Climate Pragmatism

Climate Pragmatism

In his Dot Earth blog, Andrew Revkin writes about Jonathan Foley, director of the Institute of the Environment at the University of Minnesota, and a scientist on the leading edge of climate change analysis:

Foley proposes an end run around paralyzing climate disputes by focusing on energy and forest policies with multiple benefits and on fostering resilience to climate extremes … seeing plenty of merit in broadening a base of support for steps that can build a more resilient and inventive nation and global society and foster a shift toward an energy menu that works for the long haul.
