I'm Back, And I've Got News!

My book is done. I've got an essay in the Times. And I'm ready to start emitting.

My book is finally done! It’s called WE ARE EATING THE EARTH: The Race to Fix Our Food System and Save Our Climate. Simon & Schuster plans to publish it July 1. That means I’m going to be committing more acts of journalism. For starters, I wrote the lead essay in this Sunday’s NYT Opinion section, and because I’ve always wanted to be popular, it’s about how industrial agriculture is Actually Good.

You can read it here before you join the angry hordes trashing me on social media.

I’m also planning to start using this platform more regularly in 2025. I won’t swamp your inboxes, but I do have some longer-than-a-tweet (or skeet - you can follow me on Bluesky - mikegrunwald.bsky.social) thoughts and reporting that I’ll start sharing here. Let me know what kind of emissions you want! I’m still focused on climate these days, but after a couple decades writing about US policy and politics, I’ll probably sound off about other topics as well. We live in interesting times, right?

I’m excited to do this, and I hope you’ll let me know what you want me to write about. I also hope you’ll tell your friends. Of course, I especially hope you’ll read my book.

You can pre-order it here!
