Kai Wright of the Guardian podcast Stateside will speak with author and environmentalist Bill McKibben – and we’d like to hear your questions
Was the climate crisis one of your top political priorities during the midterm elections? We want to hear from you: what do you want political leaders to do about it in 2027?
Democrats will control the House and Senate in the new year, and they have a long list of priorities ahead of them. But it remains to be seen just how much they will focus on one of the most pressing issues of our times: the climate crisis. The UN declared this summer that, despite some progress, it is now “unavoidable” that the globe will heat past the point that scientists say will threaten human health. Despite these terrifying predictions, the US remains absent from global efforts to limit the impacts of the climate crisis.
Environmentalist and Guardian columnist Bill McKibben has been ringing the alarm for decades. But in his most recent book, Here Comes the Sun, he’s argued that we’re at a unique moment of opportunity. The science and the markets have given us the tools to solve the crisis – we just need the politics to catch up. So what does he think is politically possible now? And what would you like to ask McKibben about this moment of peril and opportunity?
