dem Institute in Sweden noted that there are fewer democracies than autocracies for the first time in more than 20 years. Almost three out of four people in the world live under autocratic governments, the highest share since 1978, well before the end of the Cold War. Liberal democracies host 12 percent of the world population.''

''What if the National Rally wins the next presidential election in France? What if the government of Friedrich Merz fails in Germany and the neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany triumphs? The V-Dem assessment of the United States does not include the past couple of months of democratic backsliding, with Trump challenging the judiciary, snubbing due process and fishing for justifications to ignore the rule of law. But American democracy, it suggests, is due for a downgrade.''

''Activist Bill McKibben says Americans upset by the Trump administration’s gutting of U.S. climate efforts need to move beyond despair. In an interview with e360, he talks about rethinking the role of protest, the global push on clean energy, and why he sees reason for hope.''

''In the first six weeks of the new Trump administration, it’s become clear that the president intends to undo not just Joe Biden’s environmental legacy, but an entire generation’s worth of action on climate change. The administration has announced it is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. It has frozen Inflation Reduction Act grants, stopped issuing permits for offshore wind development, and declared an “energy emergency” to boost fossil fuel production. The White House appears to be preparing to go after the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” which undergirds EPA regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, while cutting EPA spending by 65 percent.''

''How should environmentalists respond? Activist and author Bill McKibben has been a leading voice on climate change since 1989, when he published The End of Nature, the first book on the subject aimed at a general audience. McKibben spoke to e360 contributing writer Elizabeth Kolbert about the urgency of the moment, the role of protest, the future of clean energy, and where he sees glimmers of hope.''

In the 15th edition of its annual “emissions gap” report, the UNEP calls for “no more hot air” as countries approach the February 2025 deadline to submit their next nationally determined contributions (NDCs) setting mitigation targets for 2035.


''June 12 / Reuters -- The U.S. said it would not sign up to a pledge by Italy, Canada, Japan, France, Britain and Germany which called the 2015 Paris agreement on climate change "irreversible" and key for the "security and prosperity of our planet."''


''As a consequence, Washington formally refused to back multilateral development banks — bodies designed to finance poorer nations and help them reduce their pollution emissions.''
Via Carbon Brief


''"The U.S. is now left as a footnote to climate action and that's very sad," said Canadian Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. "Everyone expressed their deep disappointment with the U.S. decision," she said.''
The deadline to file new pledges was in February, but only 13 countries presented their contributions.

:''"The noose tightens," Princeton University climate scientist Michael Oppenheimer, co-editor of the peer-reviewed journal Climatic Change, told [http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/scientists-donald-trump-pull-out-paris-climate-change-agreement-a7759411.html The Independent]. The US withdrawing from the Paris Agreement would only aggravate the climate change problem and make it much more difficult to prevent the crossing of a global temperature to a dangerous threshold. Three billion tonnes of additional carbon dioxide could be released into the air every year...''
''Arc Institute researchers have developed a machine learning model called Evo 2 that is trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life. Its deep understanding of biological code means that Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across disparate organisms that experimental researchers would need years to uncover. The model can accurately identify disease-causing mutations in human genes and is capable of designing new genomes that are as long as the genomes of simple bacteria.''


''Evo 2’s developers—made up of scientists from Arc Institute and NVIDIA, convening collaborators across Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco—will post details about the model as a preprint on February 19, 2025, accompanied by a user-friendly interface called Evo Designer. The Evo 2 code is publicly accessible from Arc’s GitHub, and is also integrated into the NVIDIA BioNeMo framework, as part of a collaboration between Arc Institute and NVIDIA to accelerate scientific research. Arc Institute also worked with AI research lab Goodfire to develop a mechanistic interpretability visualizer that uncovers the key biological features and patterns the model learns to recognize in genomic sequences. The Evo team is sharing its training data, training and inference code, and model weights to release the largest-scale, fully open source AI model to date.''


[[File:Disbelief.png]]
''Building on its predecessor Evo 1, which was trained entirely on single-cell genomes, Evo 2 is the largest artificial intelligence model in biology to date, trained on over 9.3 trillion nucleotides—the building blocks that make up DNA or RNA—from over 128,000 whole genomes as well as metagenomic data. In addition to an expanded collection of bacterial, archaeal, and phage genomes, Evo 2 includes information from humans, plants, and other single-celled and multi-cellular species in the eukaryotic domain of life.''


''“Our development of Evo 1 and Evo 2 represents a key moment in the emerging field of generative biology, as the models have enabled machines to read, write, and think in the language of nucleotides,” says Patrick Hsu (@pdhsu), Arc Institute Co-Founder, Arc Core Investigator, an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and Deb Faculty Fellow at University of California, Berkeley, and a co-senior author on the Evo 2 preprint. "Evo 2 has a generalist understanding of the tree of life that's useful for a multitude of tasks, from predicting disease-causing mutations to designing potential code for artificial life. We’re excited to see what the research community builds on top of these foundation models.”''

''Vance, who is a graduate of Yale Law School, is saying the riot part out loud. Presidents cannot violate rulings from the courts, unless of course, the Constitution is rendered null and void. Such an action would, for all intents and purposes, amount to something of a non-violent insurrection, executed from inside the government. To that end, Trump’s critics would note this is not his first rodeo. The idea that “judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power” may be the view of the most ardent conservatives on the Supreme Court. But it’s hard to imagine Chief Justice John Roberts holding such a view. Though one can imagine a lot these days.''

''Trump’s actions since the start of his second administration raise serious questions about what his intentions would be, moving forward, if the guardrails of a judicial branch are tossed aside. His pardons and commutations for January 6th rioters, his stripping of the security details for outspoken ex-government officials like former national security adviser John Bolton, his move to tear down USAID and the Department of Education, not to mention his erratic fixation on acquiring Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal all call for bright red lines curtailing Trump’s executive powers. After the last couple of weeks, this is no time to remove any constitutional restraining bolts.''

''Even after regaining the highest office in the land, Trump continued to lie about his 2020 election loss. He didn’t mention it in his formal address, but in his impromptu, second speech, Trump falsely contended it was only due to voter fraud and that if votes were counted accurately he would win California, a state he lost by more than 3.2 million votes.''




And perspective from Europe...

''When the obituary of planet Earth is written, there may be a prominent slot for what took place in a basketball and ice hockey arena in downtown Washington on 20 January, 2025.''


''It was here that, with a wry head shake and gleeful twirl of the pen, Donald Trump again withdrew the US from the Paris climate agreement, to the joy and jubilation of 20,000 spectators apparently indifferent to fate of the pale blue dot they live on.''

''Monday’s first batch of executive orders, contained in black folders, was also a reminder of Trump’s insatiable appetite for spectacle. His swearing in and inauguration parade had been brought indoors because of extreme cold weather. Naturally he saw an opportunity to turn it into a reality TV show.''


''“60th presidential inauguration” was written in red and gold on electronic screens. A red carpet covered the floor. A giant cartoon-like reviewing stand had been set up with an oversized presidential seal, a lectern and a tiny desk.''

Look back to the origins of US climate science/earth science/atmospheric science, and there's an East Los Angeles Congressman, George Brown, out in front. In many ways this science work would go on to put in place a foundation and beginning of a modern environmental movement.

When we speak of climate policy, George first acted to protect clean air above Los Angeles in the 1960s, then worked to create the EPA, environmental laws, and then pivoted in the 70s to become a leader of protecting what we call the [http://thinbluelayer.com '''"Thin Blue Layer"'''] above home planet Earth.


We envisioned what the disruptions of a warming climate could bring. Now in Los Angeles the changing environment is delivering a disaster described as the region's worst in history, one that augurs more danger to come in the future.


This moment calls for increased awareness and action.

''“When I was in the White House, I thought of human rights primarily in terms of political rights, such as rights to free speech and freedom from torture or unjust imprisonment. As I traveled around the world since I was president, I learned there was no way to separate the crucial rights to live in peace, to have adequate food and health care, and to have a voice in choosing one’s political leaders. These human needs and rights are inextricably linked.” -- Jimmy Carter

Some 1,900 scientists accuse Trump of ‘wholesale assault’ on science

In a letter, several members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine warn Trump’s overhaul of U.S. science has created a “climate of fear.”


More than 1,900 scientists have signed a letter warning that the Trump administration is threatening scientific independence and urging it to “cease its wholesale assault on U.S. science.” Since taking office, President Donald Trump and his team have upended the country’s scientific research apparatus — slashing funding, terminating grants and attempting to weed out ideas deemed unacceptable, according to the letter.


TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

We all rely on science. Science gave us the smartphones in our pockets, the navigation systems in our cars, and life-saving medical care. We count on engineers when we drive across bridges and fly in airplanes. Businesses and farmers rely on science and engineering for product innovation, technological advances, and weather forecasting. Science helps humanity protect the planet and keeps pollutants and toxins out of our air, water, and food.

For over 80 years, wise investments by the US government have built up the nation’s research enterprise, making it the envy of the world. Astoundingly, the Trump administration is destabilizing this enterprise by gutting funding for research, firing thousands of scientists, removing public access to scientific data, and pressuring researchers to alter or abandon their work on ideological grounds.

The undersigned are elected members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, representing some of the nation’s top scientists, engineers, and medical researchers. We are speaking out as individuals. We see real danger in this moment. We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry. We are sending this SOS to sound a clear warning: the nation’s scientific enterprise is being decimated.

The administration is slashing funding for scientific agencies, terminating grants to scientists, defunding their laboratories, and hampering international scientific collaboration. The funding cuts are forcing institutions to pause research (including studies of new disease treatments), dismiss faculty, and stop enrolling graduate students—the pipeline for the next generation’s scientists.

The administration’s current investigations of more than 50 universities send a chilling message. Columbia University was recently notified that its federal funding would be withheld unless it adopted disciplinary policies and disabled an academic department targeted by the administration. Destabilizing dozens of universities will endanger higher education—and the research those institutions conduct.

The quest for truth—the mission of science—requires that scientists freely explore new questions and report their findings honestly, independent of special interests. The administration is engaging in censorship, destroying this independence. It is using executive orders and financial threats to manipulate which studies are funded or published, how results are reported, and which data and research findings the public can access. The administration is blocking research on topics it finds objectionable, such as climate change, or that yields results it does not like, on topics ranging from vaccine safety to economic trends.

A climate of fear has descended on the research community. Researchers, afraid of losing their funding or job security, are removing their names from publications, abandoning studies, and rewriting grant proposals and papers to remove scientifically accurate terms (such as “climate change”) that agencies are flagging as objectionable. Although some in the scientific community have protested vocally, most researchers, universities, research institutions, and professional organizations have kept silent to avoid antagonizing the administration and jeopardizing their funding.

If our country’s research enterprise is dismantled, we will lose our scientific edge. Other countries will lead the development of novel disease treatments, clean energy sources, and the new technologies of the future. Their populations will be healthier, and their economies will surpass us in business, defense, intelligence gathering, and monitoring our planet’s health. The damage to our nation’s scientific enterprise could take decades to reverse.

We call on the administration to cease its wholesale assault on U.S. science, and we urge the public to join this call. Share this statement with others, contact your representatives in Congress, and help your community understand what is at risk. The voice of science must not be silenced. We all benefit from science, and we all stand to lose if the nation’s research enterprise is destroyed.

The views expressed here are our own and not those of the National Academies or our home institutions.

The end of the American-led world order

Via Op/Ed in the Washington Post

March 27, 2025


GreenPolicy360: After making a case that post World War 2 economic dominance and US hegemony militarily is in decline, and that neoliberal globalization policies have resulted in a loss of manufacturing and a political shift across the country, the conclusion of this WaPo editorial columnist is stark:

...Democracy has been eroding for decades. In its latest report on the state of democracy, issued six weeks into the Trump administration but based on data through 2024, the V-Dem Institute in Sweden noted that there are fewer democracies than autocracies for the first time in more than 20 years. Almost three out of four people in the world live under autocratic governments, the highest share since 1978, well before the end of the Cold War. Liberal democracies host 12 percent of the world population.

What if the National Rally wins the next presidential election in France? What if the government of Friedrich Merz fails in Germany and the neo-Nazi Alternative for Germany triumphs? The V-Dem assessment of the United States does not include the past couple of months of democratic backsliding, with Trump challenging the judiciary, snubbing due process and fishing for justifications to ignore the rule of law. But American democracy, it suggests, is due for a downgrade.

Global Warming Fact of the Day - March 22, 2025.jpg


Author and Activist Bill McKibben on Climate Progress in the Age of Trump 2.0

The administration is “rejecting flat-out the science,” he says, “about the single most dangerous thing that’s ever happened.”


By Elizabeth Kolbert


Activist Bill McKibben says Americans upset by the Trump administration’s gutting of U.S. climate efforts need to move beyond despair. In an interview with e360, he talks about rethinking the role of protest, the global push on clean energy, and why he sees reason for hope.

In the first six weeks of the new Trump administration, it’s become clear that the president intends to undo not just Joe Biden’s environmental legacy, but an entire generation’s worth of action on climate change. The administration has announced it is withdrawing from the Paris Agreement. It has frozen Inflation Reduction Act grants, stopped issuing permits for offshore wind development, and declared an “energy emergency” to boost fossil fuel production. The White House appears to be preparing to go after the Environmental Protection Agency’s 2009 “endangerment finding,” which undergirds EPA regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, while cutting EPA spending by 65 percent.

How should environmentalists respond? Activist and author Bill McKibben has been a leading voice on climate change since 1989, when he published The End of Nature, the first book on the subject aimed at a general audience. McKibben spoke to e360 contributing writer Elizabeth Kolbert about the urgency of the moment, the role of protest, the future of clean energy, and where he sees glimmers of hope.

The source behind your local weather report is facing cuts. Meteorologists are sounding the alarm

NOAA, which provides data for morning forecasts and hurricane models, has laid off more than 800 employees and plans to cut 1,000 more


Via Poynter


When viewers tune into their local television station for the weather report, chances are that the forecast they see was made possible by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

“NOAA and the National Weather Service — they are the backbone of meteorology for the entire country,” said Ryan Phillips, a meteorologist for NBC 6 and an instructor at the University of Miami.

Through agencies like the National Hurricane Center and the Weather Prediction Center, NOAA collects observational data, runs models, develops forecasts and issues warnings — information that broadcast meteorologists use to create weather forecasts.

Those agencies are currently being targeted for cuts by billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Governmental Efficiency.

More than 800 NOAA employees were laid off in late February, including National Weather Service meteorologists. A day later, 500 more took a deferred resignation offer. Last week, NOAA reportedly began preparing to lay off another 1,000 employees, or 10% of the agency’s staff.

... During severe weather, broadcast meteorologists are especially dependent on NOAA.

E.P.A. Plans to Close All Environmental Justice Offices

As the Department of Education Announces President Trump's ordering the Education Department to Close Up and Shut Down
A President acts to eliminate environmental protection and student education programs across the country


A step in eliminating the EPA: An internal memo directs the closure of offices designed to ease the heavy pollution faced by poor and minority communities.

The Trump administration intends to eliminate Environmental Protection Agency offices responsible for addressing the disproportionately high levels of pollution facing poor communities, according to a memo from Lee Zeldin, the agency administrator.

In the internal memo, viewed by The New York Times, Mr. Zeldin informed agency leaders that he was directing “the reorganization and elimination” of the offices of environmental justice at all 10 E.P.A. regional offices as well as the one in Washington.

Mr. Zeldin’s move effectively ends three decades of work at the E.P.A. to try to ease the pollution that burdens poor and minority communities, which are frequently located near highways, power plants, industrial plants and other polluting facilities. Studies have shown that people who live in those communities have higher rates of asthma, heart disease and other health problems, compared with the national average.

“If anybody needed a clearer sign that this administration gives not a single damn for the people of the United States, this is it,” said Matthew Tejada, a former E.P.A. official who is now a senior vice president for environmental health at the Natural Resources Defense Council, a nonprofit organization.

Molly Vaseliou, an E.P.A. spokeswoman, described the moves as “organizational improvements” that align with President Trump’s orders to end wasteful spending and diversity, equity and inclusion programs.

'Trump's EPA, as its programs and employees are deeply reduced, announces refusal to continue Congressional funding

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin claims he has authority to block Congressional grants

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency has terminated grant agreements worth $20 billion issued by the Biden administration under a so-called green bank to finance clean energy and climate-friendly projects.

The action comes weeks after the EPA froze the grants...

Democrats defended the bank program and accused Zeldin of acting without legal authority or evidence of wrongdoing.

“Without a shred of evidence, Administrator Zeldin is escalating his unfounded attempts to unilaterally terminate congressionally authorized and contractually obligated funding that would lower household energy costs, spur economic growth and cut pollution,” said Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.

Whitehouse called Zeldin’s efforts to block the green bank “a blatant giveaway to the fossil fuel megadonors who bankrolled” President Donald Trump’s campaign.

Zeldin’s actions “will drive up energy costs, deepen our reliance on foreign oil and worsen climate change,” Whitehouse said, accusing Zeldin of continuing what he called the Trump administration’s “lawlessness and disdain for the Constitution.”

Separately, Whitehouse challenged a criminal investigation into the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund by the Justice Department and FBI.

“Without a true basis to interfere with these properly appropriated and obligated funds, it appears you reverted to a pretextual criminal investigation to provide an alternative excuse to interfere,” Whitehouse wrote in a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.

Germany and Europe shift political direction


German election delivers change for Europe


"It is not just another change of government” under Mr. Trump, Friedrich Merz, the leading candidate for chancellor, warned on Friday after taking the stage for an arena rally in the western town of Oberhausen, “but a complete redrawing of the world map.” ...

Mr. Merz and other candidates, including the current center-left chancellor, Olaf Scholz, have warned of strained or even severed ties with the United States, while vowing to fill a continental and global leadership vacuum.

Mr. Merz openly questioned this past week whether the United States would remain a democracy much longer — or slip into full autocratic rule — and whether NATO would continue to exist. Mr. Scholz has said that Germany and Europe must be prepared to go it alone without Mr. Trump. ...

Among the other challenges for Germany is that Trump administration officials, including Vice President JD Vance and Elon Musk, have also embraced a hard-right political party, the Alternative for Germany, or AfD, that revels in Nazi slogans and is ostracized by all of the country’s mainstream parties.

Modeling Life: AI Leaps Into the Unknown Known

Be Wary of Pathogens and Other 'Creations'


We at GreenPolicy are asking ourselves 'What would Dr. Michael Crichton think?' Is this an opening scene in a movie script? If Jurassic Park's author was alive and still ruminating about science gone bad, would he worried, or what, reading this news today?

AI can now model and design the genetic code for all domains of life with Evo 2

Arc Institute develops the largest AI model for biology to date in collaboration with NVIDIA, bringing together Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco researchers


Arc Institute researchers have developed a machine learning model called Evo 2 that is trained on the DNA of over 100,000 species across the entire tree of life. Its deep understanding of biological code means that Evo 2 can identify patterns in gene sequences across disparate organisms that experimental researchers would need years to uncover. The model can accurately identify disease-causing mutations in human genes and is capable of designing new genomes that are as long as the genomes of simple bacteria.

Evo 2’s developers—made up of scientists from Arc Institute and NVIDIA, convening collaborators across Stanford University, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco—will post details about the model as a preprint on February 19, 2025, accompanied by a user-friendly interface called Evo Designer. The Evo 2 code is publicly accessible from Arc’s GitHub, and is also integrated into the NVIDIA BioNeMo framework, as part of a collaboration between Arc Institute and NVIDIA to accelerate scientific research. Arc Institute also worked with AI research lab Goodfire to develop a mechanistic interpretability visualizer that uncovers the key biological features and patterns the model learns to recognize in genomic sequences. The Evo team is sharing its training data, training and inference code, and model weights to release the largest-scale, fully open source AI model to date.

Building on its predecessor Evo 1, which was trained entirely on single-cell genomes, Evo 2 is the largest artificial intelligence model in biology to date, trained on over 9.3 trillion nucleotides—the building blocks that make up DNA or RNA—from over 128,000 whole genomes as well as metagenomic data. In addition to an expanded collection of bacterial, archaeal, and phage genomes, Evo 2 includes information from humans, plants, and other single-celled and multi-cellular species in the eukaryotic domain of life.

“Our development of Evo 1 and Evo 2 represents a key moment in the emerging field of generative biology, as the models have enabled machines to read, write, and think in the language of nucleotides,” says Patrick Hsu (@pdhsu), Arc Institute Co-Founder, Arc Core Investigator, an Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and Deb Faculty Fellow at University of California, Berkeley, and a co-senior author on the Evo 2 preprint. "Evo 2 has a generalist understanding of the tree of life that's useful for a multitude of tasks, from predicting disease-causing mutations to designing potential code for artificial life. We’re excited to see what the research community builds on top of these foundation models.”

JD Vance questions the US Constitution.png


Outrage after JD Vance claims judges are not allowed to check executive power

Vice-president accused of threatening constitution after saying judges have no right to restrain president’s agenda

Via The Guardian / February 10, 2025


Article III of the US constitution confers a power known as judicial review, which gives federal judges the authority to rule on cases involving the president, as well as other branches of government.

Vance’s comments drew widespread criticism.

Daniel Goldman, a Democratic representative from New York, responded on X: “It’s called the ‘rule of law’. Our constitution created three co-equal branches of government to provide checks and balances on each other (‘separation of powers’).

“The judiciary makes sure that the executive follows the law. If you do, then you won’t have problems.”

Quinta Jurecic, a fellow at the Brookings Institution thinktank, told the New York Times: “What Vance’s wording suggests is that the executive could potentially respond to a court order by saying to the court, ‘You’re unconstitutionally intruding on my authority and I’m not going to do what you say.’

“At that point, the constitution falls apart.”

Programming Alert: America Under Siege

By Jim Acosta / February 10

In one revealing social media post, Vice President J.D. Vance somehow managed to upstage his boss, who spent this past weekend attending the Super Bowl, seizing control of the Kennedy Center and abolishing the penny, by issuing a performative decree on the propaganda platform of his other superior, Elon Musk, insisting that the White House need not adhere to rulings from federal judges.

“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that's also illegal. Judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power,” Vance posted.

Vance, who is a graduate of Yale Law School, is saying the riot part out loud. Presidents cannot violate rulings from the courts, unless of course, the Constitution is rendered null and void. Such an action would, for all intents and purposes, amount to something of a non-violent insurrection, executed from inside the government. To that end, Trump’s critics would note this is not his first rodeo. The idea that “judges aren't allowed to control the executive's legitimate power” may be the view of the most ardent conservatives on the Supreme Court. But it’s hard to imagine Chief Justice John Roberts holding such a view. Though one can imagine a lot these days.

Over the weekend, MAGA-world was howling after a federal judge temporarily blocked Musk’s government efficiency team, DOGE, from having access to the Treasury department’s highly sensitive federal payments system. Trump responded to the ruling, calling it a “disgrace.”

Trump’s actions since the start of his second administration raise serious questions about what his intentions would be, moving forward, if the guardrails of a judicial branch are tossed aside. His pardons and commutations for January 6th rioters, his stripping of the security details for outspoken ex-government officials like former national security adviser John Bolton, his move to tear down USAID and the Department of Education, not to mention his erratic fixation on acquiring Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal all call for bright red lines curtailing Trump’s executive powers. After the last couple of weeks, this is no time to remove any constitutional restraining bolts.

How to find climate data and science removed from government websites


Purging "Climate Change" as Verboten Words in the Trump Administration

Hard Turn in Climate-Related Policies Led by Cuts, Deletions, Erasures, and Firings
Online Websites Are Being Scrubbed of Climate and Renewable Energy Content, Earth Science Research, Statistics, Data, and Educational Tools


The Washington Post and multiple news sources have begun reporting that Trump Executive Orders to government agencies are rapidly resulting in widespread purging of online references to "climate change".


>The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) website overhaul reprises a similar move by Trump’s first administration, which touched off a “Don’t Say Climate” movement among Republican-led state governments. Climate change is no longer listed on the EPA’s main environmental topics drop-down menu, which is instead populated with topics like bedbugs and radon.

>David Doniger, senior attorney with the environmental nonprofit the Natural Resources Defense Council, called the EPA’s “Orwellian” website changes “of a piece with [Trump] denying climate as a problem” and “trying to bury inconvenient facts and pretend these problems don’t exist.”

>At the Department of Energy, the webpage for the Office of Energy Justice and Equity is gone — as are all of its employees, who were placed on administrative leave earlier this week as part of the Trump administration’s purge.

>The web address for the department’s Low Income Energy Affordability Data Tool now redirects visitors to a page headlined “Restoring Energy Dominance” and links out to a description of the president’s promise to end a pause on liquefied natural gas exports.

>Another program no longer specified that it would help develop programs for an energy future that was equitable or clean.

>“Climate change” was also removed from a page describing an Environmental Protection Agency tool used to analyze greenhouse gas emissions and air quality.

>Several Department of Transportation references to “climate change” have been replaced with “climate resilience,” a more generic term that describes protections from disasters, without investigating their root causes, according to Alys Campaigne, Climate Initiative Leader at the Southern Environmental Law Center, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.

>An agency within the Department of Transportation even went as far as to remove goals around “achieving net-zero emissions and increasing equity.” Instead, the new goals for the Advanced Research Projects Agency — Infrastructure now read to “enhance resilience, and make America more globally competitive.”

>Meanwhile, at the Agriculture Department, a page on the USDA’s Partnerships for Climate-Smart Commodities has been taken down. The Forest Service’s website has been similarly scrubbed. And at least two pages are gone that informed visitors about how climate change is affecting the nation’s 193 million acres of federally managed forests and grasslands.

Beneath a veneer of calm, Trump’s inauguration holds warning signs for US democracy

The warning signs were clear


Via the Associated Press


The celebration of the peaceful transfer of power kicked off just before noon Monday with both Trump and Biden present. That was a stark difference from last time, when Trump didn’t attend the event to hand over power to Biden. ...

"I did have a couple of things to say that were extremely controversial,” Trump told the crowd in the Capitol’s Emancipation Hall. It was the same space that had filled with rows of National Guard troops sleeping on the hard floors for weeks in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 attack.

Hours later, Trump followed through on a campaign promise to pardon those involved in the attack...

Even after regaining the highest office in the land, Trump continued to lie about his 2020 election loss. He didn’t mention it in his formal address, but in his impromptu, second speech, Trump falsely contended it was only due to voter fraud and that if votes were counted accurately he would win California, a state he lost by more than 3.2 million votes.


And perspective from Europe...


Trump the wrecking ball brings chaos to order, executing a parade of grievances

Planet-sparing Paris agreement goes out the window, along with punishment for January 6 insurrectionists, as Donald Trump glories in his return to power


Via The Guardian


When the obituary of planet Earth is written, there may be a prominent slot for what took place in a basketball and ice hockey arena in downtown Washington on 20 January, 2025.

It was here that, with a wry head shake and gleeful twirl of the pen, Donald Trump again withdrew the US from the Paris climate agreement, to the joy and jubilation of 20,000 spectators apparently indifferent to fate of the pale blue dot they live on.


“We’re going to save over a trillion dollars by withdrawing from that treaty,” gushed an aide at Trump’s prompting, implying that watching the world burn is a small price to pay.

This was the moment it really hit home. Trump is back. The human wrecking ball who left a trail of chaos and division in his first four years has returned with a vengeance. America voted for this. People will get hurt.

Monday’s first batch of executive orders, contained in black folders, was also a reminder of Trump’s insatiable appetite for spectacle. His swearing in and inauguration parade had been brought indoors because of extreme cold weather. Naturally he saw an opportunity to turn it into a reality TV show.

“60th presidential inauguration” was written in red and gold on electronic screens. A red carpet covered the floor. A giant cartoon-like reviewing stand had been set up with an oversized presidential seal, a lectern and a tiny desk.

GreenPolicy360 recalls early warnings about climate change

Our friend George E. Brown who became a colleague was a first voice to rise in the US Congress to take on the questions -- and dangers -- of climate change.


Look back to the origins of US climate science/earth science/atmospheric science, and there's an East Los Angeles Congressman, George Brown, out in front. In many ways this science work would go on to put in place a foundation and beginning of a modern environmental movement.

Let's take time to read again about a man who made a positive difference and changed the world for the better, even as the struggles continue.

When we speak of climate policy, George first acted to protect clean air above Los Angeles in the 1960s, then worked to create the EPA, environmental laws, and then pivoted in the 70s to become a leader of protecting what we call the "Thin Blue Layer" above home planet Earth.

We envisioned what the disruptions of a warming climate could bring. Now in Los Angeles the changing environment is delivering a disaster described as the region's worst in history, one that augurs more danger to come in the future.

This moment calls for increased awareness and action.


Congressman Brown was instrumental in proposing and establishing the Presidential Office of Science and Technology Policy in 1976. He was working alongside the National Academy of Sciences as they released a first-ever climate report in 1977. In 1977 he and the new Office of Science and Technology sent a first government warning of "climatic fluctuation" and "catastrophic" change to President Carter:

“When I was in the White House, I thought of human rights primarily in terms of political rights, such as rights to free speech and freedom from torture or unjust imprisonment. As I traveled around the world since I was president, I learned there was no way to separate the crucial rights to live in peace, to have adequate food and health care, and to have a voice in choosing one’s political leaders. These human needs and rights are inextricably linked.” -- Jimmy Carter
