who, like parents everywhere, has the task of explaining topics as big as global warming and the climate crisis to her two young sons.Zee told Mitchell and Kohlberg that she starts by letting her sons know that neither she nor anyone has all the answers about the Earth and its changing climate.

We didn't need to do that, and we are warming faster than we naturally would have. Because we have always warmed and cooled. That's what the Earth does over cycles and cycles and eons and eons. But we have added a blanket in the last 150 years, and we haven't stopped making that blanket thicker.
