The White House released the latest National Climate Assessment, warning that every region of the U.S. is currently experiencing the worsening effects of climate change. Climate scientist Kate Marvel stated that the current generation is the last one capable of making a meaningful difference. The report notes that billion-dollar weather disasters now occur every three weeks on average, and while U.S. emissions are falling, the transition to wind and solar is not happening fast enough.

NASA scientist Kate Marvel appeared on Alec Baldwin's podcast, claiming that humans are responsible for "over 100%" of current global warming. She argued that without human intervention, the Earth would be cooling due to a slight decrease in the Sun's output. The hosts criticize the "arrogance" of the scientific community and the complexity of the data models used to attribute warming to human activity.

Climate scientist Kate Marvel discusses the inherent flaws in current climate models during an appearance on the Freakonomics podcast. She identifies clouds as the "wild card" of climate science because they are difficult to simulate due to their scale, ranging from tiny dust particles to massive atmospheric formations. The hosts interpret these admissions as a sign that the scientific community is beginning to "back off" from previous certainties regarding global warming.
