Climate Crisis
“We have a planetary emergency,” NASA climatologist James Hansen said of climate change in October 2012. Superstorms and dangerous floods and droughts are already wreaking havoc around the world. Hansen and other experts warn that emissions must start to fall by 2015 if we are to avoid runaway, irreversible damage. Solutions are at hand. They are readily available and economically advantageous. But the public needs to push policymakers and industry to step up to the plate.
