one of most important things I have ever written. EVER. Last weekend, the pain of racism and hope of moving forward collided for me so I wrote --> amazon.com/dp/B08BC7D3NQ/ I hope you will share widely and actually give this a read. It is a quick but hopefully impactful read.

(3 of 3) to me, not necessarily breaking news that these 1 in 1000 chance happening more frequently or in places they shouldn't. The climate science has warned of this like epidemiologist warned of Covid-19 threat. We've been treading water or sinking...Time to swim on action

(2 of 3) There are climate stories almost daily involving health, agriculture, energy, equity, transportation, violence, aviation, solutions, climate justice, planning, watee, Infrastructure and other kitchen table topics. Let’s tell those stories too.

(1 od 3) It's not surprising that I am fielding multiple calls a day from national media about the historic flooding in Kentucky, St. Louis and now Illinois...Or the heat extremes. This is our new reality so need sustained coverage of climate implications not just episodic

I can think of few things as irresponsible or immoral as the sentiment "the children will solve the climate emergency." Nope. Right here, right now people.

Great point about the fact that both sides of hydrometeorological extremes can coexist....It is always so counterintuitive to many...like those who struggle yo grasp that we will still have winter weather even as climate warms

Interesting weather today in the deserts of SE California and SW Nevada. A reminder that flash flooding is a threat here even during a mega drought.

According to

@DrShepherd2013

even if there is “really compelling evidence,” people struggle with the “two sides of the ledger. They struggle with the fact that climate change will lead to more intense and frequent drought and extreme rainfall, for example.”
