TICK TOCK

When we see disasters like droughts and hurricanes in the news, we attribute them to natural causes. But these are a result of a man made problem: climate change. If we continue to fail to take action, these phenomena will multiply and intensify.

Since the time of the Industrial Revolution, the burning of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal has increased exponentially, as well as deforestation and soil degradation.
This has led to an increase in greenhouse gas emissions and, as a result, global warming was triggered.

WHY ARE WE HEATING UP THE PLANET?
Scientists confirm that the average global temperature of the planet has increased by approximately one degree Celsius.

It is urgent to reflect on our dependence on fossil fuels, but above all we want to motivate you to learn about the solutions that exist already.

Climate change is a consequence of global warming. The one-degree increase in the planet's global temperature is unprecedented in the history of humanity, so we have to take unprecedented action across all of society.

We need to understand the consequences and causes of climate change and reflect on our unhealthy dependency on fossil fuels. We have to learn about the solutions that exist and how to apply them. We need to take action at an individual level in order to make a change.

The museum addresses the destructive capacity of human beings and a clear example is climate change, with which we are destroying the only home we have, our planet.

Climate change is already triggering greater violent, ethnic and social conflicts, even to the point of genocide over the scarcity of water, food and the search for new territories to live in.

We are intrinsically linked to fossil fuels: we depend on oil, natural gas and coal to carry out our daily activities.

We forget that our food consumption, its waste, the clothes we wear, the way we transport ourselves and build our cities, all have an impact on our planet.

The production and consumption of goods and services in our society has to change and it is a shared responsibility.

The present economic model of "extraction, production and waste" is no longer feasible, it has reached its limit.On the other hand, the new circular economy model seeks to optimize the materials that have been extracted, to lengthen the life of products and to reuse all waste instead of discarding it.

The solutions already exist. The problem is that they are not commensurate with the political, economic and moral will to carry them out.

The main solutions focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, for example, by switching to renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power for electricity generation.

This crisis affects us all and to face it, action is needed from each and every one of us.
