Takeaway: The vital signs of our global climate are very alarming, but we still have time. We need to be brave and unite across the planet to unwind our global economy from fossil fuels. It is not your imagination – heat and climate records are being shattered. These data underscore the need for rapid decarbonization of our global economic systems – in particular a managed global phaseout from fossil fuels which accounts for 85 percent of greenhouse gases in the past decade. The findings in the sixth assessment synthesis report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (AR6 IPCC, April 2023) were straightforward: there is enough worldwide funding available to swiftly decrease greenhouse gas (GHG) pollution, provided we address existing obstacles. It is essential for our governments to pass legislation that holds those responsible for pollution accountable and shifts financial investments away from fossil fuels. The positive aspect is that once we achieve net-zero emissions within a decade or two, Earth’s climate systems will start to stabilize. Go back to the Laser Talks Page.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
CCL Canada respectfully acknowledges that the work we support stretches across the homes of many First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples on Turtle Island and that their traditional knowledge must be significantly incorporated as part of meaningful action on the climate crisis. We acknowledge that they are traditional owners and custodians of this land and that for decades they have been the first line of defence against climate breakdown. Indigenous resistance has stopped at least 1.8 billion metric tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution on Turtle Island
