FOLKS - when we stop burning fossil fuels, oversizing agriculture and killing nature, the warming of Earth also stops worsening No floppy optimism here; no hollow appeal to hope. The laws of physics that created this problem also govern the fact we can choose to stop it.

You definitely need to read the whole thing

Then, you also end up with fewer and fewer stories that are stemming from a reporter's own curiosity or something the public needs to know, but instead from what philanthropists want people to know or do. Even if I, as an individual, agree with what said philanthropists think, as a journalist who believes in the value independent journalism can bring to the public and to democracy as a whole, I don't think letting any outside entity dictate what sorts of climate stories do or don't get told is a good path, particularly when said entity is being run by a class of people who have very little interest in fundamentally changing anything but our energy source. The net result is not just a lack of investigative climate reporters at major outlets, but also the rapid erosion of the sort of institutional knowledge that would even enable such a thing to exist at those outlets. Now many of them are getting rid of their climate teams altogether and philanthropists are scratching their heads wondering where these stories they've paid to produce can even be published, without once realizing that they have directly contributed to the demise of the very thing they saw as valuable to begin with.
