Ranging from 2050-2500, several parts of the planet will become uninhabitable due to extreme heat and floods if CO2 emissions keep rising.

The 10 warmest years in the historical record have all occurred since 2010. The last time it was hotter than now was at least 125,000 years ago.

Extreme storms, floods, heat waves, droughts, and wildfires threaten us all.

Corals reefs and forests, as well as the many species that thrive in those ecosystems, are in danger. 1 million species of plants and animals are at risk for extinction.

Climate change affects human health too, by promoting the spread of diseases and worsening air quality. Air pollution from fossil fuels kills nearly 9 million people each year, globally.

As climate change threatens our Earth, it becomes harder and harder to stand by and powerlessly hope that things will get better.

I don't want to just "hope" any longer. I want to help make a difference. So I've started a comic project called "Making Charity Money" that gives 100% of it's profits to charity.

The charity I've chosen to donate to is called National Resources Defense Council, or NRDC for short. NRDC uses the expertise of 700 scientists, lawyers, and other environmental specialists to confront the climate crisis, protect the planet's wildlife and habitats, and to ensure the rights of all people to clean air, clean water, and healthy communities. It's no secret that companies produce the vast majority of climate issues, so I like NRDC because they give companies lawsuits. And companies listen to lawsuits. No matter what, dealing with lawsuits will cost them money, bring attention to their bad practices, and hopefully lead to creating better laws for a better future.

In addition to helping the Earth, I also want to help out fellow creators! Using Magma, the same art website that the official Tapas Discord server uses for collaborative artboards, I invite fellow artists to join in and come draw a panel for the project if they'd like to! Every creator who collaborates on the project will get a shoutout to themselves and their series in the episode they helped out on.

Please check out the charity project's Discord server for more details on how to join in and register for drawing a panel! https://discord.gg/DYPBx3WVCy Folks are also welcome to join the server if they just want to hang out, as well. :^)

Finally, in the spirit of giving, and supporting fellow creators, I'll subscribe back to anyone who subscribes to Making Charity Money (Some exceptions may apply). Reaching that 100 subscriber milestone as soon as possible would seriously mean a lot, since that's when ad revenue unlocks and then we can start making charity money!

Thank you for reading. Even just reading could help the Earth!
