Climate scientists have predicted dire consequences by 2050 if no action is taken. By then, Edinburgh’s Adam Ballard will be 44 years old.
“If you’re 16 like me, you hear politicians and scientists talk all the time about what the world will look like in 2050 if we don’t do anything. 2050 will be a big part of my life, and people my age will be bearing the brunt of the decisions made today when we’re in our 40s and 50s,” Ballard said.
“This past summer was one of the hottest on record but it is scary to think it may be one of the coldest summers I’ll ever experience.”
