Climate Change Is a Social Issue written by Kari Norgaad advocates the importance of interdisciplinary studies. These studies are equally as vital as the sciences to resolve climate change at a grander scale. As she states, “Climate change challenges that imagination like never before”. A focus that Environmental Studies majors do so well since they do focus on   becoming critical thinkers, that support imagination and new framing to resolve decrease global warming. Additionally, climate change is created by people it can be resolved by all forms of humanity studies.
We need a society that would give equal importance to both the humanities and sciences where both these two can combine and make greater and faster strides to change this dilemma. I measure positive change by grassroots movements and writers such as Kari Norgaad and John Foster who both covers the importance of Interdisciplinary studies. Both argue how interdisciplinary degrees are needed because climate change not only affects ecosystems but relationships between human actions and their impacts on the earth and that is the reason why both environmental science and human studies should work together rather than against.
