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.

Air Quality
The air around us, has probably been one of the most affected by humans. It's crazy to think how everything we need to survive such as Oxygen we have had so many negative affects on it. For example, climate change has caused temperature and weathers to alarmingly decrease or increase. We have polluted the atmosphere with carbon monoxide, lead, transportation emission, greenhouse gas emission, and that's only to name a few. The point that I am trying to get to is how come the majority of people know that our current actions are harming us and the planet, yet we continue to do it. We know it's not easy to solve this problem, however we also know that we need to start making changes before it's too late and our air quality is ruined to an unimaginable way.
I think this is a really good point about people's attitudes towards climate change. It seems like people hear about it or learn about it and then immediately cast the information that they've acquired aside in favor of ease of access or convenience. Although it's hard to say who knows what, I assume that more developed countries have more knowledge about waste and pollution, yet the developed countries produce easily the most waste. It really does seem like people are educated about this and just don't care, so we need to find a solution to get those people to act on their knowledge and live more sustainably.
