Apr 22: The planet feels too big to understand let alone control
That's why it's so great that @AndrewPJones and @climateinteract gave the world the En-ROADS climate policy tool.

Apr 22: “Research shows that showing people research doesn’t work.”
That's how MIT's John Sterman opens climate seminars. Experience teaches like nothing else, so they made climate the ultimate massively multiplayer online game https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-04-22/the-professor-who-turns-climate-change-into-a-game

July 6: Racism is a systemic problem impossible to separate from the institutions and networks that perpetuate it. So is climate change, but it isn’t talked about that way nearly often enough. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-06/coal-oil-and-gas-don-t-burn-themselves-to-cause-climate-change
Aug 3: @impact_lab assembled "the most comprehensive dataset ever" on mortality to estimate where heat will kill the most people: Today's poverty indicates tomorrow's heat-death risk. With @plmrry and @rachaeldottle https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2020-climate-heat-inequality/
Aug 17: Caught up w @Weather_West who explained how heat, drought primed the West for very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad fires. Within 72 hrs, 12,000 dry-lightning strikes in CA ignited the worst fires on record. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-08-17/california-blackouts-heatwave-raises-fire-risk-in-climate-change-loop
Oct 11: 2020 hurled 30 Atlantic cyclones at us, 12 hitting the U.S., a record. @shannongsims was on the ground in Cameron, LA, after Hurricanes Laura and Delta hit the delta: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-10-11/-nothing-left-how-back-to-back-hurricanes-gutted-a-u-s-town
Nov 10: No one expected CA wildfires to harm cities again after kerosene lighting disappeared. How many homes are about to join the 2.2m in severe fire hazard zones? CalFire's head risk-mapper wouldn't tell @leslieatlarge — but it keeps him up at night. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-11-10/wildfires-are-torching-california-s-insurance-industry-amid-climate-change
Dec 8: The biggest polluters aren't just oil, gas, and coal companies. They share their responsibility with public-relations firms, lawyers, consultants, and many other fossil-fuel-enablers for hire.
Their contribution can't be quantified -- or can it? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-08/lawyers-and-publicists-need-their-own-emissions-category-call-it-scope-x

Dec 22: There are many reasons to write books. One of the most significant historically is to canonize the voices and values of a community and elevate them for others to emulate, and for posterity.
Here's one that does just that. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-12-22/this-book-about-climate-change-will-give-you-hope
