Currently in Los Angeles — October 26, 2023: Clearing in the afternoon
Plus, a discussion on realistic hope and stubborn optimism.

The weather, currently.
Clearing in the afternoon
As predicted, Wednesday was a very cloudy day across the L.A. region with a 5,000 ft deep marine layer and many inland locations seeing 100% cloud cover well into the afternoon. Drizzle and light rain fell in the San Gabriel Valley. The trough that is to blame will move across the area today, bringing similarly cool weather though likely better afternoon clearing.
What you need to know, currently.
On Wednesday, I joined Science Friday’s book club for a live video chat about my book The Future Earth — and the discussion was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.
My book is about hopeful and possible paths to escape climate doom and bring about collective liberation — and as brutal as this year has been, I know any evidence of hope is very much needed right about now.
If you have an hour, give it a listen. And thank you all for supporting me and my work in each of your ways over the time we’ve known each other. 🙏
