For decades, climate experts have warned of the dire consequences of failing to lower planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions that come from burning fossil fuels from deadly heat waves to droughts to severe floods. These climate change–fueled disasters can sound like biblical plagues, but the quicker the economy transitions to a clean energy economy, scientists agree that more frequent and even worse disasters will be avoided.
