The climate has always changed, but humans are having an effect on the way it changes. Human activity increases global warming, melting the planet’s glaciers and sea ice at a faster rate than ever before. The only way to slow rapid glacial melting is to slow global warming, everywhere.
Endangered Species
As sea ice melts, polar bears are struggling to find food and habitat to survive. At the current rate of global warming, they will run out of their main food source by 2021 and decline to one-third of their population by 2050. They are not alone, climate change is impacting species around the world.
Impact on Cities
The UN warns that we are now on track for 3C of global warming. It is estimated that 275M people live in regions that will be flooded at 3C of warming.
