Climate change is such a controversial topic in today’s society. Kathleen Dean Moore, a writer, talks about her approach to social change. In an interview conducted with Moore called If Your House Is On Fire, she explains how climate change will only begin to be resolved through morality. In response to whether U.S. needs to revise its strategy for climate change, she says, “We will know that the climate-change movement is making progress when it blinks out of existence and is replaced by a global human-rights movements driven by moral revulsion and a rejection of the fossil-fuel industries and their indentured politicians” (14). Moore believes that the climate change movement needs to be completely replaced by moral justification in order for there to be actual change. She thinks that if everyone was actually educated in what these large corporations were doing to the Earth then our morals would kick in and change would happen. The large companies have a way in tricking us to believe that there is no effect on the Earth in some of the decisions we make. In reality, our decisions is what is ruining the Earth. If humanity actually knew how our decisions were affecting the Earth then climate change movement would begin to progress.
