The 2015
Paris Climate Change Conference is starting November 30th, and Jack
Black wants you to know that it isn’t about him. It isn’t about cute
animal videos, it isn’t about the pope or saving one tree.
It’s about saving all the trees. It’s about saving the one and only Earth we have.
Since the inception of The United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change (UNFCCC) 21 years ago, countries from around the
world have been meeting to discuss one of the biggest dangers humanity
has ever faced: Climate Change.
Every year they come together and try to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower pollution and work on green energy.
But this year is critical because we need climate action
now, and the Paris climate change conference is a can’t miss opportunity
for the world to reach a new climate change agreement that launches
bigger action.
Our situation is becoming dire. Action needs to happen now. No more dawdling.
Nine out of ten of the warmest years on record have occurred since 2000, and atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are the highest that they’ve been in over 800,000 years.
“This
is the turning point,” the video says. “Never before have we had a
moment like this. With the awareness, the will and the technology to
fight it.”
#EarthToParis
is about all of us. Everyone we love, everyone we care about, they’re
all affected by global warming. #EarthToParis is more than a hashtag,
it’s a movement. It’s about showing the world that we won’t stand idly
by as our world is ruined. It’s about telling our leaders to make bold
commitments to combat climate change.
