Earth Doctor / Climate Troubadour

No PLanet “B”

Earth is one-of-a-kind, and we stand to lose a critical feature if we don’t act in time. For 11,000 years, we have enjoyed a stable global climate and growing seasons, making possible agriculture, cities, and human civilization. This is now changed. Scientists all agree that we are changing the climate, mainly by burning coal, gas and oil. The only deniers are connected to the fossil fuel industry, deceiving the public for decades. Even now, coastal cities plan barriers against rising seas, and the rest of the world is on board with the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. The Trump administration shamefully put America in reverse, but after arduous negotiations with a very difficult Congress, the Biden administration had a very big victory with the Inflation Reduction Act (2022). Despite the name, the IRA has been the most important single piece of climate legislation to date, attracting hundreds of billions of dollars of foreign and domestic investment in the American clean energy industry. It’s a huge step, but we have many miles to go.

Economy vs Environment is a false tradeoff. There is no economy at all on a dead planet. All of our biology is exquisitely tailored to this planet, the gravity, the length of days and nights, the seasons, the composition of the atmosphere. We have only one home, and it’s worth preserving.

Energy experts agree that we can run the world on 100% clean, renewable energy. American cities like Georgetown, Texas,  Boone, North Carolina and Salt Lake City are leading the way. Earth is an extraordinary jewel in the vastness of space. Let’s take care of it – and ourselves.
