As a result, they joined an industry-wide attack on the truth, creating a false debate that prevented action for decades. The same is true for Total Energies – </span><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959378021001655"><span style="font-weight: 400;">historians have found</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that the </span><a href="https://totalknew.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">oil giant knew</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> their core business was causing global warming almost 50 years ago. And yet, they covered up the truth, funded misinformation, and lied to their shareholders and the public. Now we know that Exxon, Total and other companies have been taking actions to protect their infrastructure from climate change for decades — while fighting action to protect the rest of us.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Exxon wanted us to believe their spin – but that requires disbelieving scientists and those of us on the ground. Indigenous, traditional and local knowledge has been telling us the climate is changing, and that the way we relate with the planet is not sustainable. </span><a href="https://rightsandresources.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Toward-a-Global-Baseline-of-Carbon-Storage-in-Collective-Lands-November-2016-RRI-WHRC-WRI-report.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">More than 24% of the most preserved lands</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the planet are managed by local communities or indigenous peoples. And as Ailton Krenak, an indigenous leader and writer from Brazil </span><a href="https://350.org/pt/ailton-krenak-fala-de-sua-leitura-de-mundo-no-contexto-das-mudancas-climaticas/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">has pointed out</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, “people think climate change is something for the future, but we live that inside our forests for a long time. […] Our way of living in any place on the Earth is through the constant interaction between people and nature. All indigenous people respond in different ways to the destruction of the natural base of our lives due to the colonization processes. We do that with what remains of our memories and traditions, and this composes our cosmovision and sustains our resistance”.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If we pay attention to what scientists and most impacted communities are telling us, instead of fossil fuel industry deceptions, the message is clear: humans are causing the rapid onset of climate change, which is already bringing costly impacts across the world – economic, environmental, social and human. The best way to stop it is by keeping fossil fuels in the ground, and accelerating a just transition towards a clean, just community-led future for all.</span></p> </div> </div> <div class="c4 cm10 right c-wide" style="margin-top: 6.7rem;"> <p class="padding-tiny bg-white image-link-parent margin-bottom-small"><img decoding="async" class="lazy" src="https://350.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Screen-Shot-2022-10-19-at-18.47.06.png" alt="The ‘debate’ is OVER.

Grain yields, for example, face a decrease in production. Food insecurity and water shortage can lead to humanitarian crises, conflict and displacement, unequally affecting different areas of the world – disproportionate impacts are being witnessed especially in parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, small islands and the Arctic. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Seasons are changing and becoming more unpredictable, making it harder for farmers to know when to plant and harvest. Projections show that even if we stay close to 1.5°C by 2100, 8% of today’s world’s farmland will become unsuitable. The fish production in tropical areas of Africa will also suffer a reduction that can go from 3% up to 41% – deepening the food crisis as marine life is the main source of protein for about one-third of people living in the continent. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Social inequalities within and across countries will get deeper as the impacts of the climate crisis hit harder.</strong> Vulnerable social groups, “</span><a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/faqs/IPCC_AR6_WGII_Overaching_OutreachFAQs.pdf"><span style="font-weight: 400;">including women, young people, the elderly, ethnic and religious minorities, Indigenous People, and refugees</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” are more likely to suffer harder from the impacts of the climate crisis – being more exposed to food and water scarcity, poverty, health issues, conflict and violence connected to climate change. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The IPCC states the difference </span><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/10/07/climate/ipcc-report-half-degree.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">between 1.5˚C and 2˚C</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> of global temperature rise could mean well over 10 million more migrants from sea-level rise.

Also, "globally, 800 million to 3 billion people are projected to experience chronic water scarcity due to droughts at 2°C warming, and up to approximately 4 billion at 4°C warming."</p> <p>One of the most obvious consequences of a warming climate is also heat stress. By 2100, the percentage of the world population exposed to deadly heat will certainly increase – from today's 30% to 48-76% – but <strong>the numbers depend on how much we are able to cut emissions.</strong> In Europe, for example, the number of people at risk of heat stress will be 2 or 3 times higher in a world 3°C warmer if compared to 1.5°C. Heat stress is connected to dehydration, organ failure, cardiovascular disease and even death, and also affects most vulnerable populations like women, elderly and poorer communities the hardest.</p> <div class="c4 ct5 cm10 alignright" style="clear:right;"> <p class="image-link-parent margin-bottom-small"><a href="https://phil.cdc.gov/Details.aspx?pid=7633" target="_blank"> <img class="lazy" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" data-src="https://350.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Female-Aedes-albopictus-mosquito.jpeg" alt="A picture of a Female Aedes Albopictus"></a></p> <p class="text-small opacity-50 text-lineheight-small"><em><b>Caption:</b> Female Aedes albopictus mosquito capable of spreading Zika virus.

A <a href="https://www.thelancet.com/countdown-health-climate">report by Lancet published in 2022</a> found that "the periods when malaria could be transmitted became 32% longer in upland areas of the Americas and 15% longer in Africa", if compared with the 1950s. The chances that someone is infected by dengue also increased, by 12% over the same period. And <a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-the-ipccs-sixth-assessment-on-how-climate-change-impacts-the-world/">the lPCC AR6</a> shows that "an additional 1 billion people are projected to be at risk of dengue exposure by 2080 under a mid warming scenario, and 5 billion under a high warming scenario."</p> <p>Extreme weather events (floods, hurricanes, heatwaves or wildfires) are linked to increased violence and "<a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth-qa-the-ipccs-sixth-assessment-on-how-climate-change-impacts-the-world/">can trigger post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression"</a>. More and more people will be exposed to losses of homes, businesses and lives due to the more extreme weather conditions and "<a href="https://www.carbonbrief.org/guest-post-impact-climate-change-on-mental-health-impossible-to-ignore/">all of these have profound, often long-term effects on mental health</a>". Organizing and uniting our forces to pressure for immediate climate action is the best way to ensure future generations will have the chance to thrive. </p> </div> <div id="habitat" class="impact"> <h3>Shifting seasons, habitats & climatic zones</h3> <p class="text-style-lead2 text-strong">The warming of the atmosphere is changing the timing of seasons, the distribution of habitats and moving warmer climate zones toward the poles.</p> <p> <a href="https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.2001104">A study</a> based on 976 plants and animals found that 47% of them had suffered local extinctions as a result of climate-induced changes. And the latest IPCC report on Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/downloads/outreach/IPCC_AR6_WGII_FactSheet_Biodiversity.pdf">is very clear</a>: "threats to species and ecosystems in oceans, coastal regions, and on land, particularly in biodiversity hotspots, present a <b>global risk that will increase with every additional tenth of a degree of warming."</b></p> <p>More frequent, longer and more severe heatwaves, wildfires, droughts and flooding seasons are putting many species of plants and animals in distress and pushing them beyond their tolerance thresholds or ability to adapt. And it's not as 'simple' as, for example, polar bears disappearing – <a href="https://theconversation.com/climate-change-could-alter-ocean-food-chains-leading-to-far-fewer-fish-in-the-sea-93114">ecosystems are interconnected,</a> and the extinction or migration of one single species can have unexpected and unpredictable cascading effects. <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/about/frequently-asked-questions/keyfaq1/">All that affects humans, </a>as the disruption of nature reduces its "ability to provide the essential services that we depend on to survive – such as coastal protection, food supply or climate regulation via carbon uptake and storage."</p> <p><a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/about/frequently-asked-questions/keyfaq2/">About half of the species</a> in the world have already been affected in some way. Animals and plants are already changing their habitats more towards the poles, to higher altitudes, or to deeper ocean waters to run away from extreme weather. Right now, about 12% of the 8 million species of animals and plants on Earth are at risk of extinction and facing a massive, quick and unprecedented decline which is also due to climate change. And studies show that as global heating goes up, those numbers will become worse: with 2°C by 2100, about 18% of all plants and animals that live on land will be at risk of extinction but if the world warms up to 4.5°C, <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg2/about/frequently-asked-questions/keyfaq2/">"about half of all plant and animal species that we have records for will be threatened"</a>. </p> <p>Nature's conservation goes hand in hand with the climate crisis – both suffering its results and being part of the solution for ensuring a livable future for human beings. <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/2022/02/28/pr-wgii-ar6/">Scientists say</a> that “by restoring degraded ecosystems and effectively and equitably conserving 30 to 50 percent of Earth’s land, freshwater and ocean habitats, society can benefit from nature’s capacity to absorb and store carbon.”</p> <p>Climate change is already changing seasons, affecting habitats and shifting climatic zones, pushing species to extinction, and farmers to hardship. <strong>Keeping fossil fuels in the ground is the best way to protect important habitats and livelihoods.</strong></p> </div> </div> <script defer type='text/javascript'> document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function() { const next = (direction) => { if(direction==="next"){ index++; if(index==totalSlides){ index=0; } } else { if(index==0) { index=totalSlides - 1; } else { index --; } } for(i=0;i<slides.length;i++){ slides[i].classList.remove("active"); }; slides[index].classList.add("active"); } let slides=document.querySelector('.slider-items').children; let nextSlide=document.querySelector(".right-slide"); let prevSlide=document.querySelector(".left-slide"); let totalSlides=slides.length; let index=0; nextSlide.addEventListener("focus", function() { next("next"); console.log(e.target); }); prevSlide.onclick = function () { next("prev"); }; console.log({slides: slides, nextSlide: nextSlide, prevSlide: prevSlide, totalSlides: totalSlides, next: next}); }); </script> </div> </div> <div class="section text-html lazy b-lazy bg-white bg-repeat-none bg-image-off bg-attach-scroll bg-size-cover width-wide padding-large none " id="solutions" > <div class="section-inner text-html-inner"> <div class="c10 ct10 cm10 margin-bottom-large "> <h2 class="title4 text-style-title-small"><span class="text-highlight bg-blue">5.
