There was a very long piece about the status of our rivers and lakes and underground water in the Midwest as in Kansas and Nebraska where the underground water is drying up. When the water is gone, it will not matter who is president. You finally mentioned climate change, but nobody else is. Media does not nor either candidate in the presidential election. The only one who did, as he was going out the door, was Obama! By the way, I will be 90 this month and glad of it.
In Zorba the greek, Alexis Zorba says to the young man in the story a man needs a little madness or else he'll never cut the rope and be truly free. In my not so humble opinion everything we can imagine is going to play out but not in the timing I imagine nor to the extent I think it will
For the first time since I was not quite yet a teenager, I wish I was older like you.
I think Harris purposely avoided talking climate change because from a main stream political perspective, tRump would have simply used it against her campaign and she didn't want to go down that rabbit hole.
There are folks on Medium and other independent platforms who discuss it quite regularly. But you're right, in the main stream media and political discourse, no one is talking about it.
We are doomed and I'll be here to witness the fall, I think.
Over twenty years ago I had a blog called Burner Trouble that chronicled climate changes and our reactions to it. No one read it but there was plenty to write about. Now, years later, the media and politicians are still pretending it is not a major issue. Fiddling while Rome burns…
I still read Medium.

Thanks, Martin. I agree: your column will serve as a chronicle of the decline.
