In order to avoid the worst impacts of climate change, the world needs to make a serious "turn-around" over the next three years to restrict planet's pollution. It’s possible to do so, but only with serious, immediate, and following actions across all kinds of society.

The amount of fossil fuel infrastructure that currently exists (or is planned worldwide) is enough to push us into levels of warming that are over the goals set out in the Paris Agreement.
“It’s now or never, if we want to limit global warming to 1.5°C by 2040,” co-chair said in a statement. “Without immediate and deep restrictions across all sectors, the results would effectively be reflected in the planet's natural systems.”

In 2017 one scientist predicted that there would be a "solid 1,000 years." 1,000 years as the deadline for life's existence on Earth does not really sound quite threatening if we start caring asap, do you think so?
BUT
The latest climate report (summer 2021) finds that we have only THREE years left to prevent sped-up warming.
Another research found that we have 22 years left according to overpopulation, high birth rate, lack of natural food resources.

Nature has already started its fighting for life:
~More than 300 people in South Africa were killed as record rainfall washed away buildings.
~A day earlier, dozens were killed in the Philippines after tropical storm Megi spurred landslides and floods.
~New research reveals that ice being lost from glaciers that flow into lakes in the Himalayas has NOT been payed attention properly. This discovery has critical implications for managing critical water resources.
And these are the news from within a year.

It remains for us to lead as much as possible a useful life for the environment and hope that nature will allow us not to die of hunger, unbearable temperatures or thirst.
