Abandoning The Market - CleanTechnica
The article "Abandoning The Market" from CleanTechnica reflects on the author's personal journey from conservative political views to recognizing the undeniable reality of climate change, sparked by observing the 2003 Hardiness Zone map that showed significant warming in their local area. The map, which was suppressed by the George W. Bush administration due to its implications about climate change, revealed a temperature increase of over 10°F in the author's region, bringing new environmental challenges like Lyme disease. This denial of clear scientific evidence by a political party led the author to reconsider their political alignment, especially after witnessing the resistance to acknowledging climate change among like-minded conservatives. The author connects this personal experience to a broader geopolitical and economic context, highlighting a recent International Energy Agency paper that underscores China's dominant position in clean energy investment and markets. The U.S., by contrast, has lagged behind due to political denial and lack of engagement with the realities of climate change. The article critiques the entrenched political denial in the U.S.
