It is a waste to respond to features as they disappear into never-never land here on BigThink, but here goes.
Dean Gus Speth of the Yale School of Forestry teaches us environmentalism, but what is environmentalism considering that with Climate Change, all environments are in a state of FLUX. Change is the only constant. Thus how can we protect individual environments when Mother nature herself is rolling over and killing her babies?
What does it mean to be an environmentalist in a century of Climate Change?

It means taking personal responsibility for our actions. It means living in a way that respects ourselves, our families and neighbors by taking action to stop greenhouse emissions, develop technology to contain the emissions, factories switching to clean emissions technology (which is readily available), building infrastructure such as tornado cellars in trailer parks or steel enforced houses in hurricane centers, or public emergency medical and transport plans, getting a degree in atmospheric science, environmental engineering, architecture, you name it. To be fatalistic is to be lazy. Environmentalist are Workers!
