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

Humans are destroying rainforests, one of Earth’s major carbon sinks and home to many species of plants and animals

The difference between weather and climate

Some areas hitting wet-bulb temperatures and becoming increasingly uninhabitable

Tornados are getting worse and more frequent but their connection with climate change is unclear.

Earth is on the brink of reaching irreversible tipping points that will spiral heating out of human control and into what scientists call an “uninhabitable hothouse Earth”

As the Earth's climate warms, heat waves are becoming more dangerous and frequent

Extreme heat, floods, and droughts from global heating are already causing crop failures and famine

Scientists report that “ocean heat bomb has ignited.” Global warming is heating oceans, killing marine life, and may cause oceans to tip from carbon sinks into carbon emitters if urgent action isn’t taken to stop and reverse heating.
