Threats Are Becoming More Severe

John Scales Avery

There is clear evidence that climate-related threats are becoming more severe.

One can think of the record-breaking heat waves in Europe and the Americas as well as in China. One can think of drought and falling water tables, which are threatening agriculture in very many countries.

And one can also think of the poles, which are warming four times faster than the remainder of the world.

There is a danger that coastal cities everywhere will soon be flooded because of rapidly melting polar ice, as is discussed in my book, “Warnings from the Poles.”

What are we to do? What actions can we take to avoid a climate catastrophe? Below is a list of helpful actions that can and should be taken.
