Paul Hawken

As someone deeply invested in the fight against climate change, I strongly believe that high-income countries must lead the charge. These nations have historically contributed the most to greenhouse gas emissions and possess the resources and technology to make substantial changes. It is our moral obligation to set an example and alleviate the burden on low- and middle-income countries, enabling a global transition to sustainable practices.

I believe that relying on geoengineering, such as Silver Lining style cloud manipulation, is a dangerous distraction from addressing the root causes of climate change. We should focus on sustainable practices, reducing emissions, and protecting natural ecosystems rather than risking unintended consequences of large-scale technological interventions.
