I am so, so tired of hearing people say that we will face a climate crisis unless we reduce carbon emissions immediately. The opportunity to avert a crisis ended around 2000. Since then, we've had the opportunity to make the crisis less devastating, with the minimum possible level of horror and misery increasing with each year we fail to act.

We are in the crisis RIGHT NOW.

A new Earth-like planet has been discovered!

The newly discovered planet and its Earth-size sibling are both in the habitable zone, where liquid water could potentially exist on their surfaces.
