A new company has been set up to combat climate change, and it’s not going to be a typical technology company.
The company, the Climate Alliance, is a nonprofit organization created by former U.S. Senator Tom Udall to promote the idea that we can harness technology to address climate change and the challenges associated with it.
The organization’s founder, Dan Hartman, says he believes technology will make the world a better place by reducing emissions.
He says climate change is a threat to our way of life and the ability of our economy to function, and he says the technology industry has an obligation to be the one to lead.
“We are at a critical moment in history.
There is a massive amount of work to be done in terms of technological solutions and we have an obligation as a technology company to take the lead in addressing this,” he said.
The Climate Alliance has set up a website, climatealldefense.org, where people can sign up to become a member.
The nonprofit group says it aims to raise money and build awareness for climate change action.
And they’re hoping that people will be inspired to take action.
“The climate issue has been under-covered and under-discussed, and that is why I am excited about the new initiative, and so is the Climate Leadership Council, the National Science Foundation, and the United States Senate,” Hartman said.
“This is an exciting time for America to finally start taking action on climate.”
But Hartman says technology isn’t going to solve the problem.
“I don’t believe that technology is the answer.
We need to use the best technologies, the best ideas that can be developed, and then apply them,” he explained.
He believes the industry has been “slowly” changing over the past few decades, but that’s going to change.
“You’re going to see the adoption of technology more and more in everything from medical research, to manufacturing, to finance, to transportation, to communications, to energy, to environmental,” he told ABC News.
“In the coming years, we’re going as a society to adopt a new and more aggressive approach to reducing carbon emissions and climate change.
And this is going to require a lot of new technologies.”
Hartman says he hopes that the new organization, which is called the Climate Coalition, will make this a “big conversation.”
The group is already receiving donations, and will be using those funds to recruit people to help lead the effort.
