"The latest scientific assessment has almost doubled the predicted rate of warming if no changes are made"

This quote by Donella Meadows is referring to the current clinical evaluation of the rate of worldwide warming. The evaluation has concluded that if no modifications are made to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases being released into the environment, the rate of worldwide warming will almost double. This implies that the Earth will warm up at a much faster rate than previously forecasted, resulting in more extreme weather condition events, increasing sea levels, and other disastrous results. It is clear that urgent action needs to be taken to reduce emissions and alleviate the effects of environment change. We should all work together to lower our carbon footprint and make the needed modifications to protect our planet.
