The climate crisis is deadly serious…which is why we need jokes.

I went to a climate comedy show and wrote about the comics using humor to bash Exxon and remind people we’ve got solutions. Also chatted with the great Nick Offerman.

Read this great (& funny) Sammy Roth column about #ClimateChange comedy. Yes, this exists! I appear as his former editor who hates cliches, but I'm retired so he lets one rip. I would argue that his 'cliche' is really an aphorism, which I would allow lol latimes.com/environment/ne…

Defending the freedom of the press isn't just about delivering the news. It's about defending our democracy via public access. NAHJ proudly stands w/our allies calling on Texas DPS to drop the spurious charges against photojournalist Carlos Sanchez #JournalismIsNotACrime

California’s political power players have wasted too much time sparring over which types of solar energy to build. The infighting is exasperating and, as the climate crisis worsens, embarrassing.
