The English language was once full of stories with “blossoms,” “rivers,” and “moss.” But these words are disappearing from our vocabularies — and along with them, our connection to the natural world they describe. @katemyoder reports via @grist: buff.ly/7CyOPJy

President Biden's American Climate Corps was quietly disbanded -- and in some ways, the jobs program never existed to begin with, @katemyoder reports: grist.org/politics/american-…

The American Climate Corps is over. What even was it?

Biden's green jobs program was never what it seemed. Now it's shutting down before Trump takes office.

“I actually think it’s still a great time to start a climate startup. Just don’t call it a climate startup," @leepnet tells @katie_brigham. Climate tech is dead, long live climate tech: heatmap.news/technology/deat…

The Death of ‘Climate Tech’

It’s time for another rebrand.

in recent years, i noticed that the concept of "climate anxiety" had become a sort of a privilege punch line, and an emotion/experience shared by millions risked going the way of self-care and wellness culture. i wanted to explore why for @grist: grist.org/culture/climate-ch…

Is climate anxiety a pressing problem, or a luxury?

Concerns about our future are valid — but they aren't always shared by those who are fighting to survive in the present.

an instant @katemyoder classic, if you will -- a comprehensive and beautifully laid out exploration of why nuance is so hard to accept or understand in any politically-tinged conversation: grist.org/science/patrick-br…

A climate scientist criticized his own study. Is he a hero or a villain?

Patrick Brown is trying to tell a complicated story about climate change. Many don't want to hear it.

A year ago, climate scientist @PatrickTBrown31 criticized his own wildfire study in Nature, causing an uproar. I kept wondering why he did it. I spent the summer talking to Patrick and those who know him, reviewing private emails, to get the inside scoop grist.org/science/patrick-br…

Why has the history of climate change knowledge in the US (which goes back further than many today might think) been overlooked? @katemyoder for @grist: bit.ly/3LWKrGI

The lost history of what Americans knew about climate change in the 1960s

It wasn't just scientists who were worried, but Congress, the White House, and even Sports Illustrated, newly unearthed documents show.

Author Barbara Kingsolver told @Grist that the American Climate Corps is “one of the most exciting things that’s happening in the country right now.” More on the kickoff of the American Climate Corps from @katemyoder: grist.org/solutions/american…

The American Climate Corps officially kicks off

This month, 9,000 people will be deployed to restore landscapes and erect solar panels, helping guide the country toward a greener future.
