A couple weeks back, I was interviewed by NPR’s Neda Ullaby for an upcoming environmental piece on Morning Edition.

The segment is scheduled to air today. Its topic is whether the environmental movement has become preoccupied with global warming. Morning Edition's report is based, at least in part, on a piece I wrote for Lighter Footstep last June: Five Things that Are Worse than Global Warming. I published it on the day of the Live Earth concerts, and it ended up being one of our most read (and most controversial) articles.

Lighter Footstep is primarily about personal approaches to Green Living, so we don’t directly address climate change that often. The position I took with Neda is that the success of the movie An Inconvenient Truth marked a real sea change for the environmental movement. At the same time, all the attention being paid to global warming is giving a variety of issues the cold shoulder.

I thought it might be appropriate to reprint the original article. Click through to see what the fuss was about, and please feel free to share your thoughts in our comments section.
