A global warming of
3 degrees Celsius
will result in population displacement, uncontrollable sea level rise, devastating and frequent weather events, and endangerment of natural habitats such as the Amazon and animals across the globe -- essentially a dystopian and inhabitable Earth.
Mission Statement
The mission of 3 Degrees is to prevent global warming, an aspect of climate change, before global warming reaches catastrophic levels and poses an unmitigable threat to the Earth and society.
What is Global Warming?
"Global warming is a gradual increase in the earth's temperature generally due to the greenhouse effect caused by increased levels of carbon dioxide, CFCs, and other pollutants", according to BYJU's. In other words, it is the increase in the Earth's general temperature caused by humans rather than nature.
Causes of Global Warming
Burning Fossil Fuels
Burning fossil fuels such as coal and gas releases carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere. When the amount of greenhouse gases rises, the atmospheric temperature could rise abnormally, creating global warming.

A guide in mitigating global warming within your own reach.
From gas to less gas.
From less gas to renewable.
In order to mitigate global warming, we must reduce our carbon dioxide emission footprint. A key aspect 3 Degrees focuses on is revolutionizing energy; energy sources such as natural gas accelerate global warming. #GoElectric is a campaign for people to use less fossil fuels as a source of energy and convert them to electricity; there are many ways to do this, from changing your gas stove to electric to changing your gas vehicle to electric!
