I report on climate change and federal energy and public lands policy, including endangered species, land use and energy development—both fossil fuels and renewables for Bloomberg Environment. I track the implementation of the Paris climate agreement, advancements in renewable energy policy and technology, climate science, oil and gas leasing on U.S. federal lands, implementation of the Endangered Species Act and developments at the intersection of energy and climate change. I covered the 2018 UN climate talks—COP24—in Poland, and this week, I’ll be traveling to Spain to cover the second week of COP25 in Madrid. Before starting at Bloomberg Environment, I covered energy and climate at Climate Central in New York City for four years, and spent more than a decade reporting on natural resources and federal lands at local newspapers in Colorado and New Mexico. This week, I wrap up a three-year stint as president of the Society of Environmental Journalists.

What would you like to know? How important are this year’s UN climate talks given that it’s in 2020 when countries are required to come back to the table with new commitments to cut carbon? What’s up with the U.S. pulling out of Paris? Can the U.S. return to Paris if Trump loses in 2020? And even if countries do make big carbon cuts, is it really going to put the brakes on climate change?
