Yesterday I learnt this. 2 degrees is the limit we can raise the planets temperature and we have raised it 1 degree already. 80% of the summer arctic ice has disappeared and oceans are 30% more acidic. 565 billion tons more carbon can be burnt before the temperature reaches 2 degrees higher. 2,795 tons are already planned to be burnt by countries around the world, thats five times too much and this figure does not include any supplies obtained by unconventional means, i.e., fracking. So we must keep 80% of our present reserves of fossil fuels in the ground let alone start getting more from fracking. Germany today is closing nuclear power stations, and using now 50% and an ever increasing amount of free solar and wind power. After the initial investment these fuels will become cheaper for the population and will preserve the planet. We have only 15 years to change or humans become extinct as the planet becomes irreversibly uninhabitable. Then the planet can breathe a sigh of relief and rebalance itself. YOU can act now. Change to giving your money only to companies that do not invest in fossil fuels. Switch your power supplier, your savings, your insurance, your bank. INFORM everyone as people do not know the dangerous choices our leaders are making. They are in complete denial due to cognitive dissonance, accelerating our journey into complete disaster. ENOUGH is ENOUGH and NO MORE.
