There are a lot of gems here & one of the most interesting is about teaching today: “My students have clients who have a site that was flooded by a storm that's off the charts and doesn't map to a known frequency. It’s no longer about the future, engineers are facing these situations right now.”

Glad to have had a chance to talk with Margaret Garcia, a sustainable water engineer at Arizona State working on how to make small, doable changes to legacy infrastructure like Glen Canyon and Hoover dams. She has a unique perspective after many years spent with Engineers Without Borders.

I was interviewing a French journalist and he said public ownership of the major infrastructure for water and electricity is a massive anti-fascist coalition builder among labor, greens, socialists AND the public at large when benefits are widely shared and immediately felt (and would be missed!)

I don't have the powers to continuously rise above that my profession taught me to believe that I held, and that my clients expected. There are clients currently calling their therapists when they are both being evacuated from fire zones. I don't see how hyperindividual models work crisis.

13,000 people have been evacuated from parts of Oroville (about 65 miles north of Sacramento) due to the #ThompsonFire. As of early this morning it's at 3000 acres, with 0% containment, and the air quality in Oroville has gone to shit.

I mean, that *is* the flip side. Chevron also kept some groups pushing for stricter regulations.

The correct response to Chevron being overturned is for every single environmental group to start filing millions of lawsuits, right now, today, arguing that various regulatory decisions didn't go far enough. Absolutely flood the zone.

Somewhat heartened by a science communication panel I was on today. I gave a very “energetic” short comment on #scicomm as a labor issue, as I do. It definitely makes some folks uncomfortable, but I also felt a lot more receptivity from many people. Especially those who asked how to help!

California water officials backed legislation to curb well-drilling where nearby wells could run dry, and in areas where the ground is sinking. Senators rejected the bill after opposition from the agriculture industry, business groups and water agencies. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Yes, building U.S. cities in hot deserts w/o water wasn’t a great move - but too few know that HEATING homes uses more energy than COOLING does. Homes in Miami use less energy to control climate than homes in Minneapolis, but we don’t finger-wag about the foolishness of building in cold places.

“New satellite data confirms that every corner of the earth has the incorrect quantity of water,” the report read in part, noting that even though the total amount of water on the planet seemed to be about right, the distribution of that water across the globe was “way off.”
