We have a real opportunity in 2021
Our team is working relentlessly to make climate action a top priority. To say that 2020 has been a difficult year is would be a grand understatement. But we know our planet can’t wait for things to get back to normal. What did that mean for the planet? For starters, Death Valley, California, reached 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54.4C) in what could be the highest temperature ever reliably recorded on Earth. In June, the temperature in the small Siberian town of Verkhoyansk – usually one of the coldest places on Earth the planet – soared to 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit, breaking an all-time record for the Arctic.
