      The climate crisis has arrived and is accelerating faster than most scientists expected. It is more severe than anticipated, threatening natural ecosystems and the fate of humanity. Carbon pollution from fossil fuels is warming our planet and throwing natural systems out of balance.In fact, the world has already gotten nearly 1°C warmer since 1880. Hotter temperatures, stronger storms, rising seas, and so much more, threatening the health of our families and the future we pass on to generations to come. Sea levels around the world have risen nearly 20cm (7.8 inches) since 1901, swallowing entire islands and creeping closer to populated areas of great coastal cities like New York, Melbourne, and London. To secure a sustainable future, we must change how we live and we must do it now!
