Our home is burning. Rapid climate change is destabilizing our world. It seems our emissions will not fall quickly enough to avoid runaway warming and we may soon hit tipping points that will lead to the collapse of ecosystems and our civilization.

While scientists, activists and much of the younger generation urge action, it appears most politicians are not committed to do anything meaningful while the fossil fuel industry still works actively against change. It seems humanity can’t overcome its greed and obsession with short term profit and personal gain to save itself.

And so for many the future looks grim and hopeless. Young people feel particularly anxious and depressed. Instead of looking ahead to a lifetime of opportunity they wonder if they will even have a future or if they should bring kids into this world. It’s an age of doom and hopelessness and giving up seems the only sensible thing to do.

But that’s not true. You are not doomed. Humanity is not doomed.

We have a bunch of new stuff, from the long requested bacteriophage infographic poster to a new Optimistic Nihilism poster that lets you enjoy some existential dread in style. Or join us in our ant obsession and get the new Ant Explorer Notebook, with beautiful infographics and facts about ants and gold lettering on the cover. If you’d rather update your wardrobe, have a look at our beanies or T Shirts. Or you know, all the other stuff!
We put a lot of love and care into developing our products and only make stuff we want to have ourselves – if you want to support kurzgesagt, getting some merch is the best way to do it while receiving something beautiful in return. Thank you for your support and thank you for watching.

The sun. Smooth and round and peaceful. Except when it suddenly vomits radiation and plasma in random directions. These solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs can hit earth and have serious consequences for humanity.

How exactly do they work, how bad could they be and can we prepare for them?
