A potentially game-changing climate story has been hiding in plain sight — until now.
Today marks the launch of #The89Percent Project, a yearlong global journalistic effort to highlight the vast majority of people who care about climate change and want their governments to do something about it.

A gobsmacking story. Water companies let toxic waste disposers, for cash, dump their loads into sewage farms. The sewage sludge is then spread, untested, on farmland, potentially poisoning vast areas, entire ecosystems and the people (you and me) eating the food.

There is nothing more obviously inevitable to me than everyone eventually concluding that, no, you can't work with the Trump admin., you can't "find areas of compromise," you can't treat this as normal politics, the only option is total, unremitting opposition. Everyone will get there eventually.
