I was born the year of the first #EarthDay. Have witnessed the #climatecrisis unfold over the decades since. A new generation of activists, the offspring of earlier generations of activists, may be our last, best hope. Will we listen to them? Will we act? My essay in TIME mag. tinyurl.com/28vpbebh

A New Generation of Climate Leaders Is Our Last Hope
Young climate activists “have a life-and-death stake in the climate system they will be inhabiting,” writes Meera Subramanian.

Solar & wind energy are expanding exponentially around the globe. There is resistance, esp in the US,. But what if clean energy projects helped communities more than they hurt them? I found a town in Spain that hinted at an answer. My latest, in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/science/2026...
