Most people out there are just trying to keep their job and provide for their family. If climate change is now a once-in-a-mortgage problem, and if food prices start to spike, people will pay attention.

We need to start prioritizing people, not polar bears. We're probably less adaptable than them, anyway. The farther you are from the Beltway, the more you can have a conversation about climate no matter how people vote. I never try to politicize the issue.

I like to think of climate action as a three-legged stool.

Climate change isn't just an environmental issue; it's a technology, water, food, energy, population issue. None of this happens in a vacuum.

If you start getting instability in large powers with nuclear weapons, that's not a good day.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of people in high places who understand the science but don't like where the policy leads them: too much government control.

People working on climate change should prepare for catastrophic success.
