What I Learned from LA Reporters Covering the Fires - USC Annenberg Center for Climate Journalism and Communication Like many others in Los Angeles, my family evacuated last night due to a quick-moving fire surging behind our home. We are amongst the fortunate who were able to return today, our house still standing...

Know what I love to see? A greenwashing crackdown 💥

Spent this week with some of the most accomplished climate people in the biz (ty Tom Steyer, ty Galvanize Summit) and I gotta say, the vibe was 💪💪💪 Yeah, people are concerned about deregulation, etc. in the new administration but everyone seems confident — the energy transition is here to stay!
