This is it.
The earth’s warming is set to breach the one degree Celsius threshold in 2015.
This frightening statement comes to us from the UK’s Meteorological Office. The world would then be halfway towards two degrees C, the gateway to dangerous warming.
So far, 150 nations have pledged to “do something” about climate change. It won’t be easy. Limiting warming to 2 C, to avoid the most dangerous effect of climate change, will require big changes on multiple fronts: a meaningful price on carbon pollution, faster growth of renewables, reduction in deforestation, and improvements in land use.
The moment is upon us, we must act, every one of us to ensure a future for our children.
