Our planet absorbs too much energy!
Anthropogenic effect on the earth's radiation balance can be measured from space.

Earth's Energy Balance shows a surplus in energy absorption for the Earth.

When pollinators feed themselves, they feed the world.

These hard workers need plants to pollinate and a safe home.

Thirty-five years of efforts like that of Ahmad during a polio campaign in Afghanistan, have brought us to our best chance yet to #EndPolio forever. We must seize this moment and #MakePolioHistory.

Up to 30% of the planet's crop and livestock areas will become unsuitable for food production by the end of the century if global emissions aren't reduced.

We can reverse the damage done to our planet, but it's going to take all of us. 💪🌱🌎

Nearly $7 trillion USD is invested annually in activities harming nature, while investments in Nature-based Solutions total only around $200 billion.

It’s time to flip these numbers.

Manmade #GlobalWarming
The top few meters of the ocean store as much heat as Earth’s entire atmosphere.
The total amount of heat energy stored by the oceans is called Ocean Heat Content.
The energy imbalance of recent years has been staggering.

The University of California has all but dropped carbon offsets-and thinks you should, too
It uncovered systemic problems with offset markets and recommended that the focus on cutting its direct emissions instead.
