As global warming cooks the earth, it melts our brains, exploding the stories we like to tell ourselves—even the apocalyptic ones. I wrote about end-times parable, doomscrolling and the kind of climate denial practiced even by those who accept the science

From “Don’t Look Up” to Greta Thunberg videos to doomsaying memes, we are awash in warnings that we are almost out of time. But the climate crisis is outpacing our emotional capacity to describe it.

Phasing out oil & gas is a long-overdue step toward addressing decades of harmful, racist land use policies that have led to BIPOC communities bearing the brunt of toxic oil well pollution. We're ready to see these changes made statewide!
