NEW: @UNHumanRights NY Office Director @CraigMokhiber resigns in protest over timidity of key parts of #UN system on issues pertaining to Palestinian Human Rights. In letter to @volker_turk he says: "This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in #Palestine."
A fisheries case is being used as a trojan horse to dismantle the role of science in how our government protects our health, safety, and our oceans.
I spoke with @ABCNews & @DevinDwyer about the implications of this #SCOTUS decision: abcnews.go.com/Politics/fish…

Biden-Harris Administration makes $45M available for coastal habitat restoration & resilience for tribes and underserved communities through Investing in America agenda.
Funding will advance NOAA’s efforts to build a more Climate-Ready Nation.

After this long weekend, Congress will come back to think about funding our government. In the House, the Republican's budget proposal for @NOAA would slash funding by 14% and completely cut climate change fisheries research. Thanks, I hate it, try again. bit.ly/3OPrB5x
Feels likely I’m really on my way out of this site. Luna and I miss you!

As the House Fisheries Subcommittee reviews the Red Snapper Act today, here's what to know:
The bill would prevent decision makers from using the latest science available (as required under law).
We can’t afford to delay and allow overfishing to go unchecked for years.
Great article that features one of the more egregious provisions in the House funding bills - a complete ban on using federal funds for “climate change fisheries research”
🚨NEWS: As heat forces hundreds of her constituents to hospitals, GOP @RepKayGranger is having her committee add fine print to spending bills that would block the government from fighting climate change.

If the past three years are any indication, there are many more records on the horizon in the next months.

Really good article from @sarahkaplan48 (one of my fav reporters on climate). Also kudos for including this part, which made me tear up:
“He tried to find words to express how it felt to watch the planet careen into such uncharted territory. “It’s ... ” he started. “Ahh ... ”
“It was really like, what will it take for people to see that we are creating an unlivable planet?”

Lest anyone think this is some kind of mapping error, SST reports from buoys around the Florida Keys posted as of ~7 PM ET Sun are downright shocking, e.g.:
Key West 92.1F
Vaca Key 94.3F
Johnson Key 95.7F
