Global Warming



Global warming is the most urgent issue of our time। Fossil fuel burning, industrial agriculture and forest destruction cause the climate to change by releasing billions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Scientists predict that unless humans significantly reduce carbon emissions, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns will shift violently. Human-caused pollution has left our planet on the verge of a tipping point at which ecosystems will die and release massive amounts of CO2. If that happens, the changes to the climate could be irreversible, countless species will go extinct, and our economic and cultural way of life will be forever altered. RAN is working to curb the global warming crisis. By taking action now, we can reduce emissions by more than 85 percent by mid-century and prevent this climate catastrophe before it’s too late.
