Ed Russo — the ruling to add him, and the Miami summit link, verbatim

The account as dictated, preserved verbatim. Everything elsewhere on this site that derives from it is a distillation — and where the two differ, this governs.

Recorded 2026-08-31Hare's message in the integrator thread, 31 August 2026, transcribed verbatim (the second paragraph quotes the integrator's own summary back). Recorded grade.All sources
Provenance

Dictated by Jonathan Paul Hare in working sessions with Claude (Anthropic) and transcribed in-session. Lightly cleaned for typographic errors and false starts; wording, sequence and emphasis preserved. Not an audio transcript. Where the distilled page differs from the source, the source governs.

Primary source

As dictated

Yes - add a node for Ed Russo, and do some more research on him, and also the 2025 Nobel Sustainability Trust summit in Miami, where he accepted some sort of recognition on behalf of Donald Trump. Ed is somebody the Consilient Nature & Humanity Trust can work with - he would love it.

What was changed, and why

Corrections applied downstream are recorded here rather than made silently. The source above is unaltered.

Editorial record

Executed in v72i. ed-russo created after slug-check: Hare's account first (S-141: at his table at the Nobel Sustainability Trust summit; 'a legit environmentalist' who 'wrote some books saying that Trump is an environmental hero, because that's how you get close to Trump'; S-186: the Consilient Nature and Humanity Trust can work with him — 'he would love it'), the public record after it. Documented from the Trust's own pages, fetched 31 Aug 2026: the 2024 summit was in San Francisco 'together with UC Berkeley' in November 2024 (which is Hare's 'UC Berkeley's giant hall'); the 2025 summit was on 5 December 2025 at the St. Regis Bal Harbour, Miami, where Russo, 'recipient of the Special Recognition in Biodiversity Medal', gave a keynote 'on behalf of the President of the United States' and received an official NST recognition; the next summit is planned for Doha. This settles the Miami/Berkeley ambiguity of S-141: two summits, a year apart — the 'Nobel Sustainability Award' Hare mentioned in S-141 (Dec 16, 2025, eleven days after Miami) is the Trust's Special Recognition in Biodiversity Medal; his wording stands, the Trust's governs on display. Web grade (WLRN, 7 Feb 2025; publishers' listings): the 1979 Morris County landfill fire and HALT; Chester Township council president; environmental consultant to Trump and the Trump Organization for over two decades; the 2016 self-published Donald J. Trump: An Environmental Hero; chair of a federal environmental advisory task force in 2025 ('MAGA is Make America Green Again'); co-founder and CEO of RussKap Water; Key West — president of the Florida Keys Environmental Coalition, Reef Relief board, Monroe County Climate Change Advisory Committee. Candid remarks about him publish under the pre-emptive record doctrine (S-134); his strike is available, and so is Russo's own account.
