Climate Science Basics:1. It’s warming.2. It’s us.3. We’re sure.4. It’s bad.5. We can fix it.(Dr. Kimberly Nicholas)

Here’s the good news: 1. We know exactly what we have to do — keep fossil fuels in the ground and quicklytransition to 100% renewable energy. 2. Renewable energy is getting cheaper and more popular every day. In fact, global carbonemissions have already started to slow due to the rapid growth of clean energy. 3. We’re not alone — the worldwide movement to stop climate change and resist the fossilfuel industry is growing stronger every day.

We can do this!
