Stance on my topic (but I could only find one source)

Climate Change is one of the most important issues facing society in the 21st century.  People should not only rely on the scientific research which lead to the advanced technology to reduce the global warming. Some advanced technologies are too expensive and could not effectively rectify to the damages that we have been done on our planet. People also have to realize that the culture is one of the root problems.  In an article of   Impact of Climate Change on Cultural Heritage wrote that “There is a wealth of knowledge and understanding in the arts and humanities that is helping to broaden the debate on climate change by exploring cultural values, creative endeavors, ethics, aesthetic, critical reflection, and historical perspectives.”
In The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight, Thom Hartmann compared culture of tribes and city-state.  City-state cultures are hierarchically organized, so there is a concentration of power. In a younger culture, this results in a concentration of wealth and the existence of have-nots. As the result, there are more populations, damaging to the atmosphere, endangering water supply, lesser food and losing more species. However, the tribal peoples are less greedy and more respecting to other tribes and the nature. So, they get food from their renewable local sources, cooperation and gender equality.
