“How could I look my grandchildren in the eye and say I knew what was happening to the world and did nothing”
David Attenborough
Hi, I’m Karen. Welcome to Unheating.
Most people care about what is happening to our climate. But the topic of climate change has become partisan and heated. The most extreme voices are the loudest, and a lot of what we see and hear is alarmist. My goal is to bring down the temperature by sharing information that is hopeful and solutions-focused.
Climate change is one issue that affects every single one of us. Forest fires, floods, hurricanes, and droughts don’t care about politics. A warming climate impacts not just our weather, but also our health, food supply, finances, and even national security.
I’m not here to make you feel guilty about driving an SUV, eating a burger, or flying for vacation. Our individual choices make a difference, but the solution also requires change on a bigger scale – at the corporate and systemic level.
Climate scientist, Katharine Hayhoe says “The most important thing every single one of us can do about climate change is to talk about it”. So that’s what I plan to do, and I hope you will join me.
If you have a comment or suggestion, please email me at karen@unheating.com. I would love to hear from you!
