The Climate Emergency Is Already Here
Our planet is burning, and we're still debating whether to call the fire department. "The Climate Book" arrives at a pivotal moment when humanity stands at a crossroads, with global temperatures already 1.2C higher than pre-industrial times. This isn't about some distant apocalypse - it's about the world we're creating right now. The carefully balanced systems that have maintained Earth's habitability for millennia are breaking down before our eyes. Every mass extinction in Earth's history correlates with carbon cycle disruptions, and today we're releasing carbon ten times faster than the volcanic eruptions that triggered the greatest mass extinction ever. What makes our situation particularly dangerous is that we're approaching multiple tipping points simultaneously - Arctic sea ice, permafrost, ocean circulation, and the Amazon rainforest all show signs of impending collapse. Once these systems tip, there's no easy way back. The decisions we make this decade will determine the livability of our planet for generations to come. Look around - climate change isn't coming; it's here. The physics is simple: a warmer climate means more heatwaves, fewer cold events, and heavier rainfall as warmer air holds more moisture. The 2003 European heatwave that killed 70,000 people was made twice as likely by climate change. By 2021, the situation had worsened dramatically - the heatwave that destroyed Lytton, British Columbia with 49.6C temperatures was made at least 150 times more likely by human-induced warming. Meanwhile, our oceans have absorbed over 90% of excess heat trapped by greenhouse gases, causing stronger tropical cyclones, more extreme rainfall, and devastating effects on marine ecosystems. The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets have lost 12.8 trillion tonnes of ice between 1994-2017 - each trillion tonnes equivalent to an ice cube taller than Mount Everest. Think about that next time you hear someone claim climate change isn't "that bad yet."
