What Felix Kramer has written on climate change
OpEds, columns, articles, statements, testimony on climate change & clean energy. (Most significant/favorites in bold.)
In 2005 I began to write about the urgency of the climate challenge and its connection to renewable energy. Beginnning in 2012 I proposed “missing pieces” solutions. At COP21 in 2015 I promoted carbon pricing. Most recently I’ve focused on awareness and solutions for climate restoration. Also see my Climate Story.
Not yet published articles on Climate Restoration: links in a Google doc followed by current drafts and notes for other articles. Comments welcome. And the Healthy Climate Alliance’s proposed ClimateHope Media Project seeks support to establish a platform with an established media partner to publish these and other significant pieces.
