Our planet is out of energy balance, with more energy from the sun absorbed by the planet than is emitted back to space. Human-derived greenhouse gases, predominantly carbon dioxide (CO2) and secondarily methane (CH4), now impede the transfer of sufficient energy from earth back to space.
We thus confront a planetary emergency, one of our own making. Wildfire (and its smoke), sea level rise, extreme heat, intensified storms, increasing ocean acidification, agricultural collapse – these climate associated risks increasingly will undermine our children’s future.
Unless we Act.
