Rich, Atkins, and some Meyers

Let’s imagine Nathaniel Rich of “Losing Earth”, Robinson Meyer from “The Atlantic”, and Emily Atkins from “The New Republic” cordially meet at a bar to discuss their opinions on climate change. Nathaniel as the genius he is goes 1st, thanking them both for reading “Losing Earth” but also challenging them on what they can do to dispel the massive amount of fossil fuels burned into the atmosphere. Robinson Meyer goes next thanking him for the read, while jabbing with comments about how climate change really is impossible when your not focusing on the fossil fuel industries enough rather than the Republicans who barely believe it in office. Right after the comments, Emily Atkins comes in hot, ready for wits in defense of Rich calling his work a pioneering triumph of journalism. She elaborates on how it really is humanities fault and the blame does go for everyone involved including Republicans and the fossil fuel industries such as Exxon. They would all eventually agree on Republicans being a major problem for climate change as the majority of them in office would try to destroy or suffocate all programs or plans on climate change organizations or climate change in general. Where they would disagree is if climate change would ever happen? Meyer would say it’s impossible while Rich and Atkins would say otherwise causing a long debate that goes nowhere. Eventually, ending in dirty martinis for everyone as it still was an educated and peaceful time for all.
