Sobering takeaway “This has become a grim hallmark of a warming world. …And in a warmer, warming world, more and more people — in the Caribbean as well as in the U.S. — are likely to join a grim, catastrophic club.” #ClimateFutures #Adaptation #Resilience
I wrote for @msnbc.com about Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica, rapid intensification, emissions imbalances, and what a storm that strong might do to the US:

Following Hurricane Melissa's devastation, Jamaica’s decade-long effort to build financial resilience will be tested.

RIP to Malcolm Jamal-Warner, who reportedly has died after drowning in Costa Rica at the age of 54.
For many of us, he was the brother we never had on The Cosby Show. He later appeared on shows like The Resident.
He leaves behind a wife and daughter.
This one hurts.
