Present day climate change is human-caused and we know the solutions

Instead of demanding change, many of us are adapting to increasing risks.

Study guide of basic earth/climate science

Melting permafrost will emit trapped carbon and methane and could potentially release dangerous viruses

Methane threatens to speed up global heating

Glaciers and ice sheets are melting faster than scientists projected, locking in sea-level rise that puts coastal communities at risk

Global heating from the burning of fossil fuels is leading to droughts that threaten our crops and drinking water supply

Global heating is causing worsening floods that put our infrastructure and our safety at risk

Animal agriculture produces around 15% of global emissions and requires massive amounts of deforestation and fresh water

Radiative forcing is a holistic way of understanding earth’s energy balance

Because of human behavior, we are on track to hit major tipping points that will render large areas of Earth uninhabitable and put the survival of our species at risk

Humanity is crossing Earth’s boundaries, creating an environment that is increasingly inhospitable to life

Plastic pollution poisons the land, water, and our health and accelerates global heating.

Climate change is creating warmer and drier conditions that are leading to a longer and more active wildfire season

The Sixth Mass Extinction is the first major extinction event that is preventable and a result of human behavior.

We need to transition away from oil, coal, and natural gas to renewable energy and restore and protect ecosystems.

Fresh water we rely on for drinking, agriculture, and industry is being put at risk because of overuse and climate change

Half of Americans believe they are immune from climate and ecological breakdown
