For what I can only describe as my entire waking life, climate change has existed as a looming but distant threat. Despite its ever-present presence, it has never been something I felt the need to worry about. Forecasts currently estimate global increase by at least 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit in the coming decades, and one study quantifies , that limiting temperature rise to this point has less than a 11% chance of success. Unless our carbon emissions start to fall now and by 2030, 2100 unless we reach net zero, climate change will continue to cause confusion in our ecosystem. (Mohammed Hasan)
