Got most of this (and almost all the left side) out without needing the dictionary, only a few holdups in the bottom right hand corner.
Strange that I hadn’t heard of the climate science reference in 27 across (assuming I have the same Klein), since I try to keep up on climate change. She has a website though.
Away we go…
