Tens of thousands are slated to respond to his call, ostensibly to channel Franklin D. Roosevelt\u2019s ghost and make world leaders &#8220;do it&#8221; &#8211; push for strong climate policies, now.<\/p>\n<p>Except that it wouldn\u2019t be the climate movement if it weren\u2019t beset with self-doubt and second-guessing. Going to New York, you see, produces carbon dioxide emissions, the very cause of the problem. So how then can climate activists justify riding, driving or\u00a0\u2013\u00a0heaven forbid\u00a0\u2013\u00a0flying in the name of climate action?<\/p>\n<p>We do because traveling to Manhattan, and expanding our carbon footprint in the process, may be better for the planet in the long-run than if we stayed home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Real climate policy is what we need<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Every cross-country roundtrip flight causes about a ton of carbon dioxide, per passenger. Driving emits carbon, if not quite as much. Trains do, too. Even if you bike or walk, you will need extra calories, which also come with additional carbon emissions.<\/p>\n<p>A plethora of online calculators can help you decide how to minimize your own footprint. You could get positively crazy making these calculations, and some possibly have.<\/p>\n<p>If you spend so much time online researching your carbon footprint that your power consumption shoots up, you may be on the wrong track.<\/p>\n<p>We should all be decreasing our carbon footprint. The emphasis is on \u201call.\u201d Real climate action, then, must go far beyond individual action by the committed core.<\/p>\n<p>The People\u2019s Climate March will take place on the eve of the United Nations\u2019 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/climatechange\/summit\/\">Climate Summit<\/a>, convened by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on September 23, and for good reason. It\u2019s policy that needs to change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coal cannot be banned, but it can be priced<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The headwinds are strong, to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>King Edward I banned the burning of coal in 1306, replete with the death penalty for repeat offenders. It didn\u2019t take long for the ban to be lifted, and the coal-fueled industrial revolution has brought untold riches to many.<\/p>\n<p>The coal question, in many ways, goes to the heart of the matter. Banning coal is out. It is neither possible nor necessarily desirable.<\/p>\n<p>What we need is to incorporate the full societal <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2014\/02\/04\/reality-check-society-pays-carbon-pollution-and-thats-no-benefit\">cost of burning that coal<\/a> into everyone\u2019s private decisions.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, each ton of coal and each barrel of oil used causes more in external damage\u00a0to human health and the environment than it adds in value to the economy. That doesn\u2019t mean we should not burn any coal or any oil, but it does mean putting a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/blog\/2014\/02\/06\/think-theres-no-silver-bullet-climate-change-think-again\">price on carbon<\/a>, ideally directly via carbon markets or taxes.<\/p>\n<p>It means <a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/climate\/act-now-key-opportunity-support-carbon-limits\">regulation<\/a>. It means standards.\u00a0It means tax reform.\u00a0It means taking significant policy steps to restructure misguided market forces so they lead us off of the current high-carbon, low-efficiency path.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Composting counts, but it\u2019s not enough<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Going green is fine. I don\u2019t drive, don\u2019t eat meat, and do all sorts of other things that minimize my own carbon footprint. The climate movement is home to quite a few who go the full-on vegan, composting, skip-coffee-because-it\u2019s-bad-for-the-climate route.<\/p>\n<p>But going green is only good if it actually <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/09\/08\/opinion\/going-green-but-getting-nowhere.html\">gets somewhere<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you compel your in-laws to compost more and drive less &#8211; go forth and proselytize. But if this makes them ignore efforts to achieve critical policy changes, your campaign for a voluntary green lifestyle should probably stop.<\/p>\n<p>Many actions needed for a climate revolution are akin to a bootstrapping problem. Building a wind turbine takes steel, which in turn takes energy. The green energy revolution then may well mean an increase in current, largely fossil-fueled energy use for the sake of decreased carbon emissions later.<\/p>\n<p>The Climate March falls into the same category. Going to New York implies emissions, as do most other things we hold near and dear in our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p>Participating in the march won\u2019t change that fact overnight. But calling for real, measured climate action just might.\u00a0Helping to build the momentum toward policy change is precisely what\u2019s needed.<\/p>\n<p>If you can do it while also decreasing your own footprint, so much the better. If not, choose policy change.<\/p>\n<p>Bike if you can, fly if you must. By all means, go to New York on September 21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(This blog originally appeared on EDF Voices) Looks like the simmering \u201cclimate swerve\u201d may come to a boil on September 21 in New York City for what\u2019s billed as the People&#8217;s Climate March.
