An important and insightful article of your personal witness to how climate change has devastated nature.

As Autumn approaches, new shoots that should herald Spring are now emerging from the parched soil after rain that was quickly absorbed by thirsty ground. Climate change has changed everything.

The news of Patagonia’s owner gifting all profits to fight climate change and protect undeveloped land is truly welcome news.

Meanwhile in Washington, Rep Ro Khanna is presenting evidence tomorrow showing Oil Majors, after voicing commitment to reduce greenhouse gasses, secretly plotted to do the reverse. And joked about it among themselves.

This is a brilliant article wonderfully written with your vast dedication and experience in the field of climate change. Thank you for all your work.

And thanks for the mention of Eunice Foote! I remember you writing about her years ago. If only she’d been given proper attention!

I just read about Yvon Chouinard’s extraordinary generosity on Twitter. He is truly a great citizen of our world. A man of principles and with a conscience.
