Today, a report by the Geneva-based Global Humanitarian Forum (GHF) says climate change “seriously affects 325 million people every year, a number that will more than double in 20 years to 10 percent of the world’s population (now about 6.7 billion).”

According to the report, economic losses due to climate change will reach $340 billion each year by 2030.

If it’s all connected, and we’re all affected, I think Cherry is correct about the importance of turning off the lights.
