An Annotated Collection of Recent Communications Regarding Responding to Expanding Climate Risks

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Gary Yohe

This volume is the second annotated collection of essays for the popular press with which I have been involved since 2019; the first was published in March of 2023. Each is annotated with a Prologue (Why?) and an Afterword (What has happened since?). Each was motivated by a climate-related issue that was in the public eye for more than the usual 24 hours. Each discusses the relevance of robust and evolving science to public discourse about climate change. They confront issues involved in building public support for informed decisions about how to allocate scarce funds to personal and social investments to abate, adapt, or suffer in coping with climate risks. The essays sometimes address distractions and deflections that are persistently advanced by organized programs of denial, misinformation, and disinformation as well as the occasional personal attack.
