Just as the Trump administration was stepping into the White House in early 2017, Meera Subramanian stepped into an assignment for InsideClimate News to travel to the heard of red America in search of middle ground in Americans' understanding of climate change. it seemed just the thing our polarized nation needed.From towns in Georgia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Texas, Meera wrote about the stuff of daily life-peaches and the winter chill, dogs and snow, floodwater and faith, the wind and the future. She examined what happens to people when the world they inhabit suddenly becomes unreliable-what they believe, how thy cope or seize opportunity, and how complicated their notions of climate change can be. She writes from her own middle ground, without casting judgment or fixing blame. As you read her work, you'll discover you can't help but recognize this territory in yourself.
