So sorry to hear that. He had more influence on my thinking than any other scholar and suppored my career early on.

Not something to be happy about. Especially if you live in Santa Barbara County. Blatant disregard for regulations, and the wellbeing of human and nonhuman life.

I'm so sorry. Your life and work have great meaning for many people and that won't change. You've spent your time wisely, creatively, and profitably, just keep doing that in whatever way sustains you.

Yes, this exactly. "The failure to protect vulnerable communities and recognise the unfairness of their predicament may push them into the arms of nativist parties and other political forces that often seek to block climate action. A derailment risk."
