I have been many things to many people in many places over my long life. I have come to realize I am nothing and no one.
I worked in the sciences in some manner all of my career. My last 10 career years focused on finding practical planetary engineering scaled solutions to climate change.
Finally a quote about patience I like for reasons:
"…to tolerate the ignorant and those who follow current opinions without examination.” Marcus Aurelius
Erik Uden 🚩when mr. rogers died nobody had to defend him, say he was a loving father with kids, or claim we was quoted out of context, everyone knew he was a nice guy. lots to learn here.
🚨 It’s official: 2026 had the lowest annual maximum Arctic sea ice extent on record - essentially tied with last year’s record low.
Climate change is reshaping the Arctic, and it's all throughout the year.

Our latest Climate Shift Index alert is out, summarizing the additional record heat this week: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-shift-index-alert?#record-breaking-march-heatwave-intensified-by-climate-change-continues-to-shatter-records-across-the-us
"From March 24 through 27, more than 42.5 million people across the western U.S. will experience at least one day with maximum temperatures at CSI of 3 or higher, indicating a strong influence from climate change."

Feel free to use and share any of my real-time graphics. I am also working (in my free time) to secure alternative data sources in case of future federal budget cuts. Let me know if you have questions or if these visuals help your work – I always love hearing how they are used!

This is an unexpected opportunity. Speed, safety, security, and efficiency would be key I would think.

A Once-in-a-4,433-Year Heat Wave Is Hitting the Western U.S.
It is difficult to describe how bonkers this week’s heat wave is in the southwestern United States. Alan Gerard, a typically even-keeled meteorologist with 35 years of forecasting experience under his belt, attempted to do so in a recent edition of his newsletter, Balanced Weather. He settled on: “j...
This is quite a map - highlighting that 2026 is leading the way for many stations stretching across the entire contiguous United States in the number of 80°F days (year-to-date). Remarkable areal extent of summer-like warmth... 🔥
