[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

Contrary to what many think, I don't spend my time talking to dismissives and my only helpful tip is this: don't bother, unless (a) you enjoy arguing and never getting anywhere or (b) there are other people listening who need to know there are solid answers to their objections.

"No matter what happens to the protests... the most viral song in #Iran’s history, likely to be remembered for decades to come, isn’t about resistance to America or Israel or anywhere else. It’s a song about Iranian dreams for a normal life"—@ksadjadpour https://t.co/MqsUNHlEhh

"If we were not so single-minded
about keeping our lives moving,
and for once could do nothing,
perhaps a huge silence
might interrupt this sadness
of never understanding ourselves..."

"Perennial crops ... are sown, harvested from, and allowed to continue growing year after year. Because the soil sustaining them remains undisturbed, the roots reach deep into the earth, enriching a microbial world as diverse and rich as coral reefs."

Missing from this photo is my older brother, Christian.

Photo included in this book, which does a nice job of capturing the experience of growing up in the 80’s on an organic farm:

This award is a nod to my siblings, extended family and countless champions who have mentored, cared for and supported my Dad and mom through the decades.

Thank you to all.

My favorite part of a concert is the moment in the first few bars when my husband turns to me with a smile on his face.
