By Liam Kavanagh and Rupert ReadThe lying, semi-corrupt and woefully-adrift Conservative leadership having been ushered out of office this summer just gone, new blood will soon flow into the Conservative leadership, perhaps into the Party at large.

The best climate news of 2023 hasn’t just just come out of closed-door diplomatic meetings. It’s been been happening in communities across the world, where climate anxiety is becoming a hot topic of mainstream conversation*. Anxiety, depression and grief around climate change aren’t pathological: They are reasonable, natural reactions to a fearsome threat that has only grown stronger since the last “breakthrough” at Paris in 2015.

For teenagers, Facebook isn’t cool anymore. That’s probably the least surprising insight from a recent Pew Research Center survey that analyzed social media habits in American teens. Some of the other results, however, provide a little more food for thought. Snapchat, for example, isn’t nearly as popular as YouTube. TikTok has actually lost traction since last year. And race and sex also affect social media preferences.

After failing in the last legislative session early this year, a major update of New Mexico’s Oil and Gas Act is again in the works, this time with a sharp push from Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office. The Oil and Gas Act is the bedrock law outlining how production of the two fossil fuels is regulated in the state, and it hasn’t seen a major update in decades.

It might seem that there could be no more depressing state of affairs. But we believe the opposite: This is the most positive climate moment in years.

As it sinks in that the crucial 1.5C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement will certainly be missed, an incredible opportunity for progress emerges.

For over twenty years, we’ve been hearing that there’s just enough time left to fix climate change — if we act now. This treaty. That summit. They come and go. The clock has been stuck at ‘five minutes to midnight’ while every grave international meeting and report comes billed as our last chance…. and leaves us looking forward to our next 'last chance'. July 3, 2023 was the hottest day ever recorded, over 1.5 degrees above historical temperature, showing that dangerous climate change is here.
