The world is currently facing significant and potentially catastrophic consequences due to global warming, which is primarily caused by the release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane directly into the atmosphere.
The impacts of planet-warming pollution are already more severe than expected as we hurtle towards increasingly dangerous and irreversible consequences.
As global temperatures continue to rise, glaciers and ice caps will continue to melt away.
The end result is a historic rise in sea level that currently has us on the path to displacement of coastal populations and loss of coastal habitats.
Already, we’re seeing sea levels rise at an accelerating rate… particularly in the southeastern United States where millions of homes and businesses will be at increased risk of flooding in the decades to come.
Global warming, at the pace we’re on now, will continue to produce more frequent and more extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, hurricanes, and wildfires… which, as we’re seeing, can have devastating impacts on communities, infrastructure, and economies.
That also includes the disruption of ecosystems, leading to the loss of habitats and endangering the survival of many plant and animal species.
Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass can help combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and by decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels.
Yet, there should be no uncertainty that the world’s climate goals are simply not achievable unless the world’s largest polluters drastically change their course of action.
Our FREE Online Report covers the “ticking time bomb” of climate change, the role renewable energy sources will play in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, and ways to invest in the renewable energy sector.
We only have one planet to protect for future generations. The time for meaningful action is now.
