Currently in San Francisco — October 26, 2023: Sunshiney Thursday

The weather, currently.

Thursday will be a beautiful Bay Area day. There isn’t a more creative or evocative way to state that. In SF, daytime highs will creep up into the mid-60s, and we’ll have full sun much of the day with very little wind. Overnight, it’ll get a bit colder than it’s been with lows around 50 and increasingly clouds and wind.

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. 🙏
