It is now no longer a question of if, but when... Since records began in 1850, seventeen of the eighteen hottest years have occured since 2000.
The issue is not just isolated to CO2 production and our climate but:
- Biodiversity loss and deforestation via over farming and agriculture.
- Ocean acidification
- Ozone depletion
- Microplastics via overconsumption.
- the nitrogen cycle
- the phosphorus cycle
These issues combined are accelerating us towards a collapse.
