Conservatives and Libertarians fear a loss of freedom with climate-driven economic constraints. Progressives fear human-caused climate change can lead to catastrophic consequences for the earth and our civilization. Both the deeply held fears are projected onto climate science. Rich reframes the climate debate from fear to creativity, which offers both freedoms and massive climate risk reduction. Audacious? Yes indeed, but that is what Rich's Reframes are famous for.
