I think this is the first instance of the state setting up a protection plan for a plentiful species that faces extinction under future climate conditions

As a public service, people will find the original pdf files of all the U.S. National Climate Assessments, 2001-2023, publicly available at: www.patrickgonzalez.net#us_national_...
Something I'm telling myself today, maybe someone else needs to hear: despair is a LUXURY

Those on the front lines of structural racism & climate impacts don't have a choice, they have to cope w/ what's happening, they don't get to check out

Rest. Then return to building a safer & more just world.
Same. Clowns have to be subtle & clever to be successful. Clowns hold a mirror up to those in power in satire, help them find their humanity. I do not love this administration's henchmen being called clowns as an insult.
So, this is from like 2019 and Agence France-Presse says it's fabricated - created as a joke

The March 19 EO "Achieving Efficiency Through State and Local Preparedness" required a National Resilience Strategy within 90 days (June 17). Did anything get published? I mean after Biden's National Resilience Strategy (20 p.) or National Adaptation & Resilience Strategy (898 p.) published in Jan.
I was recently voted on to the City of Davis' Climate & Environmental Justice Commission & before I'm sworn in I have to do some onboarding trainings. I'm watching the conflict of interest training- it has a slide that just says "Do Not Take Bribes" - with a photo of ex-SF Public Works Dir. M. Nuru

Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many—they are few.

Scoop: NOAA's climate portal, climate.gov, will soon no longer publish new content after its staff were recently dismissed.

Former staff fear that the website may become a mouthpiece for the administration's anti-science views.

My latest for @theguardian.com:

Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired
Exclusive: Climate.gov, which supports public education on climate science, will soon no longer publish new content

Just a reminder as you get your signs ready for next Saturday please put a message on both sides of your sign

The people standing behind you also want to know what you have to say
Is this information current? The date on that article is March 2023
My entry point into adaptation work was a 2008 talk by journalist Isabel Hilton on the dire implications of the loss of the Himalayan glaciers. After, there was a stunned silence. A voice asked "what can we do?" She said "work on climate adaptation." I wrote down the word "adaptation."
A small group of monks, scientists, government officials and community members gathered today in Langtang, Nepal, to mark the decline of one of the most studied glaciers in the central Himalaya.
Please write more when you have a chance! I love your writing & really want to know more about this
This sucks.

“What seems so strange to me,” said Jason Vogel, deputy director of the Climate Impacts Group and co-director of the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative, “is that what initially appeared to be an attack on climate science [...] is becoming an attack on vulnerable communities.”
The canceled program, called the Northwest Climate Resilience Collaborative, was responsible for a plan to reduce illness and save lives in extreme heat in the wake of the 2021 heat dome, among other things.

Outlawing seatbelts? This administration probably has someone looking at how to do that
Went to the Ruth Asawa retrospective at the SF MOMA today, looking at her work honoring those sent to detention under EO 9066 and the Alien Enemies Act & wondering when the monuments to the "Alien Enemies" removed to El Salvador and elsewhere w/o due process will be built
