Why reduce carbon emissions?

We all need to drastic­ally reduce car­bon emis­sions from our every­day activ­it­ies if we are to stop irre­vers­ible run­away cli­mate change. The world’s cli­mate is already chan­ging as a res­ult of human activ­ity and this will only get worse unless we make changes and save energy.
