Bring a New Optimism to the Climate Discussion with Earth: The Sequel
Target: US Congress
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
Sponsored by: Environmental Defense Fund
We've heard a lot about the threats - strengthening hurricanes, rising sea level, droughts and more. And we've heard from the naysayers who say it will cost too much to fix.
But two environmental crusaders - Fred Krupp (president of Environmental Defense) and Miriam Horn - have written a book that seeks to bring a new kind of optimism to the discussion on global warming. The book profiles inventors and entrepreneurs who are changing the face of the energy business. In Krupp's own words:
Please sign the petition today to tell Congress about this amazing new book, and to encourage them to take its optimism to work with them.
But two environmental crusaders - Fred Krupp (president of Environmental Defense) and Miriam Horn - have written a book that seeks to bring a new kind of optimism to the discussion on global warming. The book profiles inventors and entrepreneurs who are changing the face of the energy business. In Krupp's own words:
They are the Thomas Edisons and Wright Brothers of the 21st Century. And, they are ready and waiting to scale their inventions and radically transform the $5 trillion energy business. ...
These include such brazen inventions as flying windmills and artificial carbon-eating trees. It means reinventing everything from cars to concrete, replacing the old, dumb, centralized electrical grid with a smart, multidirectional energy network. And it involves remaking the economics of the rainforest.

I do not support Environmental Defense (vivisection), but I do support efforts to reverse global warming.
