This marks the addition of a new audio feature on the Civil Notion site, which I’m calling A Piece of My Mind.
In this first episode, I examine the alchemistic role of the climate youth movement in turning base political words into precious political will.
A year ago, there was no debate in Congress about climate change. Now conservative Republicans are being forced into a dialogue they had hoped to avoid about a problem they’ve been unwilling to admit even exists. The Democrats, for their part, have embraced climate change as a central theme of their 2020 political campaign. What’s changed is the entrance of the youth climate movement onto the scene.
