## Resource

The UN just delivered a sobering message: we’ve missed the window to avoid the worst of climate change, and global temperatures are now set to exceed the 1.5°C Paris target. With extreme weather, rising seas, and mass species loss looming, scientists are pivoting to a new strategy — not just slowing warming but actively cooling the planet by ending fossil fuels and deploying carbon removal tech. While planting trees is part of the solution, experts question whether these technologies can deliver on their promises. The poorest communities will bear the brunt of this hotter, more dangerous world — with deadly heatwaves, food and water shortages, and even uninhabitable regions. It’s a grim reality, but also a rallying cry: every fraction of a degree matters, and now we must act to limit the damage before it’s too late.
