When the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) met in September of 2019, they published a report warning the public about grave consequences associated with our oceans warming and ice melting. Some of the effects include:
supercharged monster storms
ocean acidification and death of coral reefs
global sea level rise and "hundred-year floods" becoming an annual occurrence
These are only phenomena specifically related to our oceans. Other effects of climate change include more intense heat waves, frequent and devastating wildfires (as witnessed in California in recent years), threats of wildlife extinction, and world hunger.
While the Earth goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling, research shows that the unprecedented level of warming we are experiencing is caused by anthropogenic factors.
Unfortunately, most people don't know enough about the science behind climate change to care nor know how their daily actions are connected to greenhouse gas emissions.
That's where you come in!
You will be the expert that shares with the public the research behind the issues involving climate change. You will provide them with tangible ways in which to change something about their daily habits in order to lessen their carbon emissions... one step at a time.
