Climate Change by the Numbers

By Eric Smalley

Environmental writer Bill McKibben has a good article in Rolling Stone about the basic math of climate change.

He points out the significant gulf between current science and the goals of policymakers (goals they’ve failed to meet). As difficult as it is to imagine the world holding global warming to 2 degrees C over the course of the century, it’s clear that 2 degrees is too much to avoid dire consequences.

Bottom line: it’s all hands on deck.
