The Great Molini

Look at these big juicy oranges growing in my uncle Brian’s backyard. We just got here yesterday. Stay tuned for more Florida shots from the next week of glorious vacation!

I love that square of light with the trees in it superimposed over me. It looks like multiple exposures, but it ain’t! It’s genius! (Or a complete accident, whichever way you want to look at it. I like to think genius.)

The building in the background of this one is the Watergate hotel. (The one Nixon made famous.)

I don’t think Jono stopped for one red light or stop sign as we wizzed through the rainy DC streets from Georgetown to Capitol Hill. This one captures a bit of how I was feeling with his driving — he was wearing a helmet and I wasn’t!

Turn Down the Heat 1.5.aif

In the place where science and society meet,
how can we turn down the heat?

Fossil fuels, like oil and coal,
help keep our economy running,
but they release greenhouse gases
that trap the Sun’s heat,
speeding up global warming.

And global warming seems likely
to lead to some very negative things:
more powerful storms, melting at the poles,
and the extinction of some species.

So, what should society do
for the economy and the planet, too?
In the place where science and society meet,
how can we turn down the heat?

A number of states have pledged at times
to reduce their carbon emissions,
but now California has taken the lead
by setting legal requirements and limits.

Because the law creates more demand
for green alternative energy,
the economy is likely to profit
from developing cleaner technologies.

So, what should society do
for the economy and the planet, too?
In the place where science and society meet,
how can we turn down the heat?
How can we turn down the heat?
