内容介绍

现在是三十年后。我们正在取得进展，缓慢而坚定地减缓气候变化。但那些无法释怀的愤怒老人怎么办？

对于下一代的美国年轻人来说，气候变化并不具有争议性。它只是生活中不可忽视的事实。遏制和减缓气候变化的努力也是如此。

整个城市都在向内陆迁移，以躲避不断上升的海水。大规模的清洁能源项目如雨后春笋般涌现。救灾，缓解洪水和超级风暴，已经成为一项技能，

每年有数千万人为此接受培训。这项工作是全球性的。它雇用每一个愿意工作的人。即使当国家政治重新向右翼领导人倾斜时，

这种势头也是巨大的；这些庞大的计划无法被阻挡。

但仍有一些美国人，其中大部分是老年人，坚持戴着他们的红色棒球帽，坚持他们的不满，坚持他们的巨型车辆，坚持他们的愤怒。

他们的 "另类 "新闻来源向他们保证，他们的怨恨是正确和纯洁的，"气候变化 "只是一个巨大的骗局。

他们是你的爷爷、叔叔、姑姑。他们哪儿也不会去。他们武装到牙齿。

《失落的事业》问道： 我们该怎么对付那些坚信自己的孩子是敌人的人呢？而事实上，他们往往是我们所爱的长辈？

It’s thirty years from now. We’re making progress, mitigating climate change, slowly but surely. 

But what about all the angry old people who can’t let go?

For young Americans a generation from now, climate change isn't controversial. It's just an overwhelming fact of life. 

And so are the great efforts to contain and mitigate it. Entire cities are being moved inland from the rising seas. 

Vast clean-energy projects are springing up everywhere. Disaster relief, the mitigation of floods and superstorms, 

has become a skill for which tens of millions of people are trained every year. The effort is global. It employs everyone who wants to work. 

Even when national politics oscillates back to right-wing leaders, the momentum is too great; these vast programs cannot be stopped in their tracks.

But there are still those Americans, mostly elderly, who cling to their red baseball caps, their grievances, their huge vehicles, their anger. 

To their "alternative" news sources that reassure them that their resentment is right and pure and that "climate change" is just a giant scam.

And they're your grandfather, your uncle, your great-aunt. And they're not going anywhere. And they’re armed to the teeth.

The Lost Cause asks: What do we do about people who cling to the belief that their own children are the enemy? When, in fact, 

they're often the elders that we love?
