Two experts in policy and technology who were also co-authors of an international climate assessment see reasons for optimism.
Climate change and its solutions are complex. One way to understand them — and the decisions that come with them — is through “systemic storytelling.”
Learning lessons from the past could help reduce the impact of future industrialization.
This technology, popular when automobiles first caught on, had a short resurgence in the 1970s.
Solutions already exist. What’s holding humanity back is the will to get past the status quo and embrace innovation.
Planting trees and preventing deforestation can store carbon in nature, but the effect may only be temporary. If we also eliminate emissions from fossil fuels, even this temporary effect is important.
Most carbon dioxide captured in the U.S. today is used to extract more oil. Two scholars point to another way: biological sequestration.
As the state copes with hurricanes and climate disasters, it is figuring out how to manage the slow-motion loss of its coastal land. But its plans could endanger the cultures that define the region.
The Army Corps of Engineers is planning a sea wall 6 miles long and flood gates. The infrastructure might protect downtown from a hurricane storm surge, but most of the area will still be vulnerable.
Installing solar panels over California’s 4,000 miles of canals could generate less expensive, renewable energy, save water, fight climate change – and offer a solution for the thirsty American West.
The response to COVID-19 suggests how we can leverage entrepreneurial approaches to climate change.
