I don’t know how I missed this, perhaps it was all the ICCC6 business, travel, and work catch-up.
NYT Dot Earth blogger Andrew Revkin has suffered a stroke. He’s “ok” in the sense that it is not life threatening, but it could have been very serious had he not sought medical attention immediately.
My best wishes to Andy, to his family, and for a speedy recovery. – Anthony Watts

He’s one of the good guys. Hope he gets better quickly.
Yes yes yes we do need Andy in full blogging form!!! Until 2100 at least!!
ps I still vividly remember the disgust I felt when a certain kind of people celebrated Michael Chrichton’s premature departure…
Amen.
It doesn’t matter a jot what a person thinks about things, when something like a stroke hits, you have to feel for them. Mr. Revkin, I don’t agree with most of what you say and write, but I extend my heartfelt sympathies and I hope that you make a speedy recovery.
You have shown how important that “Golden Hour” is to a stroke victim, you could do worse than publicising this fact, using yourself as an example of what modern medical science can do if given the early opportunity.
Just posted a Get Well message on my Facebook for him.
Good luck fella. We may have our littl eintellectual jousts but we’d never want that to go. x
I second your good wishes, Anthony. CVA’s, even small ones, can be life changing. Fingers crossed for Andy.
Get well Andy!
Get better quick Andy and please take care of any underlying problems that may cause a propensity toward this stuff.
Impermanence is a fact of existence of all that is physical. The best we may do is to leave things better than we found them. I hope you have many years of continuing to make things better Andy.
Good luck, Mr. Revkin!
One is tempted … but I won’t. Treat people as you would wish to be treated. Recover well, Andy.
Don’t know full details but hopefully it is a Transient Ischemic Attack
(TIA, Mini-Stroke) and he should make a full recovery if it is.
Wishing him a speedy recovery
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
I am sorry to hear this. My prayers and best wishes with him also.
[snip – a bit too “hostile” for my taste – Anthony]
who’ll be the first one blaming AGW for an increase in the number of stroke victims? Romm, I presume …
Double dittos to all of the above; get well soon Andy!
.
Best wishes Andy and I pray you have a full and complete recovery.
My hopes and best wishes for a quick and full recovery also.
Wow. 🙁 Get well soon!
Get well soon Andy.
Relax, take your meds, get better soon.
Best wishes to Andy from Germany! Hoping for a full recovery! I think he’s wrong about AGW and i wouldn’t work for that rag but to each his own.
Best wishes Andrew. And thanks Anthony for flagging this distressing news, and giving us a chance to post our thoughts. To fellow commenters: thanks for the generous spirit. Character tells.
