Hollywood Needs Better Climate Change Narratives

Stories matter, but not all stories are created equal. — There are a lot of things we need in order to face climate change. Individual action and policy change are necessary, but we often overlook the importance of stories. Narratives help us to create meaning, and we are in desperate need of meaning. Narrative becomes the way you make sense…

Art and the Emotions of Climate Change

Climate Change is about much more than cold statistics — I recently published a post on Medium titled, We Need to Meet Climate Change with Art, but it was only the beginning of what I hope to be a long series of blog posts exploring how we might better make art that addresses the wider issues of climate change. As…

The Tragedy of the Commons Is Our Reality

Interesting choice using the tragedy of the commons metaphor and approaching it from your perspective. The property system in the US often looks to the English enclosure movement and their privatization "fix" of the overuse/underdevelopment problem inherent with the commons. However, it is also cast as a response to the…

I get your sentiment, but I think you're presenting a false choice.

I get your sentiment, but I think you're presenting a false choice. Vague goals lend themselves more easily to group organizing and the construction of narratives. It's important to get beyond that level, but I don't think anything is preventing a mature conversation about refrigerants just because you started with…

Good careful reading Cameron.

Ah, but I think we do agree on that point.

Ah, but I think we do agree on that point. Economics and ecology are inseparable. Same Greek route (Oikos, like the yogurt). Eco/nomos - “house rules” eco/logos - “study of (the) house.” Resource management, crop yield, air/water quality, and extreme weather are all very very “economic.” It’s all “the house.” …

Ancient Rome Did Not Fall: Why the Real Story is Even Scarier for America

Well needed post.

Well needed post. Despite the incredible emphasis placed on Roman history in the US (and the excessive comparisons), most people know very little about actual Roman history. The next point of subtly you missed, the Visigoths that sacked the Roman Empire were about as “Roman” as anyone else who ruled…

First off: I really admire the tone you took here and the conversation you’re trying to start.

First off: I really admire the tone you took here and the conversation you’re trying to start. Respectful disagreement is necessary, especially when it involves problem-solving. I hope you find my response equally respectful. I think you make a few good points that are worth keeping in mind: 1) Fossil…

Capitalism is the cause of climate change. Of that, there is no doubt. Its accounting via externalities — the pollution and carbon it just refuses to count — is piling up…

I think this is where you and I differ.

I think this is where you and I differ. You're talking a lot about economic theory, but I don't think you're actually talking about climate change. The rapid extraction and widespread use of fossil fuels (among other things) drastically increased GHG emmisions, and these changes certainly occured under the stewardship…

‘Trees in Trouble’ by Daniel Mathews

A book for understanding the challenges faced by Western American forests — When people think of climate change, one of the first things brought to mind is the growing frequency of high severity wildfires. These fires destroy communities, pollute the air, and often decimate our already struggling ecosystems. As a Californian myself, I’ve grown up knowing fires well. …
