DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/xr-talk-northeaster
 n/\n\nWe are in the midst of an unprecedented climate crisis and ecologica
 l breakdown that threatens the continuation of life as we know it. Burning
  fossil fuels has led to the highest atmospheric carbon levels in human hi
 story\; global temperature rises are destroying entire ecosystems\; toxic 
 microplastics have contaminated oceans and propagated up the food chain th
 rough plankton\; deforestation has led to habitat loss and extinction of t
 housands of species... We are witnessing and enacting an annihilation of t
 he natural world that sustains us\, before the eyes of governments that no
 t only fail to act\, but that incentivize this self-destructing behavior. 
 Some renowned climate scientists predict irreversible damage within one de
 cade\, a point of no return after which even a sudden discontinuation of g
 reenhouse gas emissions would not prevent a cascading global environmental
  collapse.\n\nPlease join us for a discussion on the climate and ecologica
 l emergency. We will talk about carbon emissions\, temperature and sea lev
 el rise\, climate feedback loops\, water pollution\, institutionalized den
 ialism\, fossil fuel industry lobbying\, and environmental activism. You w
 ill learn how you can be part of a global movement of social transformatio
 n for a livable future for your generation and generations to come.
