we have built an economy that rewards speed over thought, efficiency over craft, and capital accumulation over human flourishing. If we want to confront the devaluation of jobs and professional expertise; or the enormous environmental costs of AI and its data centers,..

I'm teaching my sociology of climate change class in the fall. There's always quite a bit of interest from journalism & comms students. So I am going to put in the curriculum some examples of powerful reporting on the climate crisis. This is a running 🧵 of such articles. Feel free to add to it.

Oil Companies Contaminated a Family Farm. The Courts and Regulators Let the Drillers Walk Away.
The oil and gas industry has reaped profits without ensuring there will be money to plug and clean up their wells. In Oklahoma, that work could cost more than $7 billion if it falls to the state.
