Andrew Freedman - becoming a dad brought an urgency to his reporting on climate change. |
Suddenly, projections of temperature changes in 2050 were
more real. Where I used to be able to dismiss them as time periods when I
wouldn't be around anymore, or be old enough not to care so much, now, those
years were a pertinent reality.
Now, there's this adorable creature, full of hope, joy, and
temper tantrums, who has no idea how screwed up his future might be due to
decisions we're making today.
Since then, I've doubled down on the beat, with grit and determination.
But then came November. The election of Donald J. Trump sent me into a
temporary tailspin.
What does this mean for my son's future, and what does this
mean for my profession right now?
In short: Nothing good.
