Energy and Climate Change

Humanity is at a historical crossroads. Scientists warn that if the global temperature exceeds 2 ° C the consequences will be catastrophic. If we cross this threshold, the economic, social, political, cultural and environmental impacts will seriously harm all regions of the world.
Consequences and impacts

* Melting of glaciers and other permanent ice masses throughout the planet (a situation that puts at risk the most important reserves of fresh water in the world and that will cause sea level rise)

* Increase in heat waves, floods and droughts

* Expansion of diseases

* Collapse of numerous ecosystems such as moors, which play a vital role in regulating the water cycle

Man-made climate change is directly related to the transformation that emerged from the industrial revolution. The emergence of new energy sources based on the burning of fossil fuels and the growth of urban areas.
