Okay, let’s talk about this. Scott Dance is officially joining The New York Times’ Climate Desk, and honestly? It feels like a power move. Dance has been killing it with his climate reporting for years—deep dives into extreme weather, sharp analysis on policy, and stories that actually make you *feel* the urgency of the climate crisis.
This isn’t just another byline shuffle. The Times doubling down on climate coverage by bringing someone like Dance into the fold signals something important: climate journalism is no longer a niche. It’s front-page, breaking-news, can’t-look-away material. And having a reporter with his track record on the team? That’s how you cut through the noise.
What I love about this move is the clarity it brings. Climate stories aren’t just science reports or political debates—they’re human stories. They’re about displacement, adaptation, injustice, innovation. Dance gets that. His work has always had a gritty, grounded quality that resonates.
So yeah, this is a win. For readers, for the Times, and honestly, for the future of climate storytelling. Can’t wait to see what he does next.
