Planet - Inroduction

[AnthonyAú]

Today we face a worsening global climate crisis that threatens the future of human life on Earth. 2023 was the hottest year on record.
The 10 hottest years on record have all occurred in the past decade.
This accelerating global heating is wreaking havoc on ecosystems, leading to bigger and deadlier fires, floods, megastorms, droughts, and heat waves.
Environmental and climate injustice are disproportionately harming Black, brown, low-income, and Indigenous communities across the country and around the world.
Yet despite this existential emergency, the last few years have seen massive expansions in fossil fuel planning, infrastructure and production, with 2023 breaking the record for US oil production.
The Wall Street parties, funded by corporate polluters, are driving us over the climate cliff.

We all have a human right to a livable planet with a stable climate, healthy food, clean air and water, and living soil.
We need a real Green New Deal to transition rapidly from an economic system that is destroying our only home to a sustainable society built around human needs and protecting life on Earth.
We need to act now so that our children and future generations can not only survive, but thrive.
