We’re Not Doing Enough To Fight Climate Change
So I’m genuinely scared about the future of our planet.
Having spent a lot of my childhood in the city of Melbourne, I am incredibly familiar with the horrific changes that our planet is currently through.
Bushfires have scorched vast swathes of Australia, with reportedly over a billion animals killed in the process. Meanwhile, hurricanes are increasing in ferocity, and the coastline of Louisiana is disappearing at a rapid rate.
Unfortunately, we need to come to terms with the fact that climate change doesn’t respect borders, and that all of us will eventually be affected by it in the future.
For the longest time, climate change was something that kept me awake at night as I tried to imagine the devastating impact it would have on our planet.
Climate refugees, cities going underwater, and parts of the United States becoming uninhabitable are just a few of the many issues that we will have to face over the coming decades.
The unfortunate reality is that we are living on a planet full of questions. We do not know when cities such as Dubai & Miami will become uninhabitable due to extreme heat & coastal flooding around the globe.
