Andrew Revkin, longtime environmental journalist and former New York Times reporter, reflects on how decades of covering climate have reshaped his understanding of the role of journalism in creating positive change. He emphasizes that complex, interconnected challenges like climate change cannot be reduced to simple narratives or singular solutions. Instead, he advocates for a shift toward ongoing inquiry, community dialogue, and shared learning. With a surprise ending to this episode exploring the solutionary potential for journalism, Andy provides a hopeful (and comic!) vision of the future.
