2020 matched all global heating records. In 2021 carbon releases will reach a milestone. Soon we face a 2°C hotter future. LONDON, 12 January, 2021 − We Earthlings are now unmistakably on our way to the global climate we promised barely six years ago we’d never reach − a 2°C hotter future. Some time this...

Earth is now committed to a 2°C hotter future
The planet is facing a “ghastly future of mass extinction, declining health and climate-disruption upheavals” that threaten human survival because of ignorance and inaction, according to an international group of scientists, who warn people still haven’t grasped the urgency of the biodiversity and climate crises. The 17 experts, including Prof Paul Ehrlich from Stanford University,... Continue Reading →
Top scientists warn of ‘ghastly future of mass extinction’ and climate disruption
Never before have we had to deal with a problem that is this detrimental to society and lacks bipartisan support.

Our Best Chance to Slow Global Warming Comes in the Next Nine Years
No one needed to predict a frothing horde of Trump supporters would lay siege to the Capitol on Wednesday because they told us that was the plan all along. They told us not just on Twitter, TikTok, and TheDonald in the weeks leading up to the attack. They’ve been telling us for years from the... Continue Reading →

Why Climate Change is a threat to human rights…
Climate change is unfair. While rich countries can fight against rising oceans and dying farm fields, poor people around the world are already having their lives upended -- and their human rights threatened -- by killer storms, starvation and the loss of their own lands. Mary Robinson asks us to join the movement for worldwide... Continue Reading →
