1/ Many climate scientists believe that at this rate within 12 years (!) whole swaths of continents could be uninhabitable due to the heat. The consequences of this are almost unimaginable, yet it’s our responsibility to imagine it in order to avoid them.

2/ That situation would cause massive food shortages and the implosion of whole economic systems, possibly creating hundreds of millions of climate refugees. That many refugees would completely overwhelm the ability of our systems to absorb.

People have to want to change. No amount of force is going to make them change. The opposite is often true. Be the change you want to see rather than expecting some government to do it through rules and regulations that you think are going to shift the burden to others.

That’s why the group Extinction Rebellion started in the UK in 2018- to raise the alarm, to say, listen, we’ve done nothing to change the course we’re on- wake up! In 2019, the UK Parliament declared a climate emergency. In 2021, the government is now trying to ban protests.
