From Northfield's Rotary Climate Action Team (RCAT) the most recent information in climate news and education.
Climate in the news
- Fossil fuel driven heat is killing thousands in Europe and elsewhere.
- The rate of global warming has doubled, with projections now showing us over +1.5C by 2028 (if not already).
- Fixing the overshoot of the 1.5C goal, will require big cuts in emissions as soon as possible. We should all try to do our part both politically and personally.
- Achieving net zero emissions (i.e. bringing CO2 and methane emissions down to net zero) is essential. Until we do, global temperatures will keep rising.
