🌡️Climate varies naturally, but the natural factors that affect climate cannot account for the warming we see today. How can we tell? Many decades of data from instruments across the globe reveal an accelerated warming trend since the 1970s. It’s clear that human activity is warming the planet at an unusually rapid rate. Some of the main drivers include burning fossil fuels, deforestation, and cement production. The effects of rapid warming vary from region to region, but all of Earth’s systems are affected by #ClimateChange.
🌍Society can make choices now to better the Earth’s future. Cutting CO2 emissions lessens the likelihood of some of the gravest potential consequences. Preparing infrastructure for sea-level rise and extreme heat now can help people and communities manage immediate impacts. And a worldwide shift to renewable energy sources like wind and solar power could limit the risk posed by climate change.
➡️It’s #ClimateWeekNYC! To learn more about this important topic, visit the Museum’s Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth or explore our climate change exhibits digitally. The exhibits and interactive stations are based on data from organizations including NASA and NOAA. Link in bio for more!
