edit data

Peter Kalmus is a climate scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory with a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University. At work he studies the physics of clouds in a changing climate, and at home he explores how we can address climate change while living happier, more connected lives. He lives in Altadena, California, a suburb of Los Angeles, with his wife and two children on 1/10th the fossil fuels of the American average. He enjoys orcharding, beekeeping, and backpacking. Peter speaks purely on his own behalf, not on behalf of NASA or Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Quotes by Peter Kalmus (?)

“I see Earth’s biosphere as a fragile and miraculous entity. It’s amazing to me that such a thing came to be: this extraordinarily rich but razor-thin layer of interdependent life surrounding a rock floating in the cold vastness of space. How strange! There’s no guarantee that Earth’s biosphere will remain so richly supportive of human life. The Earth system answers only to the laws of physics, not to the needs of humans.”
― Peter Kalmus, Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution

“The act of flying is an exercise of privilege. Globally, only about 5% of humans have ever flown.”
― Peter Kalmus, Being the Change: Live Well and Spark a Climate Revolution

“Or, you could fully experience the simple miracle of being on this Earth: you could walk.”
