Siemens: What is climate change? Video


Now 2 degrees has been shown to be too high a limit. 1.5 degrees is what we must try for. 

"Climate Change is the bad news story that isn’t going away 

From heatwaves to hurricanes, from droughts to floods 

Extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, putting lives at risk Human activity is causing our climate to change 

The CO2 emissions from our cars, our industries and our power plants are heating up the planet 

To prevent further dangerous levels of climate change Countries around the world signed up to the Paris Agreement The Paris 

Agreement aims to keep global warming below 2 degrees To stop the planet getting warmer, we need to reduce the use of fossil fuels 

And increase the share of renewable energy, like from wind, solar and low carbon sources 

Climate action is everyone‘s responsibility: governments, businesses, communities, individuals 

The actions we can take to reduce our carbon footprint, like investing in green technologies can also reduce costs and create jobs The risks and costs of inaction are too high to ignore. 

So what are we waiting for? The time to act is now." Siemens Nov 3,  2017
