Earth’s fragile atmosphere
During the day, our blue sky, our air, seems to be thousands of miles high.
It isn’t.
This thin blue atmosphere is 60 miles thick.
Where would 60 miles on land take you?
Earth’s sensitive global warming system
Is the greenhouse gas effect working?
Earth in 2020
Atmospheric pollution
There's too much carbon dioxide gas (CO2).
Today, humans get 80 percent of the world's energy from fossil fuels.
CO2 is trapping too much heat
Water cycle (hydrological) disruption
In the extreme . . . downpours
All across the world . . .

Carbon cycle disruption
In the extreme . . . fires
Today, the “fire season” in the western US is more than 100 days longer than in the 1970s.

Must we change?
We have the solutions at hand
Will we change?
Can we change?
We will.
Your world depends on it.
