As cities prepare for 2026’s super El Niño, some crucial blind spots can’t be ignored
Aging levees and dams are only the beginning of the risks communities face. One of the biggest challenges is helping people manage the heat and storms.

2026’s El Niño is shaping up to be a doozy – it’s already affecting global shipping, fish behavior and heat
El Niño can affect agriculture, marine life and economies in profound ways, including slowing commerce at the Panama Canal. This El Niño is likely to be the strongest in over a century.

I think it’s important for the media to distinguish carbon capture from carbon removal.

I checked a 2019 manuscript draft (not yet published), and the AI‑writing tool flagged about 25% as “AI‑generated.” I’m genuinely curious how it’s detecting AI in something I wrote before half these models even existed. It even flagged my citations and bibliography as plagiarized. #Academic
