Climate Week En Review: August 2, 2024
It's Heat Wave August, with heat advisories today covering about 150 million of us in the U.S. Easily my least favorite month of the year anyway—with the exception of the very last day, which is my...

Climate Week En Review: July 26, 2024
Hello from the shores of Lake Placid! Actually, I'm closer to Saranac Lake, but the house I'm staying at this week in New York is a short drive from Lake Placid and I'm loving the coincidence of...
Climate Week En Review: July 19, 2024
Hey, hey, hey… we are MELTING in the DMV this week with multiple days past 100 degrees and nights that aren’t cooling off enough for my taste. It makes one miss the good old days of normal summer, sleeping with the windows open, and yes, I’m of the age that if we were thirsty and playing outside, we drank from the hose.
Climate Week En Review: July 12, 2024
Here comes the rain again… looks like a potentially soggy weekend for me, but I’m not sad about it. My garden has been a little crunchy with our lack of rain, so I will take it!

Climate Week En Review: June 28, 2024
Bye, June. Each day is getting shorter as we march to autumn (or so I keep telling myself). Still, it’s hard to believe next week is the Fourth of July! And since the team is taking both the holiday on Thursday and Friday off, you can look for Week En Review to hit your inboxes on Wednesday! Happy birthday, America!

Climate Week En Review: June 21, 2024
Yesterday was the first day of summer, but this heat wave is anything but normal popsicle weather with 94 million Americans under a heat advisory. The Capital Weather Gang is telling those of us in the DC area to limit outdoor activities after 11am this weekend, if possible. But at least I do not live in New Delhi, India, which just hit their 37th day in a row of temperatures 104 degrees or higher. How many days until fall?
EcoRight Speaks, Season 8, Episode 15: EcoRight Networker Alina Clough

Climate Week En Review: June 14, 2024
Hello from Scotland, where I have been working the last few days (from a wee AirBnB in Glasgow) but today I’m technically off from work and as you read this, am riding a gravel bike around the Isle of Arran! I’m not even sure I’ve told my teammates this, as the trip was made pretty quickly on the heels of the Jordan Bike Trail experience and maybe I’m reticent to admit that I am truly a biker chick now!
