Thanks for the the article “Is the planet losing one of its best ways to slow climate change?” (April 16, Information) It’s a scary article, and it exhibits that we have to drastically decrease our emissions instantly if we need to restrict rises in temperature and local weather disruption.
The excellent news is that we’ve the instruments to take action now: Clear power sources (wind, photo voltaic) at the moment are cheaper than fossil fuels, create good jobs, reduce air pollution and are wanted to attain power safety.
The one factor lacking is the political will to transition away from fossil fuels. Our elected legislators and the Trump administration must maintain the inexperienced power tax credit handed by the earlier Congress and facilitate the event of recent clear power tasks.
Fixing local weather change just isn’t a partisan subject however an existential subject. Transitioning to wash power now’s the situation for future generations to outlive.
