As identified by @AP @borenbears:
Earth is on the way to an additional 3.5 degrees warming from now (1.9 degrees Celsius), far more than the agreed upon goals in the Paris accord.
About 9 million people a year die from pollution.

About 1 million of Earth’s 8 million species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction. Up to 400 million tons of heavy metals, toxic sludge and other industrial waste are dumped into the world’s waters every year. https://apnews.com/article/un-climate-change-environment-crisis-df5f89784ec92aaf8a855f88bdd753c9?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral
More than 3 billion people are affected by land degradation, and only 15% of Earth’s wetlands remain intact. About 60% of fish stocks are fished at the maximum levels. Marine plastics pollution has increased tenfold since 1980. https://apnews.com/article/un-climate-change-environment-crisis-df5f89784ec92aaf8a855f88bdd753c9?utm_source=ground.news&utm_medium=referral
Bottom line: moving forward we all need to be climate warriors. It's up to us to "Make Peace with Mother Nature". https://www.unep.org/resources/making-peace-nature
