Prof Jules Pretty says COP30 showed something vital: despite blockers, common purpose is growing. Communities, scientists and young people are pushing change faster than politics can hold it back.

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.
