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.)
The developed nations should
cover the cost
of emissions reductions in the developing world so these nations can leapfrog the polluting fossil
fuel infrastructure through clean,
renewable energy and efficient end
use, just as Africa jumped straight to mobile telephony, leapfrogging land lines.»
