Currently in Boston — October 26, 2023: Warm for a few more days

The weather, currently.

Temperatures got into the 70s earlier today and will be there again for the next several days. We will have some cloudiness mixing with the sunshine. Look for highs on Thursday in the mid-70s. It will remain mild at night staying in the 50s. This is early in the heating season but still this does save some fuel cost. As we head for Friday temperatures will be back to the mid-70s and then really warm for Saturday. Temperatures to start the weekend could be as high as 80° over inland areas with 70s elsewhere. It turns cooler for Sunday with cloudiness and some shower activity.

What you need to know, currently.

On Wednesday, I joined Science Friday’s book club for a live video chat about my book The Future Earth — and the discussion was one of the best I’ve had in a long time.

My book is about hopeful and possible paths to escape climate doom and bring about collective liberation — and as brutal as this year has been, I know any evidence of hope is very much needed right about now.

If you have an hour, give it a listen. And thank you all for supporting me and my work in each of your ways over the time we’ve known each other. 🙏
