Fixing climate change is about to accelerate

But not all climate tipping points are negative. In fact there are some that we would REALLY like to hit. And scientists have identified the policies that can get us there. Erratum: In the video I mistakenly claim that EVs in Norway outnumber vehicles powered by fossil fuels - as the source on screen correctly states, they just outnumber *petrol* powered vehicles. They will likely outnumber diesel cars in the next few years.

The good news is: we have either already hit these tipping points or are going to hit them soon with targeted policies that scientists have identified. Watch this video to feel better about climate change and our response to it.
