“There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits
than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our
responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and
cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”

Emissions of greenhouse gases, called so because they trap the Sun's
heat in the Earth's atmosphere (like in a greenhouse), caused by human
activity have caused the warming of the Earth. This global warming
causes extreme weather events, rising sea levels caused by the melting
of glaciers, and coral bleaching to name some.
But do not be frightened. Individuals have the power to change their
carbon-guzzling lifestyle and pull back the Earth from the tipping
point.
