Ice ages, warm periods, asteroid impacts – our Earth's climate has always been in flux. The difference from earlier times is that since the Industrial Revolution, these changes have increasingly been caused by humans .

Some experts predict a temperature rise of up to 4.8 degrees Celsius by the end of the 21st century. The consequences would be unforeseeable environmental disasters—combined with massive global migration.

The conclusion is clear: CO₂ emissions must be drastically reduced. It's already five minutes to midnight —the harbingers of catastrophe have long been palpable.
