Heating Up the Conversation on Climate Change

You're living in a world that's warming up fast, and it's not just about hotter summers or melting ice caps. The real heat comes from the debate on how to handle this crisis. Imagine one-third of all people having to leave their homes because of climate change. That's not just a number; it could be people you know, places you've visited.
