Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

Authors: DDT , lead paint, sulfur dioxide and acid rain are examples of health and environmental threats that humanity has overcome.

They say the main cause of climate change carbon dioxide from the burning of fossil fuels is really just another pollutant.

Authors: In each case, public outcry eventually led to policy changes, despite pushback from industry.

The fossil fuel industry began using its political power and misinformation campaigns decades ago to block regulations designed to slow climate change.

The challenge has been getting politicians to act, but that is slowly changing in many countries.

The United States has started investing in scaling up several tools to rein in climate change, including electric vehicles, wind turbines and solar panels.
