15,000 Scientists Issue ‘Warning to Humanity’
15000名科学家发布“人类警告”
Over 15,000 scientists have signed a letter to humanity that warns of catastrophic consequences for the earth, including vast human misery for our rapidly growing population. This is a follow-up letter to an original warning that 1,700 scientists issued exactly 25 years ago. Every threat to the earth has worsened since the original letter except the hole in the ozone layer which has improved. The letter warns that it will soon be too late to prevent mass extinction, dead zones in the ocean, and a lack of fresh food and water. In addition to the warning, the letter offers suggestions for preventing this fate, including phasing out the investment and use of fossil fuels and eating more plant-based foods.
