Climate

Our Earth's atmosphere, the layer of gases, or air, surrounding planet Earth, provides a protective blanket that makes life on Earth possible by trapping just the right amount of heat to keep the surface of Earth warm enough for human civilisation and life on Earth to have flourished.

Yet we currently have a very big problem.

The burning of "fossil fuels" like coal, oil, petrol and gas is leading to an accumulation of "greenhouse" gases in our atmosphere, trapping excessive heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming and other dramatic changes to the Earth's atmosphere and climate. This is causing rising sea levels, rising global temperatures and increasingly frequent and severe extreme weather events like storms and bushfires.

Unchecked, global warming has the potential to severely disrupt the delicate balance in the atmosphere that humanity and all life on earth need to survive. This is why it is crucial that humanity acts collectively now, as quickly as possible, to keep fossil fuels in the ground, to protect and restore natural forests & ecosystems, and to rapidly switch from the burning of fossil fuels to the use of renewable and carbon neutral sources of power to fuel humanity's needs.
