Mom says, common sense tells us that we must change some of our ways of doing things:

  • things are getting hotter- the last seven years are the hottest on record
  • the weather is becoming more extreme and unpredictable
  • the permafrost is thawing and at some point will release a massive amount of methane (much worse than carbon dioxide)
  • there are feedback loops (like glaciers melting and oceans rising) that are accelerating our environmental changes

**BUT** if we all work together we can stop this decline- see how.
