With global warming, we face a similar crisis of success; like all previous crises, it will require a transformative way of living, and the institutions and values necessary to support it.

Both spheres may be somewhat warmer than Kepler's two previous premier rocky worlds, Kepler 186 f and Kepler 62 f, each of which gets significantly less starlight — similar to that received by Mars.

But a previous round in the 1980s - before global warming was an issue - attracted similar sums, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.

CO2 then accumulated to four times today's levels, creating long - lived warming and inducing feedbacks similar to those discussed in previous chapters: expanding deserts and stratifying oceans which reduced CO2 uptake further.

The result is similar to previous studies: 97 - 98 % of the scientists agree that there is ample evidence that human activity is warming the planet.
