If you're following a CCLer, you'll eventually end up in the right place. — first time @cclusa.org volunteer #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate

Always great to meet with Shane Londagin with @hickenlooper.senate.gov to talk permitting reform. @cclusa.org really appreciates his hard work negotiating a deal to build clean energy faster, ensuring certainty and community input. #CCLinDC #GrassrootsClimate

It was wonderful to meet with @bennet.senate.gov and @cclusa.org about permitting reform and forestry today. Despite big conflict in American politics, there is a bipartisan path forward to improve our energy infrastructure and beloved forests. #CCLinDC

I have trouble getting things done without a fast-approaching deadline. Glad to see Congress has the same motivational challenge. #CCLinDC

Lindsey Graham's passing is a big loss for the Senate and conservative climate advocates. He was willing to build bipartisan & pragmatic consensus on contentious issues and unafraid to speak his mind on topics ranging from carbon pricing to Donald Trump. Washington needs more leaders like Sen Graham

I didn't expect a homework assignment this month, but here's my letter to the NSF about challenges that should be taken into consideration before reorganizing NCAR: drive.google.com/file/d/1bVeS...

I just learned that the CIA took The World Factbook offline last month with no notice. Fortunately the Internet has backup copies like cia-factbook-archive.fly.dev so you can look up the population of Burundi and tell people you got it from a CIA document the government doesn't want you to see.

CIA World Factbook Archive

36 years of structured intelligence data. Search, browse, compare, and export 1,071,603 fields across 281 entities (1990-2025).

Great letter by the American Academy of Actuaries supporting continued operations of NSF NCAR. Insurance and reinsurance companies depend on good climate models to make reasonable long-term predictions of risk. Dismantling NCAR means higher insurance prices for Americans. actuary.org/wp-content/u...

It's important to get into Good Treble, but don't neglect the Good Bass.

I had lunch at the Dark Horse yesterday, starting a one month countdown for Boulder's most iconic bar. First visit around age 12, high school date, college meals, shenanigans with coworkers, Ranger socials. We're all gonna miss this place. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/02/15/a...

After 51 years, Boulder’s Dark Horse is closing March 14 — fans are already saying goodbye

The longtime Boulder bar will close on its anniversary as redevelopment moves forward and weekly drop-in gatherings begin.
