@CAL_FIRE @PlacerCA @cal_office Nice fireproofing. But don’t forget to also integrate flood proofing with rain gardens and storm water infiltration / green infrastructure.

@Robertplant61 🙏 thank you for many years of joy and great music.

@abundanceinst @RainmakerCorp About 10 years ago, we looked at cloud seeding in western NV for an irrigation district. At best, results were mixed, and often overshot target watersheds. To say it works is perhaps an oversimplification.

@RobertHoglund No surprise. Yet similar studies (paywall blocked my review) tend to suffer from extrapolation errors and exaggerated benefit. Woody biomass is also essential for habitat and other functions, so mass burial as a strategy has issues. But managed forests can benefit adaptation

@paulgambill Inherently, regulatory mindsets focus on limits and protections. We need mgmt and governance that is focused on functional systems (science + economics).

@dsaezgil Appreciate your candid and vulnerable share. Always tough to downsize. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

@JVMonte2 Had a crush on Karen Carpenter. That chick smoked her kit.

@PeterMinor @WSJ The space has been high jacked by legalistic accountants designing systems for a mature market. They argue that more rigorous regulation will make the market. But that never happens. Markets must reach escape velocity first. Aggressive regulation kills early markets.

[Michael Liquori @symbeosis]

@PeterMinor @WSJ Not just possible. Essential. Simplest is to pool funding, build diverse project portfolios, and take an experimental approach w/integrity in MRV. Buyers tolerate failed projects as long as there is rigor. No tolerance for grift or lazy pipe dreams.

@tferriss So how do we train people to be experts enough to guide AI if nobody has to do the work that generates expertise?

[Michael Liquori @symbeosis]

@DustinMulvaney A client lost funding to restore water supply infrastructure to a wildfire impacted community, presumably because it included the words “climate adaptation” in the project title.

@Hotshot_Movie Or just mechanically thin and pile burn. Probably cheaper in most cases. But an interesting idea. 🤔

@LimitlessLif3 Thank you.

@ConnieB_PFT @PacificForest I was bummed to miss Fete. Had another commitment out of town. The video was lovely. Congrats on a wonderful contribution to forestry.

@edels0n Ugh.
