UN's climate change report issued a 'code red for humanity'. Is there anything we can do to fix it?
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change declared a "code red for humanity" in a report released Monday, giving a glimpse of the world's future. And the report's statement on climate change being human-caused may be the most damaging part.
With every part of the globe affected by the actions of humans, seeing the outlook could have us asking ourselves: What can I do about climate change?
The answer? Well, it isn't just recycling.
"The most powerful thing that individuals can do is understand the scale of the problem. Don't buy into easy, comforting solutions," Edward Parson, faculty co-director of the Emmett Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at UCLA, told USA TODAY.
Parson said that while climate change is a result of human actions, steps like turning down thermostats would need the collective effort of the more than 7 billion people on Earth. What he believes needs to be done is to understand that government policy has a lot to do with what happens to the planet's future.
