"We now have a very narrow window to significantly and rapidly slash greenhouse
gas emissions to avoid the most disastrous effects of climate change, with just
an estimated six years left before we blow our carbon budget to stay below
1.5°C of warming.
We’ve known how gases like carbon dioxide trap heat for over 100 years and
alarm bells have been ringing loudly for over 35 years, when climate scientist
James Hansen testified that global warming had begun.
As extreme weather and temperatures arrive, many of us wonder whether it had to
get this bad before we acted. Did we need to see to believe? What role has our
own psychology played in our sluggishness?"
