Climate change affects various sectors and demographics. Farmers contend with changing weather patterns, insurers face increased risk, and medical professionals recognize it as a public health crisis. Even children born today face a future marked by sea-level rise and climate-related challenges. Only a 2˚C/3.6˚F increase in global temperature will result in natural disasters, such as droughts, wildfires, glaciers melting, and rising global water levels. What could we do?

We must transition to renewable energy sources, decarbonize infrastructure, and accelerate the adoption of zero-emission technologies. This shift demands collaboration among individuals, governments, businesses, and markets. Financial incentives, policy interventions, and technological advancements are essential to drive this transformation. Altering the climate situation might sound like a great challenge but history shows that collective action and innovation can solve crises.

For instance, in the early 1900s, naturalist John Muir urged President Theodore Roosevelt to protect America's wild lands. This led to the creation of national parks and forests. Despite displacing Native Americans, Roosevelt's actions preserved wilderness for future generations. Similarly, Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal during the Great Depression created jobs and stable mortgages, though African Americans faced discrimination. Today, the U.S. can address economic and climate crises inclusively, using innovative financing like "climate loans" for clean energy.

The next thing is governmental support for purchasing decarbonized equivalents of fossil fuel machines. It can be compared with the US programs after the Great Depression to support their citizens with available mortgages and loans.

The government should also increase the funding for climate and energy technology, which has been at most $3 billion so far. Take World War II; the US government rapidly increased the production of military aircraft, bombers, and different kinds of ships and weapons. For example, the number of military aircraft rocketed more than 150 times in three years. Another example is the space industry, which got an investment of $150 billion in today's money. The time allocated to achieve the aim was ten years. Nowadays, energy and climate technologies achieve 50 times less funding.
