This changes everything
Ce = climate change
The climate crisis is there, getting worse and nothing is done to stop the causes of global warming.
The risk that the average global temperature increase of 6 ° C is a real likelihood if nothing is done within 10 years to stop the emission of greenhouse gases. To limit global warming to 2 ° C experts believe it would reduce emissions by 15% per year today and leave in the ground 80% of known reserves of hydrocarbons!
But with an increase of 6 ° C, the planet will probably be more habitable for man
Change everything: it changes everything
While planet Earth will not disappear, but the disappearance of our civilization is a real likelihood. Faced with such a situation, EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE, in our heads and in our actions.
