HEATED - A high-stakes climate debate
Tonight’s debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has massive ecological and existential stakes. A whopping 30 percent of Americans say tonight’s televised showdown will help them determine who to vote for in November. And their choice will help determine whether 4 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions get released into the atmosphere over the next six years—an amount equating to $900 billion in global climate damages. That’s why, despite some pretty severe jet lag, I’ll be watching—and reacting/chatting live with subscribers starting at 8:45 p.m. Eastern time. If you’ll also be watching, and if you’d like a place to hang out that’s full of people who care about the climate crisis, please join me! We’ve done similar threads during previous debates and they’ve been pretty well-attended. The only difference this time is that we’ll be using Substack’s new-ish chat function instead of the usual comment thread function. I’m hoping this will be a bit more user-friendly. We’ll see! If you’re not planning on watching the debate tonight, don’t fret. Arielle and I will send out a climate-focused re-cap and analysis for you as quickly as we can.
