Sitting at Asilomar listening to Tim Profeta talk about climate litigation with a bunch of judges. Lovely and depressing
I take solace in that Asilomar is such a timeless place to think about hard problems for society.
And also, the whole damn place is a crazy fire hazard. Some of the buildings still have wood shake roofs!!! All are wood shingle sided. No zone zero anywhere. This is a state park I’m pretty sure.
To me, this looks like a setup for the kind of fire season Australia experienced in 2019-2020. But there’s plenty of time for nature to give us an off-ramp from that future. And I’ll certainly welcome that luck.
Up on Mt Tam to drop my family’s stuff for the Mountain Play and feeling so much gratitude for all the hard work making *and actually burning* burn piles up here. Great work State Parks, Marin Fire, MWPA, MMWD! You should have a booth up here to tell everybody all about your work!
This is the kind of thing that I hope the next governor (as has Newsom) will focus on. It is not the kind of thing that will create MOUs at international meetings. It is the kind of thing that will ultimately end our dependence on fossil fuels and reduce our vulnerability to their price swings. .
