Bloomberg’s sustainability editor Eric Roston discussed his take on the challenges of covering climate change and the trending environmental issues of the day.

Here is an excerpt:

In April, Bloomberg launched ClimateChanged.com, a site devoted to climate science and the future of energy. What inspired the launch?

The considerable public attention given to climate change is not always productive. The site cuts through the increasingly incoherent noise about climate change in Washington to show the problems and opportunities that people, companies, and governments are facing as the world warms.

What are some of the key features of the site?

The site is pretty straightforward and easy to use on any platform, with the freshest climate and energy news up top, replenished as new things publish.

Climate Changed is also delivered to inboxes via a newsletter.
