Kimley-Horn, Discusses A Guide to Developing a Practical Perspective on Building Decarbonization
A person’s viewpoint is as unique to them as their own DNA, especially when it comes to this subject. Some vehemently argue that decarbonization is long overdue, while others state that it’s just “fake news,” using the overused phrase, saying we should not be concerned because it’s just Mother Nature doing her thing. This divisiveness continues to fuel a raging debate: “Mankind’s Influence versus Mother Nature.”
Decarbonization is widely viewed as an essential core strategy for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Some consider this approach as the needed direct response to human-caused carbon emissions. This opinion is centered on the belief that carbon emissions are the biggest cause of the current pace of climate change, based on human activity. On the other side of this ongoing debate is the extent to which these changes are not man-made but natural occurrences. This group sees it as part of the role that Mother Nature’s natural processes and variations have in shaping the Earth’s climate.
