Climate Change Solutions: What You can Do Right Now
We know. It's overwhelming.
The threat of global warming hangs over our planet like a storm cloud. If not checked soon, it could some day soon cause untold – possibly irreparable – harm to our planet's ecosystem, triggering:
severe weather changes;
threats to our food and water supplies;
rising sea levels;
glacier melting;
endangerment of thousands of plant and animal species;
the spread of deadly diseases.
But there is good news. The world now recognizes the problem. Governments around the globe are taking action to cap carbon dioxide emissions (which account for more than half of the greenhouse gases that trap the sun's heat inside the earth's atmosphere), set meaningful targets for fuel-efficient cars and offer incentives for green buildings.
The U.S. government, unfortunately, has not led the debate on climate change solutions, and has been slow to embrace significant change in these big areas. In short, the U.S. government either says the threat isn't real – despite almost unanimity among scientists that the threat is real and imminent -- or that dealing with it will harm the economy.
