CLIMATE CHANGE: An Overview
Understanding the Problem
The climate is increasingly in dire straits. Most energy sources are still fossil-fuel based, and in recent years climate disasters have become increasingly common and severe. To best understand the current state of the climate and how we got here, we must consider (1) a history of how humans have changed the Earth’s climate, (2) the current state of our climate and environment, and (3) what needs to happen to avoid an irreversible climate catastrophe.

Solutions and Innovations
Over the last 20 years – and last 5 in particular, we have created countless new technologies that move us away from fossil fuel sources of energy. Every month, significant innovations and progress are being made towards a sustainable future.
From a purely technological point of view, we can solve climate change. The real question is can we solve the human and political and economic problems and transition to these new technologies before it is too late?
