Introduction: Climate Change and our Future

Graciela Chichilnisky and Peter Bal

Chapter 1 in Reversing Climate Change:How Carbon Removals can Resolve Climate Change and Fix the Economy, 2020, pp 1-9 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: I am drinking and eating my way through pastures, trees, minerals, rivers, oceans, and other species. I am polluting and changing the planet’s atmosphere and its oceans, and destroying the myriad species that comprise life on earth. In doing so, I am endangering my own life support systems, as I need air, water, and food to survive. Although I am capable of creating innovative ideas, and though technologies and solutions are available and known, I continue to participate in the destruction of our planetary systems, the Garden of Eden. I know the time has come to do something and declare that I shall do what it takes. This is the point of no return. May my actions help create a livable world for everyone.
