Climate change is an existential threat not only to our species, but also the countless others that inhabit our planet. It is thought that every day, dozens of plant and animal species go extinct. They simply die out never to be found again. If current estimates are accurate, by 2050 between 30 and 50% of all species on Earth will have disappeared. How would we feel if we suddenly died out by 2050? We would hate it. So let’s stop inflicting that pain on other living beings and start acting to reduce our footprint in the world. We know that all life is precious and worth fighting for. Let’s start acting like it.
