NASA 's top climate scientist warns that “ 2024 is almost certain” to be the hottest year on record.

The consequences of our choice to continue burning fossil fuels that release heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere go beyond those temperature records.

The upcoming presidential election will be a pivotal point for the U.S. It will determine whether the country will continue with significant climate action.

We know that if we stop emitting greenhouse gases, Earth will stop warming.

We have the technology to forgo fossil fuels, says Texas A&M University climate scientist Andrew Dessler .

The main hurdle is political. That means that the votes we will cast in elections will be among the key choices we will make for that future.
