A brief note: I have been overwhelmed with media and other requests (over 300 since Tuesday) regarding the (ongoing) Southern CA wildfire disasters. I'm currently battling both an upper respiratory infection and an autoinflammatory flare. Thank you for your continued patience and understanding!

After 15 months of global heating records, Earth finally caught a break: September wasn't another record-shatterer. Instead, it was the 2nd-warmest September. Meanwhile, a U.N. report released today shows we're far from taming global heating. @DiscoverMag discovermagazine.com/environment/we…

Thanks to a massive flare and explosion on the Sun, millions of people were treated recently to dazzling aurora borealis displays of red, green and pink lights in the sky. But the view from space may have been even more mind-blowing. @DiscoverMag discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/t…

From open water at the North Pole, to a marathon run on an ice floe, it was quite an Arctic summer. The ice shriveled to its lowest extent for the year on Sept. 11, covering ~749,000 fewer square miles of ocean than the long-term average. @DiscoverMag discovermagazine.com/environment/fr…

3/ The report reveals new details about climate change, including dissipating cloudiness, paltry precipitation (but also stronger deluges), expanding drought, record-setting wildfires, shriveling glaciers and ice sheets, and rising sea level. @DiscoverMag discovermagazine.com/environment/fr…

The Alexander Mountain fire lights up the night sky over the foothills near Loveland, CO. It has scorched 5,080 acres—more than a third the size of Manhattan. It's 0% contained. (I took the photo late Tuesday from ~23 miles away in Niwot, with a long lens.)

Two fire-fighting planes circle over the Stone Canyon Fire during a smokey sunset today. As of 9p, the blaze had scorched ~1,320 acres, according to the Boulder Office of Disaster Management. That's a huge increase in size in just a matter of hours. Two structures have been lost.
