There’s no area of life and politics where “The Middle” is more damaging than in the Climate Crisis. It keeps people staying out of the topic and simply ignoring it, since , in the judgement of “The Middle”, it is “unsettled”. It caused a good friend of mine of 30 years to eventually cut off ties with me (which really raises the question of how good a “friend” that person really was). Since then, the time spent away from constantly defending the severity of the situation in Climate Change has been fruitful.
