Two weeks after the election, a gathering in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, commemorated Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 address. The Lincoln scholar who recited the 16th president's words said the speech felt “not like a relic from the past, but a prayer for the future.”

When talking about climate change I’ve started to incorporate a quick physical explanation on the basics before getting into it, like “CO2, a molecule that absorbs heat like a black t-shirt,…” or “carbon dioxide, which is opaque to infrared light,…”
