Scientist world-wide believe, that limiting global warming beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius ( C) compared to pre-industrial levels is a critical target outlined in the Paris Agreement, as exceeding this threshold would have severe and potentially irreversible impacts on the planet. Yet policies currently in place point to a 2.8 C temperature rise by the end of the century.
The science is clear; our climate is heating rapidly. The average global temperatures have increased by approximately 1.1 degrees Celsius since 1880s, particularly in the late 19th century. The concentration of atmospheric CO2 is at its highest level ever. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) steadily points out that human activities have warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land, producing widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere, and biosphere. Due to these changes in climate, the number of weather, climate and water-related disasters has increased by a factor of five over the past 50 years. In the United States alone, this has contributed to over 2 million deaths and $3.64 trillion in losses.3
The warming is not uniform across all regions and seasons, but the overall trend indicates a significant and sustained increase. It is important to note that year-to-year fluctuations and regional variations can occur, but the long-term trend clearly shows an upward trajectory in global temperatures.
The consequences of this warming trend are diverse and include more frequent and severe heatwaves, changes in precipitation patterns, rising sea levels, loss of polar ice, shifts in ecosystems and species distribution, and other climate-related impacts. Monitoring and understanding these temperature changes are crucial for developing effective strategies to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of global warming. Scientists, organizations, and governments worldwide continue to study and analyze temperature data to inform policies and actions aimed at addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
While there may be individuals who argue that the planet does not need saving, it is important to consider the overwhelming scientific consensus and evidence that supports the urgent need for environmental conservation and sustainable practices. Despite the existence of disinformation, the scientific consensus maintains that global warming is real, primarily caused by human activities, and poses significant risks to the planet and its inhabitants.
The goal of this book is to help individuals develop critical thinking skills that are essential to discern reliable information from misinformation, ultimately increasing awareness and Global Citizenship. I hope to arm future generations with critical thinking capabilities, and knowledge for protecting our planet, while eliminating urban legends and meths. This is a book based off my research and opinions.
