TLDR: Media needs to do more. News outlets should add climate sections along with the rest of their news sections.

I’d like to see more actionable content like how to convince city governments to do stuff. E.g All the stuff a lot of the urbanists talk about are better in almost every way than the car dependency we have in the US. The NIMBYs are relentless in my area. They organized on next door to show up at a zoning meeting in my area to try and prevent a rezone so a developer could build 4 story condos rather than practically useless offices now that most office stuff can be done remotely.

    It is more than just weather, nobody said that anyway. We are on track to make large sections of the earth uninhabitable for humans, crop failures, costal city flooding, and catastrophic weather events. Suffering at a scale we haven’t seen since WW2, possibly worse. If you are under 50, probably in your lifetime, maybe even under 60.

    It sounds like the intent is for media outlets to add a climate page along with the rest of their sections and for A/V media to add a few seconds to their regular content to say: Donate to X climate organization, or adjusting your thermostat saves Y emissions and X% dollars, or visit our climate page, or call your city council, use your imagination.
