As a theologian once explained to me: \u201cJesus wasn\u2019t killed because he preached loving kindness. He was crucified because he preached justice.\u201d In a sense, changing lightbulbs and cutting carbon footprints is loving kindness\u2014there is nothing not to like. Tackling the systemic climate problem head-on, that\u2019s ultimately about justice. And that will get you in trouble. >><\/p>\n *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*<\/p>\n << The safest level of warming is 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Achieving that, according to the IPCC, requires the world to slash its carbon emissions by about 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030. Then it must reach net-zero around 2050. This is the only scenario at which the catastrophic health, economic, and ecological impacts of warming are reversible.<\/p>\n Meaningful climate policy is, in other words, a gargantuan task that must be accomplished very quickly. And it\u2019s very unlikely the entire world will achieve it if the United States does not lead, because the United States has contributed more to climate change than any other country in the world. >><\/p>\n *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*<\/p>\n << [Kelly] Loeffler (R-GA), according to InsideClimate News, is a \u201cformer energy executive\u201d and \u201cthe richest member of the U.S. Senate.\u201d Though she\u2019s said little about climate change in general, she doesn\u2019t have to; she\u2019s positioned herself \u201cas an ardent supporter of President Trump and his pro-fossil fuel agenda.\u201d That agenda is not just to ignore climate change, but to make it worse by propping up fossil fuels and slowing down the clean energy transition. >><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Stanford Social Innovation Review The Complicity Of Corporate Sustainability Quote: << Hell\u2014they don\u2019t even need to cut their emissions to be labeled a leader.
