I am so angry today seeing the devastating cuts to my colleagues research funding and their grief at having to give notice to their research teams. Especially upset about cuts to indigenous resilience, flood risk and agrivoltaics work that has so much economic and risk reduction potential :(

At the US National Academy of Sciences meeting this morning, Ukrainian climate scientist, Svitlana Krakovska was elected as an international member. Election to membership in the US NAS recognizes excellence in research and is one of the highest honors a scientist can achieve.

Just called all my reps to express my shock and embarrassment at the way the President and VP behaved with the Ukrainian President today. Their bullying is unacceptable and a violation of diplomacy

‘Flow’ is a stunning animated film about animals working together to overcome adversity. No dialog, amazing landscapes..I found it very moving. Hope it gets Oscar.

I spent yesterday refreshing items in the Go/camping closet in my house. The last refresh was Mar 2020 prep for Covid. Most food was out of date (bugs in oatmeal) & some key docs (passports, drivers license etc all had renewed since). Washed spare clothes, sleeping bag etc. & checked batteries.

I moved to LA in 1980 to do my PhD on drought. One comps question was on how global warming might affect water, fires and ecosystems in LA and what would reduce the risk. 45 years later I’m horrified by the images of the fires and that rather than stabilize CO2 at 340ppm we are now at 426ppm.

Have done a couple of media interviews this week on the 5 year anniversary of release of IPCC 1.5C report and it made me realize how pessimistic I am about the lack of action since we wrote it :(

For a short contribution to a collective paper on climate governance I’d love to cite any papers on the geographies of the US inflation reduction act and recent federal legislation and exec orders related to climate. Suggestions welcome especially of papers written by geographers!
