ghg climate

we need to protect our air, land and water and reduce ghg to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (1.5° C). The world is getting hotter and hotter by the year. Global warming and climate change is the climate crisis.

the problem is that we burn dirty coal in outland power plants to produce electricity for the city.

again, the problem is that we burn dirty coal in outland power plants to produce electricity for the city. Burning carbon fuels produces large amounts of carbon dioxide. The majority of the world's population now lives in cities.

by burning coal to make electricity for the cities we are producing large amounts of carbon emissions making the air too toxic to breathe.

ghg CO₂ CH₄

ghg ▼

CO₂ carbon dioxide is a potent ghg. The world is getting hotter and hotter by the year, global levels of carbon dioxide CO₂ passed 400ppm, while 100ppm is considered an unhealthy amount of greenhouse gas ghg.

CH₄ methane is 80x more potent, as a ghg, than carbon dioxide in our atmosphere. Methane is a key ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone (smog), a dangerous air pollutant, and a toxic contributor to climate change. #cutmethane.

human-caused methane emissions can be reduced this decade. The goal of the Paris Climate Agreement is to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (1.5° C) This is within reach of we treat this crisis as a crisis.   Global methane assessment

Stop fossil fuels
build 100% renewables

clean renewable energy, like wind and solar, can help us break free from fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power generation and transportation.

clean energy jobs are now far outpacing fossil fuel jobs. Solar employs twice as many people as does coal.

imposing a carbon tax while eliminating federal subsidies to producers of fossil fuels is a first step.

we need to change or die. The science is clear and shows that climate change is real, and caused by ghg released by human industrial activity. As the biosphere gets warmer, we increase evaporation. And as we increase evaporation, ecosystems dry out and burn. And when soils get dry due to increased evaporation, we get longer heat waves. And longer heat waves make the biosphere warmer still. A hyper climate will end humans.

our health is linked to a clean environment.

ghg

greenhouse gas traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming.
ghg is a combination of noxious gases like carbon dioxide CO₂ and methane CH₄, as well as water vapor.
ghg is produced from fossils fuels; the extraction, processing, and industrial carbon emissions from oil, gas and coal.

ghg is heating the Earth which is producing a hyper climate which is causing wildfires and floods, drought and sea level rise, hurricanes and heat waves.

numerous studies in recent years have linked bigger U.S. wildfires to global warming from the burning of coal, oil and gas, especially because climate change has made California much drier. A drier California means plants are more flammable.

"If we can't breathe it then we die, if we can't grow food on it then we die, if we can't drink it then we die."

human activity, like burning coal and driving cars, produces ghg, which contributes to the greenhouse effect, which is the cause of the current global warming. These gases include carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane, nitrous oxides and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Climate chaos, like fires, storms, hurricanes, floods, and drought, is caused by high levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere and is already producing human suffering and will most likely lead to the end of our civilization as we know it.

we must stop the EPA's rollback of current federal environmental safeguards.

is this our EPA?

Paris

in order to meet the targets in the Paris Agreement and save the planet from climate devastation, we must halt coal, oil and gas development and finance a transition towards 100% renewable energy systems.

11 countries leading in renewable energy. Germany to close all 84 of its coal-fired power plants, will rely on renewable energy. Sweden is aiming to be a fossil fuel free nation. Costa Rica has achieved 95% renewable electricity.
