It's been a while, because I have been settling in after my move (to hurricane country! 🌀😁), but here's a summer read! My debut novel, THE INHERITORS.
A timely #clifi political #satire by an angry US atmospheric scientist. Also a story about family trauma. 🪐📚💙⚡📚🖋️

I am at the point where Facebook has become my preferred social media outlet for interacting as a writer. It lets me post the essays that I want to write. Instagram is kind of okay, but it's image-centric. Threads is for short posts. Bluesky is too (and I have to use a VPN to get on it... shhhh 🤫).

We are all guilty. We all built this.
I'm here, as you see. And I've curated my own subscriptions, like this one, that tell me what makes me feel vindicated. I'm guilty too.
If you read THE INHERITORS and thought it was too grim, this sort of realization is where I was coming from when I wrote it.

I have made exactly one sale since someone tanked my rating a couple of weeks ago, probably over politics. This is deeply depressing.
#booksky, IF YOU LIKE A BOOK, REVIEW IT. Especially if it's about a topic that will draw haters. Don't overthink how to do it "unproblematically." They sure don't.

The second is *exactly* the kind of pseudo-activism that drives me bananas, as an atmospheric scientist who is profoundly concerned and wants to see *real* solutions to go to zero.
It's not what you, little Joe and Jane Citizen, are doing that's the problem. We can prove that with models.

Smart climate action: “I wonder what the biggest pollution sources are, and how easy it would be to lower them substantially?” Then doing it.
Dumb climate action: “I’m going to pick on things I don’t like personally and complain about their emissions, even if they’re tiny.” Then do nothing.

Hey, meteorology Bluesky: For the past day and a half, many of you've called for BLOCKS of liberal accounts for "spreading misinformation." Insisted that the cuts made no difference.
I.e., THAT THE NWS DIDN'T NEED THOSE VACANCIES FILLED.
That is how I SAID it would be taken, and I was right.

Some rather angry thoughts on the Texas floods. And I'm angry at my own profession, quite frankly.
It's great to defend colleagues' work. But when you dive in with "they did GREAT and the cuts didn't matter a bit," YOU ARE CONCEDING POINTS TO THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CUT NOAA.
Why would you do that?

This is not just the removal of exemptions or subsidies. This is a TAX ON CLEAN ENERGY.
Why? Because they see the people who work in green energy and climate science as the enemy.
I really believe that this is no longer primarily about enriching the fossil-fuel industry. It's the culture war.

Republicans are now suddenly planning to TAX renewable energy, transforming the repeal of the IRA from a challenge to a full-blown crisis for American solar and wind.
I spent the last 24 hours putting this story together to explain why.

The climb continues, now for the paperback too! I was frustrated the first month, but it's catching on now that I'm buying ads so it gets seen. And it seems that April and May were rough all around for indie books. June has definitely been a bonanza for me, though. ☺️
