Why are we doing all this?

The planet is in trouble, which means so are we, which means so is football.

Scientists are far better at explaining the causes and negative effects than we are, so we’ve left some links below. But we do know that the effects of climate change are already affecting people’s lives, causing drought, flooding and food shortages.

There’s a problem, but if enough people care just enough to make a tiny change, the collective change will be huge.
