Dr. David Suzuki is a scientist, broadcaster, author, and co-founder of the David Suzuki Foundation. He is Companion to the Order of Canada and a recipient of UNESCO's Kalinga Prize for science, the United Nations Environment Program medal, the 2009 Right Livelihood Award, and Global 500. Dr. Suzuki is Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and holds 26 honorary degrees from universities around the world. He has written many articles, one of which is called "Energy shift requires shift in conversion".
This article is discussing how ineffective Canada's energy plan is, saying that we have "no national energy plan". Suzuki talks about the dire need to switch from fossil fuel to a different type of energy source, to undo the ecological upset. He emphasizes on the many horrible events dues to Canada's climate change such as the destruction of $65 billion worth of B.C. trees by mountain pine beetles — once kept under control by winters with temperatures below -30 C for a week or more. The article in whole, is really pushing that the government needs to be aware of these issues and step up their act by using a more efficient source of energy.
The article linked below has some relation to Suzuki's article. It agrees with the article, by saying that fossil fuels are bad for the earth by changing temperature and gives us a new solution, imitating photosynthesis to make energy. Personally, I feel that this new approach is interesting and could work but needs more testing to ensure its reliability.
