KSR doing solid historical research, interrogating himself and climate scientists, his ideas, and getting interrogated by social scientist. Definitely lefty (The Dig is part of Jacobin magazine).
I enjoyed this one as well:

This is scary but ironic: climate change is accelerating the spread of a tick species whose bite can cause a lifelong allergy to red meat (the production of which is a major contributor to climate change).
Bonus irony points that the little beastie is named the “Lone Star Tick” given that it has the potential to wipe out the demand for Texas Barbecue.

Next we need a bacterium that eats through oil wells and SUVs.
(Actually, though, there is a vaccine that is being developed against Lyme disease, but may also work against this disease, because the vaccine is against the tick saliva itself, and not any specific virus carried by the ticks. Interesting stuff. science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.abj9827)
