For any unfamiliar with the quality of journalism at Teen Vogue, it's well known for hard-hitting stories on "politically sensitive" topics including climate.
Then there's CBS: the only major network to increase climate coverage in the last few years. They just axed nearly their whole climate team.

Doing some reading of 'We Talk, You Listen' (1970, Vine Deloria Jr.) and a lovely, striking thing is how clear and simple it is, in contrast to a lot of modern cultural criticism that is so filled with jargony academic terms you can't grasp the author's point
