Statement
“We have built a civilization based on a world that doesn’t exist anymore,” says Katharine Hayhoe, a climate scientist at Texas Tech University and chief scientist at The Nature Conservancy.
The more severe climate change becomes, the more connected we will become to nature, and one day a group of people will be the first to become "superbody".
