What’s Next For Our Climate

Section 6 of 6

We know that increasing carbon in the atmosphere causes global temperatures to rise and extreme events to increase.

But what does the future look like?

Our future depends on the choices we make today.

Can you think of a choice you made in the past that impacts you today?

Much like that, our collective future is dependent on the decisions we make in the present.

Let’s explore some scenarios where changes in our climate result in measurable impacts on temperature.

Considering the different future scenarios we have seen, which one do you think will nave more extreme events?

The scenario with the most extreme events is the one with the highest greenhouse gases and, therefore, the highest temperatures.

To avoid the worst climate scenario, we must reduce the amount of human made greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

And we must do it together
(and fast).

Scientists, engineers, business leaders and people in almost every career you can think of are working on developing solutions to climate change.

The good news about climate change is that we have many solutions in place, and many more are being developed. In order to return to a safe, stable climate, we need to implement them.

Let's see what can happen if we deploy these types of climate solutions at scale.

Can you think of how these climate solutions might be implemented in your community?

A safe future climate requires that we implement solutions. Interested in being part of the solution? There are many great organizations you can join.

As the climate continues to change, the choices we make today will shape the risks and opportunities future generations experience.

Even small steps matter. By learning how the climate works, speaking up, and making thoughtful choices in your community, you can play a real part in building a safer, more resilient future.
