A warm welcome to @columbiaclimate students during the first week of classes. It was a pleasure to meet with some of them during orientation. Looking forward to many more opportunities to get to know this brilliant cohort this year!

Record-breaking heatwaves and devastating wildfires across Europe serve as yet another call for urgent action in addressing the climate crisis. @columbiaclimate colleague @KKornhuber calls Europe a "heatwave hotspot"; I'm feeling the impacts in the U.K. reuters.com/article/us-europ…

A big congratulations to a brilliant colleague @steingart!
So I was promoted to full professor as of 7/1. I want to thank everyone in my group for your efforts in helping me shape and realize everything we’ve done in the last 12 ish years. You cast your opportunity with me and it means the world to me. I hope I’ve done as well by you.

President @BarackObama shouts out co-host @columbiaclimate for our work advancing this important field of study and action at a student roundtable at #COP26. (As a member of the class of ’83, he jokes he may be biased.) Watch: bit.ly/3mS472S @ObamaFoundation
