Take action on climate change at .

2021 is a critical year for climate change. According to the Paris Climate Agreement, governments must decide now on how to reduce the amount of carbon they pump into the atmosphere in order to avoid the most devastating consequences of global warming. So, are we on track to limit global warming to only 1.5 degrees Celsius? The Climate Action Tracker explains the good news and the bad news for the planet. (Updated June 2021)

This talk was part of the Countdown Global Launch on 10.10.2020. (Watch the full event here: .) Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at

2021 is a crucial year in the fight
against climate change.

According to the Paris Agreement
timetable, this year,

governments must make key decisions
on updating their climate action plans.

Are we on track to meet the goal
of limiting global warming

to 1.5 degrees Celsius?

There is good news and bad news,
and the details matter,

so let’s explore the data.

Under the 2015 Paris Agreement,

all countries agreed to hold
the global average temperature increase

well below 2 degrees Celsius,

and to pursue efforts to limit it
to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Scientists, including the IPCC,

tell us that to meet
this 1.5-degree warming limit,

global greenhouse gas emissions
need to be cut in half by 2030,

and carbon dioxide emissions
need to reach net zero by around 2050 —

an enormous but achievable challenge.

The information presented here
is from the Climate Action Tracker,

a project that monitors
national commitments and actions

and is current
as of the 1st of June, 2021.

The good news has to do
with 30 years from now.

Increasingly, governments are pledging
to reduce emissions to net zero

by the middle of the century,

which would be in line
with the Paris Agreement’s goals.

There are already 131 national governments
that have adopted net zero targets

or are discussing them.

Those targets would cover 73 percent

of current global
greenhouse gas emissions.

They include the European Union,
which has enshrined this goal into law,

the UK, South Africa, Japan, South Korea,

Canada, China and the United States,

as well as several small island nations.

However, the currently implemented
actions of all countries

will do little more than stop
an increase in future emissions.

That will put us on a trajectory

for an estimated warming
of 2.9 degrees Celsius by 2100,

and lead to catastrophic climate change.

Under the Paris Agreement,

countries have to put forward
formal, updated commitments

to achieve the global target.

In the last few months,

the EU, the US, China
and others have done so,

and we estimate
that their full implementation

could bring us on a path to the warming
of 2.4 degrees Celsius by 2100.

Already better, but still far from 1.5.

There is a more optimistic case.

Let’s assume all the commitments
and stated intentions become policies,

and are followed by actions,

including the net zero targets
under discussion

or not yet officially submitted
under the Paris Agreement.

This would put the world on a trajectory

to keep global warming
to 2 degrees Celsius by 2100.

Additional increases in ambition

could bring the 1.5-degree Celsius target,
theoretically, within reach.

But that’s in theory.

The actual short-term actions and plans
don’t yet match the long-term intentions,

and that’s the bad news.

No one will be surprised
by the fact that short-term actions,

which may determine electoral outcomes,

are more timid than long-term commitments

that will fall on future
governments to execute.

But it is the next nine years

that will determine if we can achieve
the target of net zero by mid-century.

The first milestone is 2030.

By then, emissions will need to be halved

for the world to be brought
onto a 1.5-degree Celsius pathway.

If we miss the 2030 milestone,

making up for it later will be
increasingly expensive or even impossible.

But with currently proposed actions,

even the targets
announced in recent months,

global emissions
would barely stabilize until 2030,

leaving an enormous gap.

It is not in the spirit
of the Paris Agreement

for countries to simply resubmit
the same target as five years prior,

or to offer different targets

that don’t actually lead
to lower emissions.

This is, unfortunately, the case so far

for Australia, Mexico, Russia,
Singapore, Switzerland and Vietnam.

South Korea and New Zealand
say they will come up with new targets

before the end of the year.

Perhaps the worst case is Brazil,

whose new stated target
would lead to emissions increasing

from its earlier promise.

These countries need to reconsider
their decisions.

And finally, there are still
dozens of countries

that have not made
a new announcement for 2030,

such as Indonesia and India,

though they do still have some time
before the COP26 Conference

to formalize their proposals.

So in summary, the picture
is more hopeful than ever,

if we look at the stated 2050 goals,

but the actual short-term
climate actions won’t get us there.

There is good news elsewhere.

We can sometimes be surprised

by the speed at which
an entire sector can flip.

For example, renewable energy
is the new normal

for new power production
capacity worldwide,

because it’s cheaper.

Many major automakers
are transitioning to electric cars,

and the financial sector
seems to have started the movement

out of investing in fossil fuels.

Also, the first countries have announced

they will stop extracting
fossil fuels entirely.

The world needs to find
that kind of serious, bold leadership

to bring us onto a safer path.

And keep in mind that if we don’t
reach 1.5 degrees Celsius,

then the next target isn’t two degrees,
but 1.6 degrees Celsius.

The impacts of global warming
already being felt

will hit in a nonlinear, exponential way.

So when it comes to climate change,

every year, every action
and every tenth of a degree matters.

    On a positive note, if it gets hot enough it might kill Covid 19😀

      Quiet the opposite, it will likely produce more infectious disease

      @Pritam Sahit was mostly a joke. But of course theres a max temp that covid(or any virus) could survive. According to science, Covid dies at about 150°f . We probably wouldnt do much better. We’d die, but so would all the viruses. That would have to be considered a draw. At least we wouldnt be losers! 😅

      October 1, 2021 at 5:36 pm

      @AntiBigfootBiased Though you don’t need the heat to outright kill the virus, just hamper it enough that the R number (amount of people infected by a sick person) goes below 1.

    My only issue is many people who are about this are doing it for the selfish reason of us. Its not for the care of nature itself but our comfortability.
    Electric cars still use batteries which is just as destructive to the envirenment.
    Im doubt full, unless we have another pandemic… (joke)

    This should be posted on a comedy channel. It’s a joke.

    Anybody *anybody* that thinks political will, international or otherwise, is the road 1.5 degrees is completely delusional.

    fossil companies still hold sway over the largest economy in the world. Many countries are not even able to get citizens 100% vaccinated in a global pandemic because of political cowardice & the ignorance of foolish angry citizens. Asking politicians to enforce the tsunami of lifestyle impacting changes needed is well, beyond obtuse.

    Moral suasion does not work. Scientific fact does not work. Political will doesn’t exist.

    The pressure applied must be economic. Given the impotence of governments that can only come from direct, targeted, consumer-driven economic action.

    Organize *that, or for a start just recognize that reality, and perhaps humans have a chance.

    I’d put the chances of that happening at about 1 in 20, not a bet I’d place at any racetrack.

    Now, I’ll be dead by 2050 so I can shrug, but the rest of you, if you are relying on governments to do it *for you* are pretty much screwed.

    Individuals need to make changes. Business/government plays a huge part but at the behest of individuals. There are so many things individuals could do in mass scale to have a big impact, the problem is they won’t. There was a report that said 70% of people under 24 had anxiety over climate change but tell them to make changes, they simply can’t… They want to fully participate in society.

    It all starts at home. Eat more vegetables, compost, use public transit, live in a smaller home, conserve energy, buy local, forgo materialism and cheap products made in foreign countries, avoid plastics, shop at a zero waste store, and most importantly show your intention with the dollars you spend. (Support companies that actively make changes and refuse to buy from others)

    And before you reply back saying that is all for not and individuals can’t possibly make a change, please just look into one thing… How many straws are thrown out a day. Outside of disability straw use could be dropped to nothing. All that material harvesting, production, packaging, transport could be gone overnight. All it would take is people making a small change.

    • MrMakabar

      October 1, 2021 at 6:12 pm

      This does not work. Especially not if you are talking about straws. What needs to happen is that electricty generation goes to nearly zero, which is naturally a highly regulated industry. Any individual can not change that one you need governemnt for it. Transport is hard if your public transport sucks, the city has no cycling infrastructure and sidewalks have not been build. Housing is bad, if zoning does not allow for density. No individual can change that.

      Then you have the massive issue of indivdual action, that you just can not make sure that everything you do is actually good. Greenwashing is everywhere and looking up the data of every single item you purchase is insane. You have to force companies to actually do the right thing and only governments can do that on the scale required.

      Please do not come with straws. A straw has likely less plastic then most of the stuff you buy in a supermarket. Yes banning them might help a litlle, but it is nowhere close to enough.

      The big individual actions are low energy home, no car, no flying, no meat and diary products. That will basicly get your footprint down to a level which is all right with current emission targets and then start getting the governments in line.

    • iloveyouamberappel

      October 1, 2021 at 7:00 pm

      ​ @MrMakabar Bullshit.
      Energy is highly regulated, you are correct. What an individual can do is either get energy from the most progressive company, if multiple companies exist, get solar/geo thermal, or as I said just plain limit use(you mention this later in your reply). Yes transport is made more difficult if public transit system sucks and the city has no cycling lanes.. Again not saying it is easy and most things will require a sacrifice, something I can already tell you aren’t comfortable with (ref my OP about not wanting to change). I will concede housing may be the most difficult but there are ways. When building a home an individual does have power with some aspects and then there is a choice of how many live in a dwelling, which IMO is lower than it should be compared to average home size.

      I’m not saying to look up “every single item you purchase”. There are simple understood items individuals buy/use that are known to be bad. Straws, waterbottles, plastic bags, junk toys, etc. You see a product with tons of extra packaging or something cheap manufactured outside of your home country… May be worth a second look.

      You are talking about banning straws again. I’m advocating for personal responsibility, not banning. I am not saying get rid of straw use and call it a day either. I am saying a few small changes can make up quite a bit of change. Since you didn’t look it up.. 500 million straws per day is an average of 1.6 straws per person (in the US) PER DAY. 500 million little pieces of plastic PER DAY that had to have material harvesting, production, packaging, transport. You can’t tell me that wouldn’t make any change, especially mixed with a few other concessions.

      Get governments in line.. Sounds good, again it is up to the individual to learn the platforms, vote in, and hold their representative to task.

    We need fossil exstractons, you need clothes shoes and plastics for your car production, then you want roads for transportation of food tires for your car, so don’t be stupid focusing on 1 item, 80% of a house or condo is made of fossils

    • MrMakabar

      October 1, 2021 at 6:23 pm

      Funny, how humans have survived for centuries without using much fossil fuels. Shoes and clothes are easily made with natural materials and cars are a luxury, not necessary for survival at all.

      October 1, 2021 at 9:59 pm

      More bad news: Whatever we attempt to do will be nullified by a single volcanoes emissions, let alone the 80 other currently erupting volcanoes. ONE eruption produces more carbon dioxide than humanity has in the last 200 years. It’s never been about the environment. It’s about control.

      Go look up these graphs and compare them:
      NOAA graph of fossil fuel emissions (from 1700 to 2000)

      NASA’s graph of increase in global temperature(from 1880 to 2020)

      amount of natural disasters graph by EM DAT(from 1900 to 2010)

      From the 1950s to near present, you will see spikes occurring on all three of these graphs(the graphs are CONSISTENT with each other). Human induced fossil fuel emissions are ENHANCING the greenhouse effect which is increasing the rate of global warming and causing more frequent natural disasters.

    • coolmadmike

      October 1, 2021 at 10:09 pm

      Anything we do is irrelevant when a single volcano eruption produces more carbon dioxide than humanity has in 200 years. Of course pollution is bad and local sicknesses can be cured by cleaning up the air. But to say we can have any impact reducing carbon on a global scale when there’s 80 volcanoes currently erupting is asinine.

      @Lorenzo Blum Eisenhower notwithstanding it’s often the military that produces advances the rest of the world adapts for general use but in this case it seems more likely that the world at large is going to have to lead said complex to a carbon neutral future.

      From NOAA Climate gov

      _ Human activities
      Human activities mostly burning of coal and other fossil fuels, but also cement production, deforestation and other landscape changes emitted roughly 40 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2015. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, more than 2,000 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide have been added to the atmosphere by human activities according to the Global Carbon project.

      In 2013, another group of scientists Michael Burton, Georgina Sawyer, and Domenico Granieri published an updated estimate using more data on carbon dioxide emissions from subsurface magma that had become available in the years since the last global estimate. While acknowledging a large range of variability in the estimates, the authors concluded that the best overall estimate was about 0.6 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year.
      While higher than Gerlach’s estimate, the figure is still just a fraction of carbon dioxide output from human activities. Gerlach remarked via email, “Taken at face value, their result implies that anthropogenic CO2 exceeds global volcanic CO2 by at least a factor of 60 times.”_

    If taking care of the environment makes me happier, then I will.
    If it doesn’t work, I’m cool.
    If it makes me suffer, I refuse.

    After all, I probably don’t have more than 20 years left of my life.

And at the moment it looks quite bleak. Australia is run my moronic criminals, India’s morals are very questionable, Brazil leadership is basically poisonous, Russia is Russia, UK lost its marbles, EU are ok but take forever, China is too big to move fast enough, Africa have got their own endless problems, Arab countries don’t really care and the US will probably become republican again because the democrats will not put the previous present and his enablers in jail. Add to this the massive fossil fuel lobby constantly spreading their money and misinformation to hold on to power. Yep, bad news only as far as I’m concerned.

    Well that was a whole lot of crap. Seriously, the only way any of this will ever change is if we stopped buying garbage, stop making garbage for a dollar a day, stop eating at fast-food restaurants and in fact close them all down and their meat sources. The kind of action that needs to be taken on a personal level is so foreign to people that they will fight it tooth and nail. No, sorry, there will be absolutely zero action taken. Just more Mindless gibberish like this video to give people the illusion that something is being done. The only true action is to give up on your blessed holidays, all the fake plastic and garbage and fake food that is killing the planet. Stop consuming. Stop eating meat. Stop celebrating every single mindless b******* holiday. Your jobs are killing this planet. Give up on all the delusional lies that you’ve been fed your whole life about holidays and buying and capitalism and money and working. And mostly gods, gods and thier ignorant followers are the foundation of every idiocy known to exist on this planet. No, sorry, there will be riots in the streets like no one has ever seen before any changes will even pretend to be seen. We don’t want to take your meat and your guns away now do we.

    These “climate wizards have been predicting another “ice age” or claiming “the planet is going to burn up” for over 100 years. I’ll start in 1967 because going back 100 years is way too much to cover. In 1967 scientists predicted a major famine by 1975. Never happened. Not even a slight food shortage. In 1969 they said “everybody will disappear in a cloud of blue steam within 20 years.” Obviously that didn’t happen. In 1970 they said there would be “water rationing by 1974 and food rationing by 1980.” Never happened. That same year they predicted “a new ice age by the 21st century.” This was 11 years after they had said we were going to burn up “in a cloud of blue steam.” In 1971 they doubled down on the “new ice age” prediction. In 1974 they claimed “space satellites show new ice age coming fast.” Still hasn’t happened. In 1988 they changed their minds about the “new ice age” and claimed the heat was going to kill us. They predicted that “sea levels were going to rise from melting ice” and that “rising sea levels were going to swallow up many small islands within 20 to 30 years.” We haven’t even come close to losing a single island ANYWHERE. They doubled down on that prediction in 1989 saying “Rising seas could obliterate nations by 2000.” Never happened. There are hundreds of these “the world is going to end” predictions. Research it.
    By the way, the “new green deal” is BS too. For example electric vehicles take 40 to 50 hours to fully charge. They need a minimum 3 to 4 hours to go even a short distance. Imagine everyone driving an electric vehicle and trying to use charging stations? Instead of a few gas pumps there will need to be hundreds of these charging stations in place of one gas station. No more 5 minute gas fill ups. That ought to be real fun especially if you are in a hurry. You’d better reserve a hotel and make restaurant reservations while your car charges, which will cost you another $150 dollars or more. Those who own electric vehicles with gasoline backup systems won’t be so inconvenienced but there are still major problems to consider. One of those problems is that the country already has major problems with our current power grid. Every summer cities call on people NOT to use their air conditioners 24/7. Many electric companies already shut down your AC during peak periods. So how do they propose to be able to charge hundreds of thousands, if not millions of electric vehicles? To deliver the electricity needed for these vehicles the government will confiscate, that means STEAL, thousands upon thousands of acres of land to build more power plants and more wind turbine and solar farms. Won’t that make a beautiful scenic drive? Most of this land will be farm land as it is mostly level and already cleared of trees and stumps etc. This means families losing their property and their livelihoods. It also means less food grown to feed us! They will also have to increase coal and gas usage to backup the “clean energy” farms. The very fuels they say they want to get rid of. Remember what happened in Texas last winter when their “clean energy” grid froze up leaving people without power for days? That outage killed 69 people and caused 18 billion dollars in damages. They were very proud of that “green power” until then. Then you have the MASSIVE waste problem of wind turbines going bad, solar panels going bad and the cars battery systems going bad. These cars use 8 to 12 batteries that only last 6 to 10 years depending on usage, charging habits and extreme heat or extreme cold climates. Since the battery system is the most expensive part of the electric vehicle it will be like an appliance, cheaper to buy than to repair which means even more waste to manage and we will be forced into buying a new government mandated vehicle every 6 to 10 years. No more driving a good old gas vehicle for 20 plus years. Save your money folks because there is nothing cheap or green about the “new green deal”, err NIGHTMARE! And this is only the “electric vehicle” part of the bill, err NIGHTMARE!

    Globally, the primary sources of greenhouse gas emissions are

    1.electricity and heat (31%)
    2.transportation (15%)
    3.manufacturing (12%)
    4.agriculture (11%)
    5.forestry (6%)

    Energy production of all types accounts for 72 percent of all emissions. The majority of emissions comes from simply trying to provide power food and heating to 7 billion people and the population is still growing. We are realistically very very screwed, climate crisis is much more complicated then it appears on the surface.

      Manufacturing use electricity and factories are also heated and air conditioned.

    As Brazil has been rated as the worst country by Climate Action Tracker and “Highly Insufficient” overall ratings I would like to clarify some points
    1. Brazil represents 1.3% of Global CO2 emissions vs. 29.2% China, 14.0% US, 7.1% India, 4.7% Russia and 3.5% Japan.
    2. It has the 116th position in emissions per capital among 208 countries. Despite the 5th in population and 9th in GDP Brazil is the 12th in CO2 emission.
    3. Brazil had the 2nd highest reduction of CO2 emission in 2020 (1st was UK) while GDP declined 4.4%.
    4. Commitment to net zero by 2050 (10yrs before request) are under way and many large companies have this target for 2040 (BRF, . We already have a energy matrix 48% based on renewables vs 14% in the World as 65% of electric power comes from hydro, 10% from biomass, 10% wind (was zero ten years ago), 2% nuclear and 2% solar. Only 8% of electric power come from gas, 3% from coal and 2% from oil. Several other initiatives that would take too long to write but noteworthy hundreds of wind and solar plants will come onstream in the coming years as Brazil has abundance of these two sources.

    There is a significant negative press on Brazil, maybe because we are
    a. the World largest grains exporter, feed 1.0 billion people using only 14% of the land, while 22% is preserved for forest.
    b. fighting deforestation – sure illegal deforestation is worrisome but 84% of Amazon rainforest is still preserved – almost the size of Europe ex-Russia what makes law enforcement quite difficult. However, deforestation in 2020-21 was 10.4k sqKm, 0.2% of the total, very bad, but far from the global press narrative that the forest may disappear “in few years”.
    b. current administration – democratically elected – cut millions of Reais given to ONGs with ties to global press and institutes what obviously affects the country image.
    c. also, despite quite polemic, the current administration also cut from several billions a year to almost zero the advertising on local press – tv, papers and websites – what also does not contribute to the image.

    It’s worth mentioning, 1 degree warming represents an absolutely massive increase in the world’s temperature. One degree warming has very little to do with the temperature you feel on a day-to-day basis. Scientists tend to forget little details like that, we assume everyone understands the science.

      @The Proof is in the Plants Its not difficult, instead of “forget”, maybe I should have said that scientists tend not explain things in a way that most other people understand. Things that might seem obvious to the scientist are not obvious to other readers. The media is awash with misunderstood statistics. This one degree warming for example, the vast majority of people don’t understand its significance, it appears to be such a small change.

      Western countries ( 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇭🇲 etc. ) are the culprits for the highest amount of CO2 emissions historically & cumulatively total since Industrial Revolution 1751 till present date.

      We are 1/7 of the world population but was responsible for 60% of the total emissions cumulatively to date.

      Even today, we have some of the highest co2 per capita emissions, multiple times more than many asian countries, despite off-loading manufacturing process to Asia.

      We should lead by example and partake less in consumerism and push our government to adopt climate change policies asap…

      I think they do, the issue is the practicality of doing so. Infrastructure, Investment, commitment. This is why poorer countries will struggle to comply. The upcoming economies are relying on antiquated methods of energy production, use of less advanced transportation and industrial equipment. It is a massive undertaking to achieve these targets even in wealthy countries with the finances to modernise. Lets hope the world can understand and comply without cutting the throats of the poor.

      It’s because they used a chinese map of India. Notice how they didn’t mention the biggest liar in the Paris agreement, China? It’s pretty clear who funds them.

    And every 10th of a degree does not matter these people are outrageously stupid we have solar flares several times of year which brings the air quality down as well as the heat up, and it has nothing to do with anything we have done…

    This example in itself shows when they try to hold a meter or monitor on the degrees of heat due to climate shifting, these evidence show their hypothesis is not accurate and should not be relied upon in the first place…..

    So, according to the video, one of the best examples that is actually “doing something” is the industry? It’s pretty naive to believe so, it’s because of corporate greed that we reached this disastrous situation. Two ideas that came to my mind all-video long: change of the economic system and degrowth. That makes a lot more sense than just “believing in corporate good will”.
    We can and will do better 💪

    Pure bullshit. Talking about how countries avoid the Paris climate agreement and not even mention the biggest liar, China, is like talking about WW2 casualties and forget the Pacific theatre.

    It’s quite clear who you serve.

    Wind farms and solar panels are expensive and don’t produce reliable power. And they need backup generators. That’s why no countries go down that path unless forced to by external pressure. To say that such systems are cheaper is an absolute lie. The aim of these groups is to deindustrialize the world and make poverty the norm for all people under the pretext of saving the planet.

    Folks, please remember, the Paris Climate Agreement and the 2021 IPCC Report are Corporate Scientist Productions and only offer a glimpse at the truth. They move the goalposts, tamper down results, directly change results with “unforeseen new advances in technology” Really close to pure bullshit, we are already at 1.4C warming and will be Over 2.0C by between 2030 and 2035. We will be at 3.0C by 2050, it is already built in with our current activities. Humans are doomed as an ongoing entity.

    Does anyone out there CARE that these 3 – Bezos, Branford and Musk are contributing to fossil fuel emissions and GLOBAL WARMING of Planet Earth? They are adding to our already severe weather problems! If we can’t even take care of this Planet Earth, why go out into space and pollute that too? I do not condone rockets poking more holes into our atmosphere.

    the only way out of this insane infinite growth system that is destroying the planet would be to make it financially worthwhile for people to share the jobs we can agree we NEED people to do and work much less….no more having to work and do anything FOR money..but sharing the work we NEED.

    Everyone claims Earth will become Venus someday but lower pressure and the distance to the sun it very unlikely. Earth’s thinner atmosphere is a less of a heat sink, unless you get all of the oceans to boiling temperature, which is impossible. Global warming is too many spoiled people accustomed to their air conditioned life can not accept that the real world has variable climate and not a Star Trek 72 degree one. If you are worried about carbon dioxide, plant trees, the US and State forestry service can sell you saplings to plant for a very low fee. Just get permission where you plant them and match the variety to the conditions and climate first.

    Hydrocarbons in the Earth are actually locked up life building blocks trapped, by releasing them and planting more flora you cant return them to the life cycle, so all this global warming bunk is a way for people like George Soros and Al Gore to sell Carbon tax to businesses. Complain how China has forced the Amazon to deforest and their pollution of heavy metals rather than how we in the US have actually cleaned up our act. Why should we burden ourselves with any more of their indiscretions, I think we have do e enough. Plant trees or gardens if you are that concerned, too many spoiled brats would burn fossil fuels on airplanes or cars to travel to protest a leaving trash and making signs from paper products from trees just to shut down a manufacturer trying make a living for themselves or their families. Carbon is not your enemy without it you would not exist, carbon is life. Heavy metal pollution should be the problem. An internal combustion car in both manufacturing and operation has less pollution attached to it than an electric car relying on power plants, exotic heavy metals, and plastics. I drive and old car, the pollution that made it and it has created in operation has been recovered by the many trees in my yard. I keep it well tuned and use used part to keep it running, recycling, all metals I take off are also recycled, I use carbon brake pads, recycle fluids, and tires. Hmm I don’t use lithium ion batteries made in China harming the soil, it doesn’t have many plastics in it and it does have a catalytic converter in good working order. Think about it before you speak out.

    Why aren’t the super power’s doing more ? From what I heard MEXICO 🇲🇽 is planting 1000 acres of trees 🌳 which removes co2 from the air and release oxygen back. Not even USA- CHINA- EUROPE are doing this.

    Reducing CO2 without dealing with the aerosol masking effect will be counter-productive in reducing warming

    So how did Neanderthal man deal with climate change?… after all, it was occurring then and every day since. The climate has been changing since H2O formed in the oceans. There is nothing new or drastic happening since earth became blue and green. Stop living your lives in fear based on no real data. You only have so many days to enjoy. Don’t waste them living a life of unfounded dread. There is a clock ticking… but it is your life clock. Remove yourself from negative people and laugh with friends.
