The next administration must recognize not only that climate change is a real problem but also that we are not on course to solve it. The next president needs the courage to discard our current feel-good but ineffective solutions. Ending our reliance on the fossil fuels that have powered two centuries of economic growth will require an energy revolution.

Reconheçamos, em primeiro lugar, que estamos ainda muito longe de acabar com a nossa dependência dos combustíveis fósseis. Portanto, se pretendermos ser sérios relativamente ao combate contra as alterações climáticas, precisamos de desenvolver tecnologia verde ao ponto de ser mais barata do que o petróleo, o gás ou o carvão.

"Danmark er verdensmestre i at spise økologisk. Men økologien er hverken sundere for os eller dyrene, og det vil koste milliarder af kroner og tusinder af liv, hvis hele verden lægger om til økologi.

The food at your supermarket is changing. The biggest food giants are investing more in organic produce. French multinational Danone just spent $10 billion buying WhiteWave Foods, an American producer of dairy alternatives and organic foods. Stressing the importance of organics, the Danone CEO says: “The reality has changed on the shelf.”
Organic food has become the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. food industry, with sales that increase by double digits annually. That’s a lot of kale flying off the shelves. Buying it makes us feel like we’re helping ourselves and the planet.

Zlepšování energetické účinnosti je módní politika, kterou podporují vlády celého světa. Na papíře to vypadá jednoznačně: zlepšování energetické účinnosti se vydává za opatření, které snižuje náklady, vytváří pracovní místa a zachraňuje planetu. Všude jen samé výhody, výhody a výhody – a sdělovací prostředky často pomáhají dávat na tento stav razítko, když se zaměřují výhradně na předpokládané plusy. Celý příběh však má i druhou – odvrácenou – stranu.

What we eat is seen as more important than ever. And everywhere we are urged to go organic: we are told it is more nutritious, it improves animal welfare and helps the environment. In reality, that is mostly marketing hype.
