CLIMATE CHANGE: HOW LONG CAN WE KEEP OUR LIGHTS ON?

摘要

Mark Twain used to say: "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it". Today Mark Twain is no longer with us, but we continue to talk about the weather, realizing at the same time that it's time for action. The scientific evidence is clear: manmade emissions are harming our planet. Climate change will probably alter growing seasons, redistribute natural resources, lift sea levels and shift other fundamental building blocks of economic, social and political arrangements around the world. With those shifts, it's likely that political conflicts, migrating populations, the spread of diseases and threats to international stability will arise.
