For those interested in climate mitigation and geo engineering at #AGU2022 — enjoy the large scale albedo enhancement deployment event scheduled for the end of the week in Chicago.

So no floor 13 at my #AGU2022 hotel. I wonder whether when they came to laying the foundations, they considered pile driving into the bedrock, but decided instead to throw a lucky rabbits foot onto unconsolidated mud. I think I feel safer with evidence/science based decisions.

Personally, I could do without the mountain mood lighting. I mean, it is not as if I am out on a date with the Devil. At least, I thought I swiped Satan left/right/whatever. #fairviewfire

Just doin’ the dishes. Nothing to see outside. #fairviewfire

California is all pretty lights and sunsets. Until it catches on fire. #fairviewfire (not reached the national forest and base of this mountain yet)
