Steve Ewings is the founder of www.global-greenhouse-warming.com and during the "daylight hours", manages a range of renewable energy programs, focusing on proof of concept, technology development and early commercialisation. Before the sun rises, and after it sets he continues to develop and maintain the Global Greenhouse Warming web site (and teach an online climate change course). The science of the site draws on the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports and leans towards renewable, or at least very low emissions technology in seeking to answer the anthropogenic causes of global warming.
Since early childhood and growing up in the Great Victoria Desert of Australia Steve has had an interest in what is now often referred to as ‘sustainability’. This fascination continued in his undergraduate degree in archaeology and palaeoanthropology, gravitating towards exploring Indigenous colonisation patterns of Australia’s arid inland.
Steve said, "The idea that people sustained themselves for tens of thousands of years in an arid country leads me to believe that a particular philosophy underpins sustainable living. As a manager at Uluru Kata National Park for three years I had the pleasure of working with Anangu, (the traditional Indigenous land owners) and the same Pitjantjatjara speaking people I grew up amongst in the desert. This provided an opportunity to have a hands on role in managing one of Australia’s iconic landscapes and learning from the Traditional Owners.
My journey continues both in providing opportunities to learn from, and to apply past lessons in looking for solutions to global warming."
