President Dennisty orders emergency meeting with global leaders

President of United States, Dennisty, has ordered an emergency meeting with global environmental leaders and high governmental officials. Past efforts to lower carbon emissions have failed because of poor budget and the decade long economic collapse. Increasing temperatures caused massive droughts in the 2060's and wildfires all over the nation. It wasn't just North America that suffered wildfires, but Australia lost almost of 80% of their rural housing to devastating fires. Heat waves stretched across the world, killing millions of civilians who could not afford to find a cool cover from the record setting temperatures.
All of this devastation caused a global economic collapse sending many nations into bankruptcy. Upper middle class life now felt almost like poverty. Shipments of food and water were halted for days at a time and thousands of people were starving.
Eventually the economy somewhat stabilized, and now the number one priority is to revert the climate to what it was a century ago.
Is this possible? Only time will tell.

New housing for the 1%

Lilly pad housing is the new thing in.
Designed to have zero emission and self-sufficient this is the new style of housing for the future generations. Efficient cars alone will not solve current climate problem, but we need to change the way we live.

Now this sounds all exciting, but don't expect to move into these new condos in the ocean tomorrow...unless you are in the top 1%. Leases start from $60,000 a month.

How much change will really be seen with this new style of housing when only the top 1% can afford such a ridiculous price range?

Energy efficient!

Air Energy has revealed their newest prototype for an energy efficient car that is self sufficient! Yes, you heard it right, the car is self sufficient and has zero emissions.
With strict CO2 emission regulations put in my 80% of countries, this might be the best and latest solution to the climate change.

Air Energy plans to introduce the automobile to the the worldwide market by 2086.

2083

The following is a letter found in an abandoned cabin in Northern Michigan:

The year is 2083, and everything we have known has changed. The temperature kept rising and rising and it kept getting hotter and hotter. Each day I was covered in more and more sweat.

At first it seemed like a God send miracle. The winters were shorter and less harsh and there was more time for growing my crops and harvesting. My gardens were lush and full of vegetables and fruit that were never native to this area.  That soon all changed. The droughts came and the soils were ruined. Constant changes in the weather caused the earth beneath to erode and nothing grew. Tick and parasites covered everything. Not an single animal was safe from these ticks. They loved all this warm weather and feasted in it. These tick carried all sorts of diseases they brought up from the south.

The fish could not handle the warm waters. They all floated up to the top and their corpses stretched out to the horizons. Everything changed.

This is not the place that I once knew.
