Dr. Jennifer Francis explains that for thousands of years, Earth’s temperature was mostly stable due to natural causes, but in the past century, human actions like burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests have caused a sharp rise in temperatures. Ice core data proves this rapid change, and while world leaders agreed in the Paris Accord to try to limit warming to below 2°C, most countries aren’t doing enough, and some places—like the Arctic—have already passed that limit.\n
