With COVID-19, it makes it hard to focus on the incoming future (and present) problem of the climate crisis. It is not ignored, though. There have been warnings about the climate crisis all over the news. It is hard to focus on something like climate change when there is a pandemic going on at the same time.
Though it may be hard, we cannot ignore the climate crisis. It is still a major threat today. It may seem like we are improving, and we are trying. We are still not there yet. Global emissions have increased by 1.7 percent in 2017, 2.8 percent in 2018, and even more in 2019. (Global Carbon Project) We are in trouble, and in big trouble.
