The bad news: We have burned our way into a climate crisis that is of our own making.
The good news: Because human actions have caused the problem, human actions can solve the problem, and in the process transition to a more sustainable and just society.

The world’s top climate scientists have told us we have a 10-year window to make rapid reductions in the carbon pollution causing global warming in order to hold the warming to the low end of under 3 degrees Fahrenheit. If we don’t, we will severely destabilize the global climate, leading to extreme weather, droughts, floods and sea-level rise that will be increasingly hard for humans to manage.
