Climate change and the energy crisis: is solar power really a game changer?

December 23, 2022/ Kelly Pemberton

Solar power is far from being a fad, considering the urgency of the need to mitigate the long-term effects of the climate crisis. We know now that human activity from the mid-twentieth century has been responsible for the rapid pace of the climate change that threatens wildlife and human survival in the long term. Most of this activity can be traced to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Climate change is causing the ocean to warm and become more acidic, ice sheets to retreat, and glaciers to melt in the Arctic regions. By some estimates, rising sea levels will leave some cities completely submerged in the next few decades. The most dire predictions claim that the trend of global warming could be irreversible in just seven years: by 2030.
