It is not your fault that the planet is burning. Your air conditioner, your hamburger, your gas-powered car—these aren’t the reasons we only have about a decade to prevent irreversible climate catastrophe. No; the majority of the blame for the climate emergency lies at the foot of the greedy; the cowardly; the power-hungry; the apathetic. And that’s why I created this newsletter + podcast: to expose and explain the forces behind past and present inaction on the most existential threat of our time. If you sign up, you’ll get original reporting and analysis on the climate crisis at the top of your inbox every week. News on this emergency deserves to be at the top of your inbox. It should arm you with the knowledge you need to effectively fight this crisis. We should also probably have a little fun while we’re fighting. So there will be some fun things, too. Maybe drag queens? IDK. TBD. “This is an important newsletter about climate change and the supervillains that deny and promote it.” Phil Plait, Bad Astronomy Newsletter “Emily comes from a traditional journalism background and offers an uncompromising perspective on anthropogenic global warming. ” Marilia Coutinho, Dissimilis animus “When I want to understand a climate policy issue, I cross my fingers and hope that Emily Atkin has written about it!” Lynn Yellen, Work from home for justice
