The Daily Underswell 015 | Let's Talk About Carbon and Two Degrees

Good Things Happening! W/ Derek Sabori by The Underswell

After sustainability-driven talks, "What's something that I can do immediately?" is a question I get asked almost every time. My new reply: "Learn about carbon and emissions and how they are driving climate change, and thus the impacts that climate change is having - and will have - on us, humans." In this talk, we'll dive into articles that explain why emissions should be of concern, why we've put a 2 degree cap on what we can handle in terms of a changing climate, what a carbon credit is, and whether or not there's much hope to stop the train that's already left the station. https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2018/1/19/16908402/global-warming-2-degrees-climate-change http://www.noaa.gov/news/noaa-2017-was-3rd-warmest-year-on-record-for-globe https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-2-degrees-celsius-is-climate-changes-magic-number https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2016/10/17/13190036/global-climate-change-facts-effects-cartoon https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/04/all-lyft-rides-are-carbon-neutral/558443/ http://www.sustainablebrands.com/news_and_views/walking_talk/sustainable_brands/all_interfaces_flooring_now_carbon_neutral_no_extra http://www.wildlifeworks.com/kenya http://verra.org/ http://www.ipcc.ch/
