In December of 2015, 196 nations of the planet Earth agreed to to do their best to keep global temperature rise “to well below 2 degrees Celsius” from a preindustrial baseline. The uninhabitable (or at least unwelcoming) earth Having read all or most of these texts, you should have a better idea of what the climate crisis is – and what each of us can do about it. While this might be good for their bottom line in the short term, it would be disastrous for the future of our planet. The goal is not necessarily to convince us that the climate crisis does not exist, but rather to raise doubts in our minds about its nature and severity so that we will be slow to act, thereby allowing the fossil fuel industry to continue business as usual for as long as possible. Still others, like Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming have been generated by fossil fuel interests in order to cause us to doubt that there even is a crisis. Others, like “The Uninhabitable Earth” by David Wallace-Wells, look squarely at the climate crisis and its future – and what the future may hold if we do not respond to the crisis, immediately. Unfortunately, we largely ignored both writers – though there is still time to act on what they had to say. Yet, both writers seriously questioned the lifestyle choices that have profoundly exacerbated this crisis. Some like Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, published in 1854, and Vance Packard’s The Waste Makers – which is…well…as old as I am – have nothing to say about the climate crisis. Not only what it is, but what we can do about it.

Why Scientists Disagree About Global Warming The results suggest that rather than Fleadership inspiring responsible COVID preventative behavior at state or national levels, or leading to better understanding of climate change, the populations who tend to elect females, also understand science more than those who do not.2☌: Beyond the Limit, Fires, floods and free parking Americans who embraced federal Fleadership in 2016 and again in 2020 were less likely to deny climate change and spread COVID-19.

These reveal correlations between climate denial, high COVID/100k, and presidential votes for exclusively male candidates. Here, we investigate at the state level, female gubernatorial leadership, recent presidential (and VP) voting patterns, climate denial, and COVID/100k. Recent politicization of science amidst increasing polarization of American politics juxtaposed with examples of female leadership (Fleadership) throughout the U.S (and abroad) begs the question of how gender impacts crisis response decision-making. The increasing role of women in leadership roles may be both a cause and effect of public attitudes.
