Democracy has been referred to as the Great Experiment. As it teeters from the threat of Trump and \u201crighteous\u201d Christian Fascism, we must not forget that climate change is also an experiment that can topple democracy. Frighteningly, the two could easily work hand in hand as the realities of global warming create ever-increasing disasters from droughts and floods, force migration, create shortages, and drive systemic inflation. These conditions unchecked can lead to social unrest, military law, resource wars and dictatorship.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Paris Agreement under heat<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 2015, the\u00a0United Nations Climate Change Conference<\/a>, COP 21 was held in Paris. Because of indisputable evidence of global warming from ice core sampling, ocean probes and satellite data,\u00a0196 nations<\/a>\u00a0signed a\u00a0legally binding international treaty on climate change<\/strong>. That treaty went into effect in 2016 with the agreement to limit global warming to 1.5\u00b0C. To achieve that goal, greenhouse gas emissions\u00a0must<\/strong>\u00a0decline 43 percent by 2030.<\/p>\n
