** Keep Talking About It
------------------------------------------------------------
February 2, 2026
All you babies talk about is that blizzard, a nurse said to me recently. She was commenting on my birthday: the exact same date her sister was born, and the day of a legendary blizzard.
Weather history repeated itself over the weekend when I, and likely that nurse’s sister, spent days trapped inside as a snowstorm raged. Much of the nation experienced heavy snowfall, record-low temperatures, canceled school, and lost power or water.
But what we’renot really talking about is climate change, which makes storms like last week’s more severe and unpredictable, and temperatures more extreme and dangerous.
In this installment of Justice This Week, we’re talking about it, from new changes at the EPA that run counter to the organization’s mission and put lives at risk, to the people in Minneapolis striking despite freezing temperatures.
As federal responses to emergencies continue to weaken, including a diminished FEMA, we’re more on our own than ever. Keeping the climate crisis in the conversation is an essential part of finding solutions to it.
