To put into context how hard we need to put on the brakes: greenhouse gas emissions are at an all time high and increasing year over year.

So not only aren’t we decreasing the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and thus fixing our problems, we aren’t even decreasing the rate at which we’re making the problem worse. We’re just piling on more problems at record pace.

Humanity is heading for the scene of the accident and instead of stopping, or even braking, we’re pushing the accelerator down more.
