"Things are pretty dire right now. Giant swaths of my country are
burning as I write this, at a scale unlike anything we've ever seen.
Countless animals, including koalas, are perishing along with our
life-supporting greenery. People are losing homes and loved ones.
These catastrophes are being replicated around the globe ever more
frequently, and we know exactly what is exacerbating them. We know we
need to rapidly make some drastic changes - and Stanford researchers
have come up with a plan.
Using the latest data available, they have outlined how 143 countries
around the world can switch to 100 percent clean energy by the year 2050.
This plan could not only contribute towards stabilising our dangerously
increasing global temperatures, but also reduce the 7 million deaths
caused by pollution every year and create millions more jobs than
keeping our current systems.
The plan would require a hefty investment of around US$73 trillion. But
the researchers' calculations show the jobs and savings it would earn
would pay this back in as little as seven years."
Let's make it happen.
