Extreme heat, floods, and droughts from global heating are already causing crop failures and famine

Scientists report that “ocean heat bomb has ignited.” Global warming is heating oceans, killing marine life, and may cause oceans to tip from carbon sinks into carbon emitters if urgent action isn’t taken to stop and reverse heating.

Habitat destruction and climate change pushes animals into human spaces, increasing the odds of zoonotic diseases

As we start to phase out fossil fuels, the cooling effect from aerosols will disappear within a year, while heat trapping gases will linger in the atmosphere for hundreds of years

The climate crisis hurts the people and countries that did the least to cause it

How the climate and ecological emergencies are creating a human rights crisis

Air pollution from the burning of fossil fuels leads to health issues and premature deaths, with communities of color being used as sacrifice zones
