Once, when I interviewed Jane Goodall, I took my son with me to meet her. She was far more interested in talking to him than talking to me. The way she has her hand on his shoulder in this pic says everything about her. RIP to a great woman, a great scientist, a great human.

As part of a reporting trip to Peru, I went for a long hike yesterday in the Andes and visited some fast-vanishing tropical glaciers. During this Crazy Time, it's so good to leave the keyboard behind and get outside and hear nature tell her own story about what stupid humans are doing to her.

How much has been lost? 10 years ago today, I talked w @barackobama.bsky.social in Alaska talking about climate change: "Each time I get a scientific report, I’m aware that we have less time than we thought, that this is happening faster than we thought..."

Escaped the tyranny of the keyboard yesterday and went for a drive and found a mountain. My work-thickened blood turned to wine (h/t John Muir)

Sat on a rock in the rain today in a national park and thought about the fact that we have a president who has almost certainly never had a quiet moment in nature in his 78 years on the planet. That simple fact explains so much.

At our morning meeting today, my friends celebrated the soon-to-skyrocket cost of cars and trucks (“Thank you President Trump!”) and foresee a bright future for themselves in recreation, transportation, and agricultural work.

It's a sign of how twisted our world has become that I was surprised yesterday to walk into the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute and see a graphic that frankly acknowledges the central role fossil fuels play in heating up the ocean.
