Climate change and net Zero is a compelling challengee
The scientific consensus is clear: human activity is causing dangerous climate change with potentially catastrophic consequences.
We have passed the point of avoiding some impacts, but immediate action can still limit the damage.
Climate change is a social justice issue, as wealthier nations contribute more to the problem but are less vulnerable to its effects.

Climate change is a pressing global issue with far-reaching consequences. Climate change refugees have increased 41% since 2008 with over 32 million refugees today. UNHCR debunks 5 myths with facts highlighting the urgent need for action. Key points include the growing number of people displaced by climate-related disasters, the challenges of predicting future displacement, and the importance of both mitigation and adaptation efforts. We must stope emissions, and build more resilient and sustainable future for all.

Earth’s energy imbalance EEI is caused by greenhouse gases. Leon Simons uses analogies (bombs, sunlight) to show the immense amount of heat trapped (20 ZJ/year). This trapped heat is 33x humanity’s annual energy use and could raise sea levels by 15cm. The goal is to visualize the vast amount of heat our actions cause.

Lauri Myllyvirta forecasts China’s coal dependency to drop from 70% to 45% by 2030, influenced by renewable expansions and energy policy shifts reported in April 2024. Despite local-global energy strategy conflicts and bureaucratic hurdles, China’s renewable energy sector is flourishing with vast solar and wind installations, and plummeting solar, battery prices. China’s energy security challenge is compounded by coal quality issues and reliance on imports.
