We’re cooking the planet (part 12)


Last month was the warmest September on record, says NASA.

And that’s saying something—the records go back to 1880.

A steadily warming average temperature for the earth is no fluke. The science is indisputable: global climate change is real, and global warming is real and dangerous right now.

Human beings are causing atmospheric changes that are causing ever higher temperatures, ever higher sea levels, and increasingly destructive weather extremes.

This is the only planet our grandchildren will have to live on.

Let’s start cleaning it up now.

We need to slow down the use of coal, and tax carbon emissions so that the price of using all fossil fuels will reflect the true economic and social costs, now and in future.
