The scientists warned us that the seas were rising. They were right. The scientists warned us that the ice caps were melting. They were right. The scientists warned us that the temperatures were rising. They were right. In the history of the Earth, climate change occurred over the course of millennia. In this era, it has only been happening over the course of centuries, starting after the Industrial Revolution.

The truth of the matter is, climate change is an immediate catastrophe and people who live on coastlines or islands are feeling the immediate effects. There are people in Alaska who now have to relocate because their homes are being engulfed by the sea. The toxic particles that are being released into the air are ticking years off of people's life expectancy. If we don't take action now, it will be our children and our children's children who will be paying the price.
