It requires urgent solutions – solutions which, as the science makes clear, must be implemented within the next five years if we are to stand a chance of preventing runaway climate change and the social, economic and environmental devastation that it would bring.
Everything is in play. We have heard the warnings from scientists, economists and even military leaders: unchecked climate change will result in mass starvation, mass migration, mass extinction and amplify the causes of conflict.
Nature does not negotiate.
It will not wait for our political leaders to set aside their petty differences and short term self interest. It will not wait for civil society to join in common cause.
The time is now, the time to act and the time to set the world on a new path to a green and peaceful future.

In my opinion there is a strong possibility that there will be a great war in a couple of years. The planet needs it as well as the humankind. The small possible solution is far away from our politicians ambition. If somebody want to stop them means war, if the planet starts to go wrong (massive immigrations etc, there will be war. Scientist say that it will be the next 5 years forward, and they always are mistake and it is earlier… I am happy when I don’t read these news, but the reality is still there. At least I won’t have children to feel guilty when it happens.
And the more easy it is find this information and the more people I know or I read that they don’t care, the more I think we deserve it
