| Dear reader, We're living in a critical moment for the planet, caught between two competing forces. There are the increasingly dire impacts from climate change, and then there are the increasingly serious attempts to curtail them. It's a constant pivot between worry and relief. In this uncertain time, I'm proud to be part of the experienced, and growing, Washington Post climate change team. We won the Pulitzer Prize last year for our coverage of the most extreme manifestations of climate change all around us, and forged a dedicated line of Climate Solutions coverage. And it's just the beginning, as we follow the climate story into a new decade of consequences. This Earth Day, I hope that you'll join us.
