What Happens If We Do Nothing About the Climate Crisis?

A new TED-Ed video, crafted by Shannon Odell and brought to life by director Sofia Pashaei, raises a critical inquiry: What does the future hold if we remain inactive against climate change? The impacts of climate change are not just predictions; they're our current reality. For those paying attention, the evidence is unmistakable in the form of intensifying heat during summers—supported by data—increased instances of drought, and a rising number of forest fires, among other signs. The video poses an important question: "What does the future look like in the next 30 to 80 years if we persist on our present course?" It offers a preview into the potential future that awaits if action is not taken.
