Earth by 2035:
No summer Arctic sea ice
Unprecedented crop failures
Bee and butterfly extinctions
Last phase of coral reefs' collapse
Forests at final fragmentation stage
Megacities becoming uninhabitable
100s of millions of climate refugees
We can cultivate a culture of care.

'the Arctic could be ice-free in the decade 2030–2040, with the year 2034 as the most likely'
However, satellite observations suggest that Arctic sea ice depletion is accelerating, while climate model projections show a linear rate of decline.

Risks of simultaneous crop failure increase disproportionately between 1.5 and 2°C of global temperature rise, so surpassing the 1.5°C threshold will represent a threat to global food security.

'of the 1,437 native bee species for which there was sufficient data to evaluate, about 749 of them were declining. Some 347 of the species, which play a vital role in plant pollination, are imperiled and at risk of extinction'

There are currently 26 million climate refugees.
Extreme weather, sea level rise, desertification, and other climate related factors will displace 100s of millions in the coming decades.
'By 2060, about 1.4 billion people could be climate change refugees'news.cornell.edu/stories/2017/0…
