It is now no longer a question of if, but when... Since records began in 1880, nineteen of the twenty hottest years have occured since 2000[1].
The issue is not just isolated to CO2 production 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.
