By 1975, climatologists had enough data to show that global
warming was occurring. By the end of the 1980's, the international community
had agreed upon a 2 degree Celsius increase in global temperature (since the
“Industrial Revolution” and the world's increasing burning of fossil fuels) as
the upper limit beyond which the world could
not adapt with minimum harm and destruction to the impacts of that
warming.
As of the current international Paris agreement on global
warming, the upper limit is now 1.5 degrees Celsius – although there is
significant disagreement that the upper limit is actually below that number,
closer to a 1 degree Celsius increase WHICH the world will shortly reach.
Even assuming that it is possible to stay below a 1.5 degree
Celsius increase and to adapt to it with minimum harm, etc., we are at the
point where the world must achieve a radical reduction of warming gas emissions
very rapidly (decades at most).
We MUST declare war on Climate Change! (Illustration by Andrew Colin Beck)
In other words, NOW IS THE TIME WHEN we must make the sacrifices to reduce energy use and switch to renewables as if (metaphorically) war had been declared and we had to totally mobilize to defend against invasion!
