As the United States marks its 250th year, Richard Heinberg examines a troubling disconnect between escalating climate realities and declining public and political attention to the climate crisis. From the removal of official climate data and the politicization of climate science to record heatwaves, accelerating warming, and mounting risks to global systems, the article argues that humanity is entering a period of profound ecological and psychological disorientation. Heinberg calls for renewed attention to scientific evidence, systemic thinking, and ecological responsibility at a moment when the consequences of collective denial are becoming increasingly apparent. Its implications extend far beyond national borders.
