Been running an independent newsletter for 11 months now. Just scheduled my 95th email to send in the morning. I still get nervous every time. Miss having an editor but it's also made me a better writer, forcing me to make every word, every graf, every idea as strong as possible on my own.

I wrote about my favorite climate TV show. Yes it is a "Monsters, Inc." spin-off. No they never say the word "climate." But trust me it's definitely about renewables vs. fossil fuels, I asked one of the writers! (Who is married to Kathryn Hahn.) Today's CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES:

Last night at 11:29 p.m., California just barely passed a law making it easier for farmers in drought-stressed regions to convert their land to solar projects. Big win for climate! It should not have been so hard. My behind-the-scenes story: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/chaos-energy

Will California build solar on drought-stressed farmland? A late-summer nail-biter in Sacramento.

Embarrassed and furious that many Dodgers are at the White House right now. It’s a stab in the back to Los Angeles and their fanbase. Their ownership group should know better. Shame on them. Credit to Mookie and Kiké for opting out.

While Democrats fool around with climate hushing, popular Olympic athletes — including NBA legend Russell Westbrook! — are out there sounding the alarm about global warming. So much for "shut up and dribble." My latest at CLIMATE-COLORED GOGGLES: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/athletes-n...

Commentary: Are the Dodgers tone deaf? White House visit is an insult to their fans

For a franchise built on a diverse, immigrant-heavy fan base, the Dodgers' decision to visit President Trump at the White House — again — makes no sense.

I mean, very possible it will happen, but we're two months out and Trump's White House is notorious for lying to get people to bend to its will? And clearly they know there will be pressure on the Dodgers not to show up? This just feels weird.
