Uh oh
We do understand the #globalwarming caused by fossil fuels - for four decades it’s been going as predicted. But we don’t understand the surprise upward leap that is happening now. And that worries me.

Horrific.
5 people were killed in 8 days on Oakland’s deadly roads…Seniors, people of color, and people with disabilities are the population groups most likely to be injured or killed in a traffic collision, according to city and state data. https://t.co/h7EINJKAC8

I’ve seen a lot of salt ponds around the Bay, from the ground, from the air, from bridges and boats, and I have NEVER seen images like this! Enjoy the salt marsh eye candy
Near San Francisco, an ambitious wetlands restoration project is attempting to balance a return to the ecological past with the realities of a changing future.
