To divulge the whole story of global warming – what a task. Where to even begin? How would we explain the state of our existence on planet Earth to a foreigner? Human activities in the Anthropocene? The Industrial Revolution? Population growth? Fossil Fuels? I am unsure of the beginning and I sure don\u2019t want to know the ending.<\/p>\n

Weart carefully tells the story of global warming through meticulously weaving in and out of science and history in The Discovery of Global Warming: Revised and Expanded Edition.<\/em> Additionally, to my surprise, Weart actually stated a handful of aggressive verbs, which is often unlikely for climate change activists who try to \u201cspeak the party talk\u201d. I was pleasantly surprised. Often climate change speakers are lost in their sea of words when\u00a0attempting to maintain their position\u00a0in the middle and not appear too radical. In order to achieve some sort of movement\u00a0I really respected when\u00a0Weart presents\u00a0to model ourselves differently in the name of change. Real change. Not just something that we talk about and agree on at a conference.<\/p>\n

Discovering the truth<\/a> about our state of being is so much more than just the idea<\/a>. It is taking action and creating momentum in order to catapult change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
