About his journey as science aid on icebreaker Aaron to the #doomsday #glacier #Thwaites in #Antarctica .

Reminds me of how I used to love #Longread journalism on all sorts of topics, like in the New Yorker for instance, or in German media.
But since I became climate-aware in 2018, I just didn't find my time well spent anymore on non-climate-related, or worse, non-climate-aware journalism. The latter is of course ALL journalism, except for 0.0001%. And the former, the non-climate-related journalism is factually non-existent as all topics have a big climate angle. 99.9999% of the journalists just don't know about the climate angle or blatantly refuse to cover it.
So since 2018, what I allow my time to be spent mainly on is scientific papers. And altho it satisfies my curiosity, and kindles even more curiosity, the reading experience is ofc simply not comparable to well-honed story-telling skills like Brown's voice.
