"Doomist framing can be disabling, and it is all too common these days in popular climate change-themed narratives." Quote @MichaelEMann

"A dystopian future is possible if we fail to act. But a utopian future is not out of reach if we succeed in doing so." Quote: @MichaelEMann

“A dystopian future is possible if we fail to act. But a utopian future is not out of reach if we succeed in doing so.” @MichaelEMann reviews Kim Stanley Robinson's "The Ministry for the Future" about a fictional climate dystopia that's already here!

Feeling mostly despair these days about a writing project that isn't shaping up as I hoped, it's a nice Sunday surprise to see "Re-Engineering Humanity," the book I wrote with @BrettFrischmann, to be on the Observer list of 30 books to understand 2020.

Very grateful to @anneapplebaum for including The People vs Democracy in her list of books to read to understand 2020. (The only conspicuous omission from her list is her own book: The Twilight of Democracy, which helped me understand what comes next.)
