In Memoriam: Mark Samuel Gold

In this intimate special episode of Climate Swings, I step away from my planned six-month anniversary celebration to share a deeply personal story—the recent passing of my father, Mark Gold. Join me as I reflect on his remarkable life, his difficult final years battling health challenges, and how his adventurous spirit shaped my own journey. I explore the parallels between the human dimensions of climate work and navigating personal loss, reminding us why sharing authentic stories matters. This episode bridges the gap between the professional narratives I typically feature and the personal experiences that drive our passion for this work—and for life itself.
