Panelists on Climate Risks WEST 2012
"Earth is at a tipping point. The interaction of climate change, elevated extinction rates, ecosystem loss, environmental contamination, human population growth, and the increasing per-capita human footprint are driving our planet towards abrupt changes never before experienced in human history. How we mitigate and manage these interacting environmental impacts will determine whether or not human quality of life declines over the next few decades. An international group of prominent scientists has now begun work to communicate this message to the political leaders of the world. This is not the first time scientists have alerted decision makers - but now it is done much more forcefully by bringing in much new - and alarming - scientific insight about the environmental changes currently taking place and how this is profoundly affecting humanity." Professor Anthony Barnosky, UC Berkeley, Panel 1 WEST 2013

We want our children to live in an America that isn’t burdened by debt, that isn’t weakened by inequality, that isn’t threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.”
