Despite efforts from some governments to slowly pull away from climate regulations and actions, one writer discovered a climate revolution through a combination of technology, science and community. “I was looking for our realistic hopes, when we're standing at an existential brink,” said Alan Weisman, author of “<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hope-Dies-Last-Visionary-Fighting/dp/152474669X" class="default">Hope Dies Last: Visionary People Across the World, Fighting to Find Us a Future.</a>” “Hope is an active verb, and in place after place I found things that just completely surprised me,” he said. For example, Weisman discovered a modular, wireless energy-sharing system in one of the world’s largest refugee camps in Bangladesh, where solar-powered houses connect via Wi-Fi for peer-to-peer energy exchange. “By the end of it, I was so amazed by the solutions that people were coming up with who simply refuse to quit trying,” Weisman said. “These are not people who wait around for miracles to happen.” To hear the full conversation, click play on the audio player above or subscribe to the Climate Cast podcast.
