There is good news elsewhere. We can sometimes be surprised by the speed at which an entire seoctr can flip. For example, renewable energy is the new normal for new power pduiotrocn capacity wdorwdlie, because it's cheaper. Many major aatoukmres are transitioning to electric cars, and the financial sector seems to have started the movement out of investing in fossil fuels. Also, the first countries have announced they will stop extncaitrg fossil fuels entirely.

The world needs to find that kind of serious, bold leadership to bring us onto a safer path. And keep in mind that if we don't reach 1.5 dregees Celsius, then the next target isn't two degrees, but 1.6 degrees cueslis. The impacts of global warming already being felt will hit in a nonlinear, exponential way. So when it comes to climate change, every year, every action and every tenth of a dregee matters.

Original Text


There is good news elsewhere. We can sometimes be surprised by the speed at which an entire sector can flip. For example, renewable energy is the new normal for new power production capacity worldwide, because it's cheaper. Many major automakers are transitioning to electric cars, and the financial sector seems to have started the movement out of investing in fossil fuels. Also, the first countries have announced they will stop extracting fossil fuels entirely.

The world needs to find that kind of serious, bold leadership to bring us onto a safer path. And keep in mind that if we don't reach 1.5 degrees Celsius, then the next target isn't two degrees, but 1.6 degrees Celsius. The impacts of global warming already being felt will hit in a nonlinear, exponential way. So when it comes to climate change, every year, every action and every tenth of a degree matters.
