Through greenwashing ads, disinformation campaigns, attacks on scientists, and production of fake scientific evidence, the industry has engaged the playbook of deception to undermine climate action. But rising temperatures aren’t the only factor when we are thinking about climate impacts. What is standing in the way?

Altering cloud properties influences Earth’s climate On sunny days, it’s clear that clouds leave shadows on the landscape.

Cirrus clouds formed this way have many, small ice crystals.

Fossil fuels are the root cause of climate change, of long-standing environmental injustices, and are also frequently connected to geopolitical strife and violent conflicts. According to the IPCC, global emissions must be cut in half by 2030 to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, and IEA research shows it can be done.
