Eating meat, especially beef, is a major driver of greenhouse‑gas emissions, land use, water use and biodiversity loss; livestock accounts for roughly 14–18% of global greenhouse‑gas emissions and bee...
When individuals reduce their carbon footprints, their direct actions do cut greenhouse-gas emissions—sometimes substantially at household scale—but those savings alone cannot substitute for systemic ...
Combined emissions for the world’s largest emitters vary by dataset and year, but multiple sources show the top 10 emitters account for a large majority of global CO2: China alone emitted about 13.3 G...
Climate change is not a short-term, transient problem; it is already producing record-high temperatures, extreme weather and rising risks that are expected to persist and accelerate without deep, rapi...
Climate change is clearly framed as a rapidly escalating, serious global threat by multiple scientific and intergovernmental reports: 2025 is set to be the world’s second- or third-hottest year on rec...
The second Trump administration enacted sweeping rollbacks across air, water, wildlife and climate policy — including withdrawal of CEQ NEPA climate guidance, moves to abandon Biden-era soot (PM2.5) l...
Multiple recent scientific assessments conclude that human activity — primarily emissions from burning fossil fuels and land-use change — is the dominant driver of the warming observed since the mid-2...
Human activity — chiefly burning fossil fuels and land‑use change — is the dominant driver of recent global warming, with greenhouse gas concentrations and emissions at record levels and human fingerp...
Yes. Researchers and policy analysts document multiple cases where shifts in individual behavior—when amplified, studied, or paired with advocacy—helped produce or reshape environmental policy. Peer‑r...
Multiple independent scientific assessments conclude that recent global warming is overwhelmingly driven by human activities — principally greenhouse‑gas emissions from burning fossil fuels, land‑use ...
Global fossil-fuel CO2 emissions are projected to hit a record high in 2025 at roughly 38.1 billion tonnes, a 1.1% rise driven by coal, gas and oil, while land‑use emissions have eased and at least 35...
Scientific and policy reports in 2025 describe human-caused greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as the primary driver of recent warming and warn of accelerating harms to health, ecosystems and economies; m...
Climate change is already affecting human lives through more frequent and severe heatwaves, floods, droughts, storms, food insecurity and health harms; major assessments and health reports in 2024–202...
Climate change — specifically long-term global warming driven largely by greenhouse gas emissions — is treated as an active, serious problem across international institutions, scientific reporting and...
Global surface temperatures are running near record highs, with a high probability that at least one year between 2025–2029 will exceed 1.5°C above pre‑industrial levels and the 2025–2029 five‑year av...
Carbon — chiefly in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) — is central to Earth’s climate and ecosystems because natural “sinks” in oceans and land absorb roughly half of human CO2 emissions, moderating wa...
