We're hosting a panel of climate and sustainability experts at our book club next month ... Hear about climate solutions from the people involved ... Hobbs might fire a regent soon.
I would recommend the fiction book "Ministry for the Future" which is a near term sci-fy about the UN creating the titular ministry, and plausible future events around climate change
"Stolen Focus" is an interesting read discussing the myriad of ways technology and modern society diminish our capacity to focus and limit our cognitive ability to think deeply and solve problems.
As is often pointed out, a major issue with our political system and democracy is that the majority of people are simply disengaged and uninformed. I think this is also a critical challenge for local news. As a result, our diminishing ability to focus may be bedrock issue impacting almost everything else.
