I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Of course Democrats should talk about climate change. The real question is how. A politician looking for how to talk climate with their constituents should pay attention to what material conditions constrain the flourishing of the community they represent. A climate story is in there.

Of Course Democrats Should Talk About Climate Change
The question is not “if,” but “how.” And it has many answers.

"Imagine every human decision – personal, professional, political – tested against one simple question: “If we were in a capsule looping around the Moon, would this be a safe use of our shared life support?” climate scientist Chris Rapley asks.

Climate science is the anti-myth. Researchers have long noted that the human brain struggles with psychologically distant threats.

The Nazis and Hitler never received as large a share of the popular vote as Trump's fascist regime received: in the last truly free election in 1932, the NSDAP received 33%. 49% voted for fascism in the US in 2024.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

This statement from the NSF is insane. Science is, in essence, designed to separate the true from the false. Understanding how falsehoods spread is key to the scientific endeavor. It is not a violation of free speech to be proven wrong.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

This slope is getting slipperier by the day. If I were one of the 13 million permanent residents in the US I’d probably be self-censoring any unpopular opinions, and that’s a much deeper affront to American values than any opinion I could express.
