Peer-reviewed Scientists report increases in Earth warming must stay below 1.5 degrees Centigrade (1.5 degrees Farenheit) by quickly transitioning to 100 percent renewable energy. Emissions must be reduced by half within this decade. While we are now well over 400 parts per million (ppm) of C02 in the atmosphere, 350.org projects "we need to get below 350 ppm" to tackle the climate crisis. As of August 19, 2022, we are at 417.4 ppm.
Government response is not enough...the private sector needs immediate and vigorous involvement in a war-like initiative with public-private partnerships and equity efforts. That approach will create a myriad of economic opportunities which create jobs throughout the Florida and national economy.
The featured resources on this page help you chart where we are at now and shows the key role Florida can play, with true sequestration efforts, in our battle against this dangerous greenhouse gas.
