So disappointing. Yes, we need to ramp up adaptation, but it's wildly premature to say "it's too late" and give up on decarbonization just because we didn't avoid climate impacts altogether.
A warmer world - with all its challenges - still deserves our love, and will always be worth fighting for.

New from me: An exclusive interview with David Suzuki, who talked about reaching the conclusion that humanity has failed in the fight against climate change, and why communities should start preparing for more destructive natural disasters #cdnpoli #cdnenviro

NOAA to stop tracking cost of climate crisis-fueled disasters: ‘Major loss’
You can’t adapt to what you refuse to measure. Cutting data is not an adaptation strategy; it’s denial

Every now and them I am surprised by expressions of how much I am loved by my friends and family, grateful for the community I've built for myself, and proud of just how much I've grown.

Trudeau's big regret is that he didn't do electoral reform in the way that helps the Liberals. Even though their commission recommended mixed member proportional, his big regret was that he didn't push through ranked ballots? Come on man.

Interviewer: can you explain the gap in your CV?
Climate adaptation scientist: Yes that's called the implementation gap, driven primarily by lack of funding, capacity, governance, knowledge, and leadership / political will.

My partner and I both went to visit our families for the holidays and it's going to be a long two weeks. I hope she has a great time with hers on the east coast because I love my family but they drive me bonkers.

Nothing says working in climate adaptation policy more than trying to convince your coworkers to let it have its moment in the spotlight without dragging mitigation and emergency management into the conversation from the get go

Would, that I could, escape the cold, damp, grey that marks the start of winter. I'll admit it's a bittersweet welcome from the balmy November we've had so far.

I say it all the time:
it’s legit to be frustrated as hell with the lack of govt to enact good climate policy
but also: the people in govt who are tasked with making good climate policy are equally frustrated with you, an individual whose choices they cannot make for you

People conflate these questions:
(1) Does individual action matter? (A deep tradition in ethics says "yes" but I respect friends who only emphasize collective action.)
(2) Is demand-side carbon reduction important? ("Yes" is scientifically correct.)

What if Everyone Did Something to Slow Climate Change?
Researchers are looking at the impact that individuals’ actions can have on reducing carbon emissions — and the best ways to get people to adopt them.
