Today we honor a brilliant scientist & my dear friend, Mario Molina. Mario was a tireless advocate for controls on #CFCs that destroy the ozone layer. He also took on the #climatecrisis by helping strengthen the #MontrealProtocol to explicitly focus on climate protection.

To his last day, Mario Molina worked to mitigate the existential threat of #climatechange. In his last Op-Ed, he laid out the 10yr sprint to promote fast climate action. This may be our only way to keep the planet relatively safe along the way to net zero.

Mario left us suddenly with unfinished work. But he laid down the tracks that showed us how we might still slow warming quickly enough to avoid existential chaos. It’s up to all those he inspired to carry on his work. And damn sure we will, but it’s not as fun without our friend.
