How hot is it this March in the U.S.? “Off the wall the charts are tacked to.”
The science is looking ugly, but positive signs are everywhere also. I’m for optimism in 2012!
This year’s biggest sustainability themes and stories…
I believe in science and fact. Climate change is real and the evidence is overwhelming. It’s time for Climate Reality…
Buy local food or eat less meat? Solid lifecycle data to the rescue…
How the media (mis)handled the Obama citizenship “debate” seems awfully familiar to those in the sustainability world.
2010 was the hottest year ever, tying 2005. Will that convince any skeptics?
Right before the big election last week, I found myself thinking about beliefs and what people are absolutely sure they know, regardless of the facts. Two stories that appeared on the front page of the New York Times on the same day, demonstrated Americans’ remarkable ability to kid ourselves. But a program in Kansas is showing how you can get people to tackle climate change even if they don’t believe in it.
Obviously some things have changed in Washington and around the country in the last 24 hours. But what will this shift in power mean for the green business movement and for the sustainability agenda in general? It may not change as much as you think, and I see a number of reasons to maintain hope.
In the heated discussions about climate change and the clean tech economy, it’s hard to avoid arguing about whether green jobs are “real” or if they can replace traditional fossil-fuel jobs. But this debate is moot on two counts.
