The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Reduce our Flying
A big contributer to the carbon footprint is flying. Alot of people have to fly for there job but sometimes people fly really far sometimes out of country. They dont realize how much Co2 that releases.
I agree that a big contributor to our carbon footprint is flying however not everyone has the accessibility to a different type of transportation to get where they want to go, and depending on the place, taking a different type of transport,for example a car it could produce more carbon than taking a flight.
