This week, much to my surprise, I’m not coming to you with new music or a book or anything of the kind. I’m coming to you with real news! Last week, the FDA approved a cultured meat product in the United States. It was on my mind this week as I (and much of America) cooked up …
For those who don’t know, for the past several months, I have been working on a political campaign. In other words, my life was not my own, the hours were crazy, and I simply could not keep up with Climate Culture. I’m happy to get back to you now with the biggest drops since we …
Sometimes (rarely, but sometimes) Twitter makes my day. After a long day the other night, I was doing some doomscrolling, and in between the horrors of Hurricane Ian, I came across a “Chevron” ad. Why the quotes? Well, it was posted by Adam McKay, director of Don’t Look Up, the most famous climate satire of all time …
The biggest climate culture news this week was from my least written about sector of culture… fashion. Now, those of you who know me probably know the reason for this. Fashion isn’t really my thing haha. However, from a young age, I was taught to appreciate just one “fashion house” — Patagucci. While often out of …
Life’s been busy — apologies for the hiatus! I know you must have all been lost without my weekly recommendations (I kid, I kid). The break did give me time, however, to finish a new show. It’s even explicitly about climate and has the Leah Stokes (nationally renowned energy policy expert) seal of approval. Perhaps most …
Who doesn’t know Bill Nye? He’s one of the most iconic scientific communicators of all time — right alongside David Attenborough. As a scientist (and a human), Bill Nye is naturally concerned about the climate crisis. So, he’s coming back to TV. With a show about climate disasters! I worry it will be a little …
Hi, all. This newsletter often feels like a good place for a rant, normally about how corporations and/or politicians are not only failing to adequately address the climate crisis, but actually making it extremely difficult to take action while continuing to exacerbate the crisis without a thought for the world. Most often I have the …
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itKtosLoGk4 Something I’ve been thinking a lot about is how the urgency of climate change makes it feel impossible to take a break. There is always an oil company trying to evade accountability, a bill that is about to get passed, people who need help getting organized. In some ways, the urgency is real. The …
Hi, all. If you haven’t yet heard, the Inflation Reduction Act has passed the House of Representatives and is on its way to President Biden’s desk. We’ve covered it before, but I’ll say it again: It’s a big step forward in the sense that it’s the largest climate package passed ever, but it comes …
Hi, all. The biggest piece of news really dominating the climate world these days is that we are one step closer to passing the biggest piece of climate legislation in US history–also known as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)–as the senate passed the bill 51-50 (all D’s in favor + VP Harris, all R’s against). Barring …
We’re getting a climate bill–but there’s still lots to be done Read More »
