  • Extreme Weather and Climate Policy Battles Reshape America's Landscape

    Extreme Weather and Climate Policy Battles Reshape America's Landscape
    Dec 24 2025
    Across the United States this week, climate change is shaping both extreme weather and political battles. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that the year is ending with record warmth across much of the country, extending an unusually long wildfire season in the West and deepening drought conditions in parts of the southern Plains and Southwest, while intense, moisture laden storms have brought repeated flooding to the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Midwest. The National Weather Service has linked these extremes to the combination of a strong El Nino and the long term warming trend driven by greenhouse gas emissions.

    According to the United States Drought Monitor, severe to exceptional drought now grips large areas of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and the central Great Plains, stressing water supplies and agriculture, while California and the Mountain West face below average snowpack that threatens next years water security. At the same time, the National Interagency Fire Center reports that fall and winter fire activity has persisted in states such as California and Oregon, with officials warning that hotter, drier conditions are lengthening the traditional fire season.

    On the coasts, new research from the University of California system has highlighted accelerating sea level rise driven by climate change, projecting that by mid century tens of thousands of homes and critical infrastructure around the San Francisco Bay, Miami, and low lying communities along the Gulf Coast could face chronic flooding. The study warns that sunny day, or tidal, flooding is already becoming more frequent, a trend the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has also documented along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

    Amid these impacts, climate policy fights have intensified. The New York Times reports that a federal judge has blocked the Federal Emergency Management Agency from canceling four and a half billion dollars in climate resiliency grants under the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, a win for twenty two states that argued the projects will prevent an estimated one hundred fifty billion dollars in disaster damages over the next two decades. The United States Climate Alliance, a coalition of states committed to the Paris Agreement, says its members have now cut net greenhouse gas emissions to about twenty four percent below two thousand five levels while their economies grew, and governors are accelerating investments in heat pumps, electric vehicles, and grid modernization.

    Globally, the United Nations climate secretariat and scientific bodies including the World Meteorological Organization warn that worldwide emissions remain near record highs, and that without faster cuts, extreme heat waves, megafires, and flooding events seen this year on every continent will become even more frequent and severe.

  • United States Climate Alliance States Surpass Emissions Targets, Boost Economy by 34%

    United States Climate Alliance States Surpass Emissions Targets, Boost Economy by 34%
    Dec 20 2025
    In 2025, United States Climate Alliance states marked a major milestone, announcing during Climate Week New York City that they collectively reduced net greenhouse gas emissions by 24 percent below 2005 levels, surpassing national averages while boosting gross domestic product by 34 percent, according to the US Climate Alliance year-in-review report. These states advanced ambitious targets, enacted new laws across sectors, and invested billions in mitigation, deploying more heat pumps in homes, electric vehicles and chargers on roads, solar panels on roofs, and clean energy on grids.

    Federal actions drew sharp contrasts. On December 11, a federal judge blocked the administration's attempt to cancel the Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities program, ruling it illegal after 22 states sued to protect 4.5 billion dollars in grants projected to avert 150 billion dollars in disaster damages over two decades, as reported by The New York Times. Meanwhile, the Trump administration moved to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, labeling it a source of climate alarmism, per Science magazine on December 17. This threatens critical predictions for wildfires and storms, alarming California officials who warn of impacts to weather forecasting, according to CalMatters on December 20. The administration also canceled 109 million dollars in green transportation grants to Colorado, targeting electric vehicle charging and alternative fuels.

    Sea level rise emerges as a pressing pattern in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Cal Poly researchers project that by 2050, over 75,000 homes, 20,000 acres of wetlands, airports, highways, and data centers could face inundation, prompting calls for land reclamation as a sustainable adaptation between denial and retreat, noted in The Dirt from the American Society of Landscape Architects on December 16.

    Worldwide, greenhouse gas emissions rose and biodiversity loss accelerated this year, though renewables advanced, with China leading amid United States isolation, as Grist analyzed. The Paris Climate Agreement marked its tenth anniversary on December 12, with the National Security Archive highlighting commitments from 195 countries a decade ago. Upcoming events signal momentum: the World Conference on Climate Change and Global Warming convenes December 28 in Copenhagen, Denmark, while the United Nations Environment Assembly meets December 8 to 12 in Nairobi, Kenya, focusing on resilient solutions. These developments underscore resilience amid policy shifts and escalating risks.

  • Powerful Atmospheric Rivers and Climate Shifts Challenge the Pacific Northwest and Beyond

    Powerful Atmospheric Rivers and Climate Shifts Challenge the Pacific Northwest and Beyond
    Dec 13 2025
    According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center, a series of powerful atmospheric rivers is bringing heavy rain, mountain snow, flooding, and high winds to the Pacific Northwest and California, with a risk of landslides and river flooding from northern California into Washington state. Forecasters say a cool phase of the tropical Pacific known as La Nina is likely to persist for the next month or two before shifting toward neutral conditions early next year, a pattern that can influence storm tracks, drought risk, and temperature extremes across the United States.

    The Washington Post reports that this storm sequence is hitting landscapes already stressed by long term warming, with higher snow lines in the Sierra Nevada and Cascades, meaning more precipitation is falling as rain instead of snow. This raises winter flood risk while shrinking the natural snowpack reservoir that western states depend on for summer water supplies. In Oregon and Washington, local officials are warning that saturated soils after a warm fall could increase tree fall and power outages as winds intensify.

    In the eastern United States, the Associated Press notes that unusually warm December temperatures have extended the growing and allergy seasons in parts of the Midwest and Northeast, a trend scientists link to long term climate warming. Cities from Minneapolis to Boston are reporting that the first lasting snows are arriving later than in past decades, disrupting winter recreation economies and complicating water management planning.

    Worldwide, the European Union climate service Copernicus reports that global temperatures over the past year have remained near or above one and a half degrees Celsius of warming compared with the late eighteen hundreds baseline, driven largely by record high ocean temperatures in the North Atlantic and other basins. The Guardian notes that heat driven drought in the Amazon and in parts of southern Africa has intensified wildfire risk and strained hydropower production.

    Across these stories, scientists emphasize a common pattern. A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture, making heavy precipitation events like the current West Coast storms more intense, while also driving hotter heat waves, longer wildfire seasons, and shifting snow and rainfall patterns that challenge water systems and communities across the United States and around the world.
