I am a New York-based journalist who has written seventy articles about the environment and climate change.  I am also the author of No Rain in the Amazon: How South America's Climate Change Affects the Entire Planet.

 

In addition to earning a doctorate in Latin American history from Oxford University, I am the author of two books on the wider region, Hugo Chávez: Oil, Politics and the Challenge to the U.S., and Revolution! South America and the Rise of the New Left.  I have spoken about many of these wide-ranging topics on the likes of CNN, the BBC and National Public Radio, to name just a few.

 

I have been to Ukraine four times and written more than 80 articles about the country, as well as East-West relations more generally.

I can't in good conscience continue on Twitter, though feel free to follow me on Bluesky here.
