I published a children's book today — Chester's Way.
Here's a Q&A about the book, much of which was inspired by my work @UCLAIoES

Our experts are constantly asked to weigh in on these same old stories — leading to capacity issues — but when truly groundbreaking research comes out, no one comes knocking (unless the research happens to line up with traditional environmental news narratives).
🐿️ I wrote a children's book called Chester's Way about an adventurous, unusual squirrel — it is now beautifully illustrated across 52 full-color pages by Niara Fullard. 🐿️
The book will be available for pre-sale in a month or so. Here's a near-final sneak peek of a few pages.

Fact Check: Wrong ❌
Volcanoes emit just 1/60th of the CO2 humans emit per year
“[Volcanic emissions are] not the same as what we’re doing, which is 365 days a year ... for decades and decades and decades"

I want to draw attention to this important research from @MichaelRoss7, which you may have missed amid elections/#COP27.
After looking at decades of global data, gas taxes and cutting subsidies almost never last.
It's time to try other strategies.

Shoutout to @Weather_West, an absolute environmental warrior (though not an activist!).
He’s been relentlessly explaining this research to media and public audiences — all while recovering from Covid-19.
Despite the current drought, climate change is making catastrophic flooding in CA more likely and more severe.
