Climate Conversation: Predictions from the 1990s are coming true
Watching the vice-grip of climate change take hold, I’m beginning to understand how our grandparents must have felt in the 1930s as something equally horrible, fascism, took hold in Europe and Asia, and the world slowly marched to a war that would kill 38 million people.
I have kids and grandkids, and I’m increasingly afraid for their future.
I’ve been following climate issues since the mid-1990s when, as a freelance writer, I took a contract to research and write about what scientists were saying was on the horizon in Montana. One thing that jumped out was that Montana would lose its cold-water fishery. I thought, nah, that isn’t going to happen.
