Currently in Los Angeles — September 22, 2023: Some high clouds and a warm-up

Plus, announcing a very special Science Friday book club!

The weather, currently.

Some high clouds and a warm-up

Things finally cleared out of the Southland in the late afternoon yesterday, with partly cloudy skies away from the coast by 4 p.m. Tomorrow, we replace one form of cloudiness with another. The sun might not come out at all as we deal with some moisture streaming in from Tropical Storm Kenneth well off the coast.

At long last for the weekend, a modest warm up will begin with lower 80s in the warmest valley locations. A bit more seasonable, but still very much not like late September.

What you need to know, currently.

It’s my extreme thrill to announce a partnership with Science Friday’s book club series: During the month of October, Science Friday will be doing a series of events focusing on my book, The Future Earth.

You can RSVP for the book club discussion livestream here, and enter to win your free copy of the book — which will arrive just in time that you don’t miss a thing!

If you haven’t read The Future Earth yet, there’s an excerpt here, the book also features a series of thought experiments and small group exercises at the back, so it’s going to be really exciting to do all this with the huge audience that Science Friday will bring.

I wrote this book because I truly believe a better world that works for everyone is possible, and I wanted to imagine what it would be like to live in that world. If you’re in need of a bit of realistic hope-grounded-in-justice right now, I wrote this book just for you.

What you can do, currently.

Currently Sponsorships are short messages we co-write with you to plug your org, event, or climate-friendly business with Currently subscribers.

One of my favorite organizations, Mutual Aid Disaster Relief, serves as a hub of mutual aid efforts focused on climate action in emergencies — like hurricane season. Find mutual aid network near you and join, or donate to support existing networks:
