I've switched instances, so a new #introduction.

I'm a #climate and #water scientist, co-founder and Senior Fellow at the Pacific Institute in Oakland.

I'm interested in all things sustainability, but also birds, mandolin, and random other things. Politics too.

I'm a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and various professional scientific organizations.

Most of my publications and musings are at www.gleick.com.

US Judiciary deletes a chapter on #climate science in the newest edition of its reference manual on scientific evidence because apparently science is a left-leaning concept and MAGAs complained.

The media reports, over and over, how cold it is in the eastern US, but they're silent about how hot it is in the west. The lower-48 as a whole were almost a degree hotter than average in January.
And there's terrible snowpack in the west, critical for water supply, as what little precipitation has been rain.
