Italy has been facing record-breaking temperatures in the South and cloudbursts in the North. The skies of New York and North America have turned orange due to a toxic cloud, while millions of people are starving because of an\u00a0unprecedented mega-drought\u00a0in East Africa. They might seem like science fiction scenarios, yet they are not. Our Planet has a fever, and according to the World Health Organization, between 2030 and 2050 the direct and indirect effects of climate change will cause the death of 250,000<strong> more people<\/strong>\u00a0in a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2018\/12\/study-climate-collapse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Global warming<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0is definitely not news. Human activities have been the main responsible for the huge emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of the last century, and in the last few years, the consequences of climate change have become visible. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isac.cnr.it\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Institute of Atmospheric Sciences and Climate of the Italian National Research Council<\/a>, since 1900 there have only been 14 summers with above-average temperatures. 8 of these have been reported in the last twenty years and 6 in the last ten years.

Knowing that we need to find a solution to what\u2019s going on means giving our consent and approval to politicians to make <strong>better choices<\/strong>&nbsp;and not be hesitant about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is certain is that, regardless of political beliefs, governments can do a lot to slow down climate change. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Introducing carbon taxes<\/strong>, because overcharging the most polluting products and services might be helpful for reducing greenhouse emissions.<\/li><li><strong>Encouraging green energy<\/strong>, for example by promoting the installation of photovoltaic panels and wind turbines.<\/li><li><strong>Stimulating public transport<\/strong>&nbsp;and non-polluting mobility, like electric vehicles that are powered by clean energy.<\/li><li><strong>Promoting \u201csoft mobility\u201d<\/strong>, by creating more secure walking and cycling routes, or by installing bike sharing stations.<\/li><li><strong>Developing more green areas and wetlands in big cities<\/strong>, in order to increase biodiversity and store water to use when needed.<\/li><li><strong>Investing in technology<\/strong>, motivating both companies and individuals to use technology to reduce waste of energy and water.<\/li><li><strong>Assisting organizations that are investing in a better future<\/strong> (for example, by investing in organic methods or green energy).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is enormous, and politics should act immediately in order not to be ill-prepared. We must hurry, as bureaucratic times are not compatible with the rhythms of nature, in the most absolute ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Can We Do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img width=\"870\" height=\"490\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Progetto-senza-titolo-11-870x490.png\" alt=\"Sign warning about global warming\" class=\"wp-image-52438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Progetto-senza-titolo-11.png 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Progetto-senza-titolo-11-536x302.png 536w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Progetto-senza-titolo-11-768x433.png 768w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Progetto-senza-titolo-11-570x320.png 570w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/09\/Progetto-senza-titolo-11-344x194.png 344w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><figcaption>Warning sign, picture by Canva Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We can also give our little contribution by making sensible choices which can have important consequences.
