Courage: the ability to do something that frightens one. In Chapter 1 (âReframing the Narrativeâ) of âClimate Courageâ (Beacon Press), author Andreas Karelas quotes Dr. Kate Marvel, a climate scientist, who says, âWe need courage, not hope, to face climate change.â
We are in an era of major change, which can be scary. However, what is more concerning is losing our quality of life if we do not begin to really confront the climate issue, and soon. Yet, Karelas is excited nowadays and one reason is that clean energy jobs are already the fastest growing sector of the economy.
âClimate Courageâ is a smartly crafted read that is easily accessible, with a hopeful message highlighting the bright spots in this fight. A lot of ground is covered in the book, and it is timely given a new administration strongly focused on tackling the climate crisis and its push for clean energy jobs through its infrastructure bill.
The city of Columbus has received an overwhelming number of comments asking for a more aggressive reduction in carbon air emissions than proposed in its draft climate action plan.
A draft of the city s 49-page plan calls for the city to make a 25% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030, using 2018 as a baseline.
Critics of the city s plan say the reduction doesn t go far enough, citing the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, which calls for a 45% reduction in carbon emissions worldwide by 2030 in order to stop the planet from warming at higher rates. Carbon emissions are mainly from burning fossil fuels in vehicles and factories, but also can be exacerbated by increasing development and sweeping deforestation.
