My climate writing goal for 2025

In my last post, I mentioned that I wanted to write about climate change—something I’ve been meaning to do for over a year.

Why climate change?

For starters, I think it’s the defining issue of our time. Reasonable people can disagree, but I’ll make my case in a future post.

Another reason I want to write about climate is because I’m disappointed by the vast majority of climate argumentation that I come across. I think I can do better.

Lastly, I think I can offer something useful to at least a few of the friends and family who read this blog. Most people believe in human-driven climate change and want to be part of the solution; they just don’t know how, or worse, they feel powerless. We’re not powerless, and there are concrete things we all can do—in addition to much-needed systemic change—to help steer the world toward better climate outcomes. I think the best chance we have at normalizing voluntary, climate-friendly choices is through the influence of friends and family rather than the authority of distant experts.

So that’s my “why.” I hope to expand upon it in a future post, sharing my thoughts and feelings about the challenge before us. But I want to spend most of my time exploring climate solutions through a personal and practical lens. If this effort inspires even a single real-world conversation or a-ha moment along the way, it’ll be worth it.

If you have questions you’d like to see me address in this series (or just want to talk about privately), please reach out! I’d love to hear from you.
