In a recently published interview, Paul Hawken, an environmentalist, and Executive Director of Project Drawdown, a
global coalition of researchers, scientists, and economists that models the impacts of
global warming, made a spot - on observation about the pitfalls of seeking a simple,
single solution to climate change.
However, I've never seen a
single media article in any U.S. press outlet that covered these issues — the large - scale evidence for
global warming (melting glaciers,
warming poles, shrinking sea ice, ocean temperatures)
to the local scale (more intense hurricanes, more intense precipitation, more frequent droughts and heat waves) while also discussing the real causes (fossil fuels and deforestation) and the real
solutions (replacement of fossil fuels with renewables, limiting deforestation, and halting the use of fossil fuels, especially coal and oil.)
