The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the Synthesis Report for the 6th Assessment, and the message is loud and clear: “Urgent climate action can secure a liveable future for all.” The IPCC has released several reports over the last few years and this report is a summary of all of them to date. Here is summarized version from renowned climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe:

• We must halve global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050
• Every action matters because climate change has already caused significant losses to humans and every aspect of life on earth
• We are not doing nearly enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the faster we act, the more promising it will be for all life who call this planet home
• The good news is that many of the solutions are available today, and they can benefit us in “many ways — addressing health, equity, justice, biodiversity, and even economic concerns while increasing resilience and accelerating the transition to a clean energy future.”

In short, climate change is threatening our planet, our fisheries and our businesses, and unless we decide to take action NOW, we risk losing it all; not only for ourselves, but for our children. We simply love our children, our fisheries and this beautiful planet that we call home too much to sit idly by and wish and hope that politicians will “do the right thing.” That’s why are taking action by measuring and reducing our carbon footprint.

Every ton of CO2 reduced matters. Join us!
