Mainstage #VERGE22, @CFigueres of Global Optimism makes a good point: "I am concerning that overriding climate narrative is shifting from optimism to pessimism…..We need to dig into our deep conviction that we CAN face the urgency of climate change"

Your next corporate job: Protecting biodiversity | Trellis

Jobs focusing on preserving and regenerating nature are on the rise. The focus: mitigating risk and seizing opportunity. Will "nature positive" be the next "net zero"?

I swam Alcatraz Invitational yesterday. Water very warm by SF bay standards (64).When I first swam it seven years ago it was 8 degrees cooler, sadly. Luckily no algae blooms yesterday. A nice respite from the crazy heat we are having. Old guy humble brag:I finished in top third.
