I had the honor of giving another lecture on climate change at Cal Poly this week. I was incredibly impressed by the students’ thoughtful questions, insightful observations, and their understanding of the challenges we face in the future. On May 19, we will be offering a boat tour of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary from 7:15 to 10:00 AM aboard Patriot Sportfishing at Port San Luis in Avila Beach, California. This boat trip will have members of the SLO Climate Coalition and the Central Coast Aquarium on board. To purchase tickets, please visit: share.hsforms.com/2KDUrB2uORpObp… Then, on May 21, I will be giving a presentation titled “Mysteries of the Climate” for the Santa Barbara–Goleta Valley branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). I would love to see you at one of these events!

❄ California's snowpack is at 10–20%, a new record low. That number matters more than most people realize. Think of snowpack as a slow-release water source. As temperatures rise, melting snow keeps plants and grasses hydrated longer, holding off the dry conditions that wildfires thrive on. When the snowpack is low, that moisture disappears faster. Vegetation dries out weeks earlier than normal, and the drier the grass and brush, the easier it ignites, and the faster fire moves through it. This year, an unusually dry and warm end to winter accelerated that process, leaving the vegetation with moisture levels far below what is typical for this time of year. Fire activity in California does not follow a predictable schedule, and conditions this year are a reminder that preparation cannot wait. 🔥 📷 @ALERTCalifornia #DefensibleSpace #WildfirePreparedness #ReadyForWildfire #Snowpack #KnowYourRisk
