My question is that why the auxiliary verb WON'T in the subordinate clause has been changed into didn't rather than wouldn't? The chapters on the alternative futures are short, even shorter than in Dave Goulson’s “silent earth”. Most of this book is on how the Paris agreement came about and what you can do to perpetuate change. Even this is reminiscent of Goulson. Q3. It is mentioned in some resources that when simply giving information of asking for information we use willThis new economic model will need better policies and strong institutions so that the great market forces of investment and entrepreneurialism can work towards regeneration instead of extraction. Finance and investment will play a key role. While we have managed capitalism moderately well over the centuries, with successful institutions such as law, taxation, and charity, we have not yet perfected it. Now is the time to do so. Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac are cohosts of the leading climate change podcast, Outrage + Optimism, and are cofounders of Global Optimism, an organization dedicated to changing narratives and beliefs and inspiring governments, companies, and citizens to protect what they love from the damages of the climate crisis. Figueres is the former executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, where Rivett-Carnac served as her political strategist. They are known for a unique form of collaborative diplomacy, which led to the unanimous signing of the landmark Paris Agreement on climate change by 195 countries. Sequential Crises across the world Join thousands of others in taking up membership of the Earth.Org Movement. Q9 . When a expert of any kind announces a knowledge he has achieved considering his prior knowledge and the evidence he observes – for examples a weather specialist who observes the radars and other data and comes to a conclusion considering his own knowledge- is it will or be going to we should use? Afterall, should we consider his announcement a neutral informing or a prediction of any kind?

Figueres made the statement a day after global leaders from more than 100 national governments gathered for the United Nations’ climate ambition summit to outline new plans to curb global heating and adapt to its effects, in preparation for this fall’s Cop28. In The Future We Choose: Surviving the Climate Crisis, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac proposed three mindsets and ten actions, all applicable to both nations and individuals. I have some confusion over the use of the term 'later' to talk about the future. For example, can I say "I will take the exam 6 months later" to refer to the future? Does it instead refer to the past?See yourself as a citizen first, consumer second. Become a more responsible consumer. (Which is hard to do in an age of materialism and individuality) Similar to the previous question, both will and going to are correct and plausible answers! Without more contextual information, we cannot know for sure which one the speaker intends. The Future We Choose starts off by imagining two scenarios- one in which we do nothing, and one in which we meet the current goals of no greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Some people think that the worst that can happen would be a few glaciers melt and some shorelines recede. The reality would more likely be that large parts of the planet become basically unlivable, with air and water quality declining and erratic weather altering all agriculture as we know it today. Huge migrations of humans and animals would result and the economic and political ramifications are enormous. The rosy picture they present for the carbon-neutral future seems pretty out there, but things like electric cars and trains, giant tree farms, community farms, and smart technology aren't that hard to imagine for the future. A book that shepherds climate activism from changing mental states to changing the world. . . . Th e authors recommend a mindset for climate activism that rests on three attitudes: radical optimism, endless abundance, and radical regeneration.”— Forbes Is it possible to use be going to when simply giving information with no emphasize on other purposes of expression?

In The Future We Choose, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac--who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015--have written a cautionary but optimistic book about the world's changing climate and the fate of humanity.These same things can also be described as intentions ("I'm going to see the doctor tomorrow"; "I'm going to go to New York"), so there's nothing wrong with using "going to". However, an intention does not necessarily involve making an arrangement. Intentions also include things that the person simply desires to do ("I'm going to drive to work today"). Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac - architects of the historic Paris Agreement - do not shy away from the realities of the climate crisis, and they understand that the commitment needed prior engagement in any direct and needed action must be the first thing we need to inculcate and foster. This makes the book more than just the essential facts and figures. It is loaded with optimistic philosophy on the necessary steps (big and small, personal and on a global scale) needed to reach this goal of carbon neutrality. It offers viable solutions and insights on what can and must be done. Sometimes, it is hard to identify that difference not so much when I write but by doing grammar tests.
