Currently in NYC — October 26, 2023: Way too warm for October
Plus, a discussion on realistic hope and stubborn optimism.

The weather, currently.
Near record warmth
We will be very close to a record high on Thursday that was set back in 1964. The record is 78°F and our projected high is 77°F. Sidenote- the top MUSIC record of 1964 was “I Want to Hold Your Hand” by The Beatles. Aside from being way too warm for October, it’s also getting dark way too early for my liking. Our sunset on Thursday will be the last sunset at 6pm or later until March. Enjoy the mostly sunny and awkwardly warm day.

What you need to know, currently.
On Wednesday, I joined Science Friday’s book club for a live video chat about my book The Future Earth — and the discussion was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.
My book is about hopeful and possible paths to escape climate doom and bring about collective liberation — and as brutal as this year has been, I know any evidence of hope is very much needed right about now.
If you have an hour, give it a listen. And thank you all for supporting me and my work in each of your ways over the time we’ve known each other. 🙏
