A new study shows that just a half a degree of global temperature rise markedly increases fire danger on the most widely inhabited continents.

A 2 degree Celsius (3.6 degree-Fahrenheit) temperature rise might not seem very different from a 1.5 degree C (2.7 F) rise. But this half-degree difference is enough to cause a significant increase in the frequency and severity of wildfires. That’s according to an international team of scientists, who announced the results of their new study on March 10, 2021. They referred to the 2015 Paris Agreement, in which, as of February 2021, 191 nations are working to try to limit global temperature rise in this century to 2 degrees C, and, ideally, to 1.5 degrees C, over preindustrial levels.

What is your responsibility when you see injustice being done? For Amos Guiora, this is a deeply personal question stemming from his family’s experiences in one of the greatest atrocities in human history. And now he’s sharing that story.
As he unpacked this question the question of the bystander’s role in stopping injustices he came to a conclusion. Morals and ethics aren’t enough. He thinks there needs to be legal frameworks spelling out our responsibilities to others. When we see something we must do something or suffer the legal consequences.
This central idea has taken Guiora down the path of examining the role of the bystander in many aspects of society, including, most recently, the abuse of student athletes.
