Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

It’s been a long week at Copenhagen, resulting in a non-binding resolution with parameters which Obama says “will not be by themselves sufficient to get to where we need to get by 2050.” 2050 sounds like a long way off: a baby born today would be 41 then. But if we don’t get emissions on track, fast, it’ll be today’s babies and kids who’ll have to do it twice as quickly in 2050.
