“Climate change may well be the greatest challenge that humankind has ever faced. The stakes are certainly the highest imaginable: civilization itself is threatened, and the menace is imminent. We appear to be hurtling toward a tipping point. Maybe we have already passed it. Beyond this dire marker, measured in parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, our best efforts of remediation would fail to reverse, or even much temper, a self-reinforcing and accelerated cooking of our planet. Whether we are at a cataclysmic point of no return, or simply worsening an already massive problem, one thing is clear: greater and swifter action is required.”
