Find out what he thinks is in store for “Generation Hot,” the 2 billion or so people under the age of 25 who are facing life in a climate-changed world. And find out what gives him hope for the future—there’s a lot that does! Read a Grist post about the book.

The chat starts today at Jan. 25 at 3 p.m. Eastern (noon Pacific) to ask questions and join in the discussion between Hertsgaard and Grist‘s Lisa Hymas.

This piece was produced by the Climate Desk collaboration.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
