The worst has happened. Yet another white, single man in his late 20s who lives in Brooklyn and has too many tote bags has created a substack.
It was me, I did it.

There's been a lot of writing about how the world will continue without the US being in the Paris agreement, or how cities in the USA will still pursue their goals, and I hear these arguments, but they forgot to consider:
I really want the US to still be in the Paris Agreement

I was so excited about the news of Biden banning offshore drilling in certain areas and it was SWIFTLY washed away with news of LAs wildfires and meta's discontinuation of fact checkers due to "censorship."

Recently there's been a lot of small signs that maybe I should move from NYC to Chicago, and this good news also made the list grist.org/cities/chica...
Chicago keeps its New Year's resolution: All city buildings now use 100% clean power
To achieve its climate goals, the city helped finance the largest solar farm east of the Mississippi River.

Woke up at 4am for a flight, waited so long in the baggage check line I missed it, and am now back in bed. It's like I interrupted my sleep for an awful experience just to be in bed again. Feels like smth French Catholics would've done in the 1500s and called it penance

Even a single degree of warming can have devastating consequences for the natural world.

Back when I was doing more boots on the ground work, these (iconically ripped) black carhartts got me through everything, but I could only mend them so many times. Just sewed them into a new portfolio so that they're still forwarding climate badassery (holding to do lists)

New blog post reflecting on what it was like to breathe in smoke from fires in New York City, after living through fire seasons in California. This post has a LOT of feelings in it. medium.com/@ian.hunt27/...

This was my first attempt to write about my experiences working (and not working) with water out in California, but what I love most is that I would write this SO differently now. It's nice to see growth in my writing even from earlier this year. www.climateimaginations.org/february-2024
