We’ve made them because we recognize—as you might too—that climate change is the backdrop of our lives and one of the moral crises of the century, a globe-spanning force reshaping how we work, how we play, how we shop, and how we vote. We hope to be your guide to living through climate change, a source of expert information and thoughtful analysis that’s less angel-on-your-shoulder and more friend-at-your-side.</p><p id="injected-recirculation-link-0" class="ArticleRelatedContentLink_root__VYc9V" data-view-action="view link - injected link - item 1" data-event-element="injected link" data-event-position="1"><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/sign-up/weekly-planet/">Sign up for The Weekly Planet</a></p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">Here’s what you can expect from Planet in the days and months to come:</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">First: We will cover climate change in the present tense—not as a distant threat, but as a force that is already reconfiguring business, culture, society, and life on Earth. This outlook doesn’t reflect our prediction about where the world is heading; we think a detached assessment of the facts allows for no other conclusion.</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">Second: We will recognize that the economy is made of real stuff—purring servers, fields of alfalfa, wind-spun turbines, muscle and bone. So we’ll also recognize that solving climate change and zeroing out carbon pollution requires getting elbow-deep in reality. A gallon of gasoline isn’t a price by the side of the road; it’s a physical reserve of fossilized sunlight, the refined residue of what was once 25 metric tons of ancient sea life. To leave fossil fuels behind, we must find a new source of energy to replace that prehistoric sun.</p><div class="ArticleInlineFigure_root__hYQJP ArticleInlineFigure_alignWell__tK_8_" data-flatplan-inline_image="true"><figure class="ArticleInlineFigure_figure__qmYhH" style="--imageWidth:655px;max-width:655px"><picture class="ArticleInlineImagePicture_picture__SVXJ7" style="padding-bottom:132.98%"><img alt="" loading="lazy" class="Image_root__XxsOp Image_lazy__hYWHV ArticleInlineImagePicture_image__I79fR" sizes="(min-width: 729px) 655px, (min-width: 576px) calc(100vw - 48px), 100vw" srcSet="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/eO2i40MWCl_MA7lHpzqzEafuKKg=/0x0:1754x2333/655x871/media/img/posts/2020/10/THE_ATLANTIC_CC_HIRES_02/original.jpg 655w, https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/lqZXnAactadBGpV9nOFsvLv_oFE=/0x0:1754x2333/750x997/media/img/posts/2020/10/THE_ATLANTIC_CC_HIRES_02/original.jpg 750w, https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/oxRJLCvwYZ_k4rhU9IkAejGUsxM=/0x0:1754x2333/850x1130/media/img/posts/2020/10/THE_ATLANTIC_CC_HIRES_02/original.jpg 850w, https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/UzJSFrjey3got6f2KR4UyatdHss=/0x0:1754x2333/928x1234/media/img/posts/2020/10/THE_ATLANTIC_CC_HIRES_02/original.jpg 928w, https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/JWXSljFXjaJSFa9wwbPa4PBk2gU=/0x0:1754x2333/1310x1742/media/img/posts/2020/10/THE_ATLANTIC_CC_HIRES_02/original.jpg 1310w" src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/eO2i40MWCl_MA7lHpzqzEafuKKg=/0x0:1754x2333/655x871/media/img/posts/2020/10/THE_ATLANTIC_CC_HIRES_02/original.jpg" width="655" height="871"/></picture><figcaption class="ArticleInlineFigure_figcaption__kxSCW ArticleInlineFigure_credit__Y8jgs ArticleInlineFigure_alignWell__tK_8_">photo-illustration by nico krijno</figcaption></figure></div><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">Finally: We will understand that climate change is too serious to be taken seriously all the time. When Justin Bieber <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://www.businessinsider.com.au/justin-bieber-holy-video-chance-the-rapper-2020-9">plays a laid-off oil-rig worker</a> in a music video, it isn’t just an entertainment story; it’s a climate story. When <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://morningconsult.com/2020/09/28/adults-children-climate-change-polling/">one in four childless adults</a> says that climate change shaped their reproductive decisions, it is of course a climate story, but it’s also a sex story.

Nearly 40 years ago, Tracy Kidder <a data-event-element="inline link" href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/11/trouble-in-the-stratosphere/308312/">wrote in our pages</a> that scientists were studying difficult questions raised by “the greenhouse effect.”</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">And in our first issue, in 1857, our founders wrote that the magazine would be of “no party or clique.” That famous line has appeared in our table of contents, off and on, for the past century and a half.</p><p id="injected-recirculation-link-1" class="ArticleRelatedContentLink_root__VYc9V" data-view-action="view link - injected link - item 2" data-event-element="injected link" data-event-position="2"><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/10/heat-human-rights-issue-21st-century/616693/">Read: The heat gap</a></p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">But another sentence followed it. The founders did not reject partisanship because they wished to avoid taking sides, or out of some faith in the journalistic “view from nowhere.” Instead, their dislike for clannishness flowed from their concern for nuance and a higher kind of truth. <em>The Atlantic</em>, the founders wrote, should “deal frankly” with people and parties—and it should always “keep in view that moral element which transcends all persons and parties, and which alone makes the basis of a true and lasting national prosperity.”</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">For the past few years, I’ve had those words taped to my desk on an index card. They paint a marvelous picture—of an invisible substance that molds each of us, permeates all our politics, hums with morality, and somehow implicates our abundance.</p><p class="ArticleParagraph_root__4mszW" data-flatplan-paragraph="true">It’s just a metaphor, of course. And yet—in one of those gasps of historical foresight—the image suggests what we now call the climate.</p><div class="ArticleBody_divider__GpNxD" id="article-end"></div></section><div data-event-module="footer"><div class="ArticleWell_root__fueCa"><div data-event-module="author footer" class="ArticleFooter_authorFooter__5NsdY"><div class="SectionHeading_root__3GnqT"><h3 class="SectionHeading_heading__iNkek">About the Author</h3></div><div><div class="ArticleBio_root__ua8zj"><address id="article-writer-0" class="ArticleBio_author__6pDyl" data-event-element="author" data-event-position="1" data-flatplan-bio="true"><div class="ArticleBio_content__O0ZVF"><a class="ArticleBio_headshotContainer__Am2nR" href="https://www.theatlantic.com/author/robinson-meyer/" data-event-element="image"><img alt="" loading="lazy" class="Image_root__XxsOp Image_lazy__hYWHV ArticleBio_headshot__6Aykd" src="https://cdn.theatlantic.com/thumbor/TBwj6ITpM9KlZadpv1vszW0fdAk=/758x734:2129x2105/120x120/media/None/IMG_0438/original.jpg" width="60" height="60"/></a><div class="ArticleBio_bioSection__Hef4P"><div data-flatplan-bio="true"><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/author/robinson-meyer/" class="author-link" data-label="https://www.theatlantic.com/author/robinson-meyer/" data-action="click author -
