It’s Hug a Climate Scientist Day!

Emissions are still rising, and climate scientists still need hugging. That’s the bad news. The good news is, thanks to breakthroughs in biotechnology, actual hugs are making a comeback. So, we’d like to extend a major squeeze of gratitude to COVID scientists as well. Oh, and while we’re at it, thanks very much to all of the ecologists, biologists, environmental chemists, and atmospheric, geo, and social scientists toiling away every day on behalf of people, wildlife, and the planet. Hugs all around, you dedicated science brainiacs—where would the world be without you! And for anyone else in need: ((())). Plus a booster: ((())).

One more thing, speaking of dedicated people working to save the planet and all of its inhabitants, we’d like to share a beautiful and important short film (2:20 minutes) from the conservation NGO Big Life Foundation. Talk about hug magnets!
