Any recommendations on what this means? He has a tendency to ignore court decisions. Could he do it with this? Will there be reimbursements? Thanks!

I spoke with Dr. Mekala Krishnan of the McKinsey Global Institute about their new #adaptation report.
When McKinsey starts modeling the real costs of heat, flooding, drought, and wildfire… you know adaptation has entered a new phase. The private sector is paying attention. 👀

You may find this map shocking. The crazy imbalance even surprised me!
It’s the ratio of record highs vs record lows in each city since 2020. That’s right, in Miami there have been 115 daily record highs, but only 1 record morning low! Phoenix: 138 to 0!… 1/
📬 New newsletter is out. This edition highlights my interview with Dr. Shiran Victoria Shen on how #climate #adaptation emerges in China after the 2021 Henan floods — and what that reveals about governance, public pressure, and risk.
Also sharing international episodes from the archive 🇦🇺🌍
🎙️ New podcast with @americaadapts.bsky.social 🎙️
#ClimateAdaptation in #China 🇨🇳 — what the 2021 Henan flood taught us about public demand, participation, and the limits of top-down policy.

🌏 New pod on #climateadaptation in #China.
After the Henan flood, citizens used message boards to demand safety and infrastructure. A useful look at how public participation shapes adaptation.
And a reminder that adaptation lessons don’t stop at national borders.

Check out the latest America Adapts podcast focused on climate adaptation across Arizona, featuring me and adaptation leaders in Tucson, Phoenix, and Flagstaff! #climatechange #adaptation #resilience
New podcast alert!
On-the-ground adaptation from the desert: shade that changes how people move, smarter heat-season ops, responsible water planning. 🌵

New America Adapts pod! 🎧
@keenanclimate.com joins me (again) to talk about his new book, North: The Future of Post-Climate America. It’s not about disasters — it’s about how the U.S. is already changing as we adapt. We also touch on Florida through a fictional chapter set in 2079!

Joel Scata (NRDC)
Michael Coen (former #FEMA Chief of Staff)
Samantha Medlock (former FEMA Assistant Administrator)
Derrick Hiebert (AECOM)
Thanks for the plug!
Great #climaterisk episode here if you haven't listened. @keenanclimate.com has some good advice - adaptation communication isn't just on bluesky starter packs. Talk to people. Have found this super useful here in CA.

🌊 Unmanaged Retreat 🌎
Isle de Jean Charles was supposed to show us how to move communities out of harm’s way. Instead, it became a tangle of politics, confusion & broken promises. Reporter Terry Jones joins me to unpack what really happened.

If Dems don't use this footage in campaign ads, overlaid with messages about him destroying healthcare, jobs (whatever), they don't deserve to be elected. It should be in every candidates campaign attack ads. Trump is destroying America, starting with the White House.
🌍🎙️ Re-release!
@katharinemach.bsky.social joins me to unpack how the @ipcc.bsky.social really works—and how the media both succeeds and fails to tell its story.
With the Trump admin dismantling the National Climate Assessment, the IPCC’s role matters more than ever.

I listen to podcasts about podcasting and most say it's not worth the excess work of dealing with video content. It's not some magical way to gain new listeners. Seems to only benefit the podcast giants. I'd be willing to do it if there was evidence for more listeners, but not hearing that.
Listen to our latest briefing via the @americaadapts.bsky.social podcast. #scipol #scicomm #climatechange
New (unusual) America Adapts #podcast: #ClimateChange & Human Mobility — rebroadcast from the @ccst.us series I moderated.
