So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

My latest for @science.org: A remarkable set of high-resolution climate model runs, computed over 900 (!) days of supercomputing time, are revealing how warming-induced changes to Earth's wind patterns due can prime huge spikes in extreme rainfall.
But the MESACLIP runs also do much more than that.

With details as fine as short-term weather forecasts, model achieves newfound accuracy

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Climate science, entomology, they're Greek to me. They've been yelling "danger" at us for years, but in a language we clearly don't understand.
So I'll fill you in on what a little bird told me:
Nothing.
Just like the bugs that no longer dance around my porch light.
It's grown awful quiet lately.
