If you would like to send me an invitation, a time-sensitive comment, or a request, please do so here. This form goes to our shared mailbox, where I review all the emails once every two weeks. Invites and requests for my time go to Laura, who is able to respond much more quickly to email than I can. We do have a problem with our responses sometimes being caught by spam filters; so if you don’t hear back from us within three weeks, please check your junk folder: it may be there. If it isn’t, just email us again and let us know.
If you have a specific question, please see the many I’ve already answered our FAQ page, our Global Weirding episodes, and Quora before you use this contact form to send an email. About 25% of the emails we receive are questions that are already answered by an FAQ, so please take the time to give the list a quick look before you press send, especially if you are a student asking for an interview or someone who has a question (or something to tell me) about climate science.
If you want me to endorse, sign, or review a book, a letter, a petition, a study, a fundraising campaign, or a similar product, I’m sorry I am typically unable to do so. If you are contacting me about a climate solution that is not directly related to my professional expertise, chances are I won’t be able to assist you with it myself; but my FAQs do have some suggestions that may help. Please read my review policy before you use this contact form to send an email.
If your comment relates to LinkedIn, Threads, BlueSky, or another social media platform, please tag me in a post or comment there. You do not have to follow me to be able to do that. I’m only able to take social media-related requests on the platform itself: not here.
If you’re wondering where I’ll be speaking next, most of my events are online, which means you can attend from anywhere in the world! I currently post these at the end of my newsletter, Talking Climate. In Fall 2024 I’ll be in Mexico City, MX and Shepherdstown WV & Carlisle, PA. In Spring 2025 I’ll be in Merida, MX in January; Washington DC and the surrounding area in April; and various locations around Texas, as well as online. In June, I’m currently planning to be in Calgary, AB then head to London Climate Week.
Many of my public talks have been recorded; I have over a hundred lectures and webinars archived here and our Global Weirding series has over 30 episodes that are available to be viewed and streamed, no permission needed.
If you aren’t in any of these locations, I’m always open to suggestions. Because my air travel is the largest part of my carbon footprint, though, I usually schedule multiple events in the same location – anywhere from five or six to more than two dozen in a week. This takes a lot of coordination, so we generally collect invitations and book in-person events 12-18 months in advance. If you are requesting an in-person event less than 12 months ahead of time, I will probably not be able to accept unless I am already planning to be in that location; but I’m happy to recommend someone to you.
I prefer giving carbon-neutral video presentations, which don’t require so much planning; and so many have taken me up on this offer that I typically give more than 100 virtual presentations each year. My Fall 2024 calendar is already full to both speaking invitations and podcasts; but I still have a few slots left for Spring 2024. I encourage you to use one of my many talks archived here; no permission needed.
One last time: if you are a student who wants to interview me or work with me, or if you are someone who has a question about climate science or a climate solution you want me to help you with, including serving in an advisory capacity for your project, please check to make sure your question or request is not already answered by an FAQ before sending your message. I still have to respond to about a quarter of the emails we receive with a link to the FAQ the sender missed. With your help, my goal is to get that down to zero.
Thank you!
