There’s no sugarcoating the grim reality of climate change today. Humans are causing it, largely by burning fossil fuels that release polluting greenhouse gases into the air. The planet has already warmed an average of 1.1 degrees Celsius compared to the preindustrial era, unleashing devastating impacts across the globe in the form of unrelenting heat, heavier rains, dire droughts, and more. And the science is unmistakable: Additional future warming only guarantees worsening impacts.
There is some good news. The cause of the climate crisis is entirely known, and that means people can do something about it. Mainly, society as a whole needs to wean itself off fossil fuels quickly and squeeze carbon dioxide emissions out of every single industry. Agriculture. Construction. Energy. Finance. Transportation. Retail. Everything.
