I started my career as a freelance science/tech writer in the mid 90s

I wanted to write climate stories -- but back then, editors were leery

About five years ago, things changed: They started greenlighting those ideas

In the last five years, I've published more pieces on climate, mobility and lower-carbon power than I did in the previous 25

Polls are not objective reflections of public opinion – they help construct that which they ostensibly just measure. But that also means they have a massive impact shaping political behavior.

And this one is really concerning – because “Biden too old” seems to dominate everything else.
