Not only am I nostalgic for Capri Sun and Kudos bars, but for a time when temperature records didn’t fall year after year, long term drought wasn’t a regular topic of conversation, and when we didn’t have to buy a dozen air filters for our homes to protect from wildfire smoke.
I report on climate change and related disasters. And I spend a lot of time thinking about how we got here, if we’re actually working towards a better future, and who’s being left behind along the way. I’m skeptical of where we’re going, but hopeful that we can end up in a better place than is projected in all those problematic “business as usual” scenarios.
I can be bought with a hot berry pie, punished with Passover chopped liver, and I love talking to people like you, so feel free to reach out.

These are the types of winds that make fires quite hard to stop.

The damage could take 10 or more years to fully restore.

How has wildlife been impacted? What caused the spill?
