Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticizes inaction and indifference on climate change during remarks made at the The C40 World Mayors Summit: “Climate change is a consequence…of our unsustainable way of life.”
With experts warning that the global climate crisis is becoming more and more dire, scientists and environmental activists say they are turning to the public to help effect change before it's too late.
If drastic changes aren't made now, the planet could"blow past" the carbon budget in the next decade, Smerdon said. Many states and other localities have taken matters into their own hands. New York, for instance, passed legislation that would make the state carbon-neutral by 2050 -- the second state behind California to do so.
Just 100 companies worldwide are responsible for 71% of the world's industrial greenhouse gas emissions since 1988, according to a report by the non-profit Carbon Disclosure Project, published in 2017. “We also work to advance environmental sustainability within our business activities and facilities," the statement said."We recognize the complexity of climate change issues and actively engage with a diverse set of stakeholders to understand their views. We firmly believe that balancing environmental and social issues with financial considerations is fundamental to sound risk management.
