John, there is almost no job more important than being a journalist reporting on the climate crisis. Thank you (and your colleagues) for your work. Genuine question: while that statement is true... do you think the NYT is doing enough to cover the climate crisis?
I wonder if being on the climate desk is a bit like being on the sustainability team of a large corporation. You’re working your ass off, doing good work, yet the constraints of the org’s larger priorities limit what you can do.

Meanwhile you’re getting criticisms left and right about NYT coverage of the climate crisis while you’re pouring your soul into this work. If was in your shoes I know my first reaction would be to want to defend what the NYT is already doing.

Could there be space to consider that — as hard as all of us are working on climate — no one is yet rising far enough to the challenge? To have room to reimagine? To try different approaches? Experiments? I want you and the NYT to succeed.

I would disagree with that analogy. This is a journalism organization, and we are doing journalism. It is central to the mission of the NYT, which has dedicated millions of dollars to the effort in a time that allocation of such resources is not taken lightly.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
