We’ve heard the dire predictions: Greater threats to population and infrastructure from extreme storms. Communities displaced due to rising sea levels. Devastating droughts and deadly heat waves. Crop failures and food scarcity. The spread of disease.
Based on these wide-ranging impacts on our current way of life, climate change is now considered to be the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced.
There is hope for the future, though.
Through science, we have identified the source of the problem, specifically the extra heat trapped in the atmosphere due to excess greenhouse gases emitted by human activities. By using technology, we can now hasten our transition to using clean, renewable energy sources, while at the same time, developing ways of mitigating climate change directly.
