Right before Xmas The New Yorker magazine editor David Remnick called to ask if I'd do a weekly climate newsletter under the magazine's auspices. My 1st reaction was yes: it was where I'd begun writing about all this in my early 20s and now I was...older if not wiser
But my 2nd reaction was, what about this newsletter HEATED that
What I'm going to try and do in The Climate Crisis (titled with a nod to the storied newspaper that W.E.B. DuBois began 110 years ago for the NAACP) is provide some ongoing context to the climate story--I have, perhaps, some idea of how new developments fit into the big picture
- So each week a short essay, and some links to things that seem important. But I also want to highlight the powerfully diverse voices that are emerging with each passing week from all over the globe. So there will be a regular short interview: "Pass the Mic."

- If you read my twitter feed occasionally, you'll know it's largely devoted to saying thanks to people for the good work they're doing, and trying to surface that work so others can see. So I'll be attempting to do that in a slightly more formal way in this newsletter.

It's been a while--really, since I left the New Yorker at age 26, which would have been, um, 1986--that I've had a regular weekly opportunity like this. So I hope I'm still capable of it.
