Discussion of the climate crisis is always suffered from a problem of extraction, data points, and warnings of an overheated future struggle to break through the noise of everyday life. Deniers often portray climate solutions as inconvenient, expensive, and unnecessary. Many politicians cloistered by status and focused always on their next election do not yet see climate as a winning issue in the short run, so they don’t take any action at all. Jonathan Vigliotti's book explores this, “Before It’s Gone: Stories from the Frontlines of Climate Change and Small-Town America.”
