About

If you want company in thinking about this deep & ongoing disruption to life on Earth, rather than banishing it to a small corner of your mind (which I know I certainly do sometimes), then The Climate might speak to you.

This site was launched in November 2022 by me, Andrea Dulberger. I'm a GenX generalist who is trying to see clearly in this noisy world. Writing can help me do that and I intend this free mini-newsletter to be an ongoing way to share a few paragraphs (aiming for 350 to 400 words, once a month) on one topic I'm thinking about and its relationship to climate change. I'll also include a link at the end of each issue to something I read or saw that I find interesting & relevant.

When you subscribe, you'll get full access to the website archive and the ability to comment on posts, as well as email newsletters with new content when it's available. Thank you!

One last thing I'll mention here is that I'm neither a scientist nor a climate activist, though I admire them both greatly. I'm just someone who has regularly thought about this topic for years- an earlier me used poetry as the medium for grappling with it. Below is one I wrote more than 10 years ago that is a letter to climate change itself titled "Dear c.c."

        I think it’s because
        the ones in the future
        can’t come here-
        can’t reach back
        & grab us by the ears &
        pull us into 
        new habits. This lets 
        people feel safe,
        like we don’t
        have to worry
        about being caught,
        we can just
        feel responsible
        for our own days.
