Climate Calamity?
The evidence for climate change is clear.
Since the industrial revolution, human actions have caused 1-average global temperatures
2-to rise by almost 1°C. Levels of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping 3-greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere are higher than they have been at any point in human existence and
are 4-still increasing. Over the coming decades, global temperatures will continue to rise.
But we don’t yet know how much and how fast will they rise.

Scientists 5-warn that 1.5°C of warming 6-will likely have catastrophic impacts. Extreme
weather events – from floods and storms, to 7-droughts and heatwaves – bringing huge
social and economic costs. 8-Melting ice causing sea levels to rise, flooding coastal cities
and whole island nations. 9-Water scarcity and crop failures causing food shortages and
unprecedented movements of people within countries and across national 10-borders. Huge,
irreversible damage to nature, potentially leading to mass extinctions.
And this could happen within a human lifespan, leaving our children and grandchildren to
cope with the results.
