Climate Change


It's worse than we thought...

Two thousand researchers are meeting in Copenhagen this week to discuss what has now become quite public -- we are nearing a drastic climate change faster than what researchers/scientists believed only two years ago.

Oceans are warming 50% faster than previously believed, coral reefs are disappearing faster than previously believed, and sea-levels are rising faster than previously believed.

One fact is quickly being accepted by scientists - we are nearing a drastic change in climate much faster. Perhaps even as fast as 20 years.

Start doing your part to help the environment - this isn't just for the movies anymore. It's fast becoming a reality...actually it is reality and it's fast becoming a nightmare that we'll all have to face.

Stop cracking jokes at the UN and support them and pressure your governments to listen and weigh in as the UN sets out to draft a new plan in December, to protect the environment and climate.

This is about us now.

Here's a good article if you want more info: http://www.ens-newswire.com/ens/feb2009/2009-02-23-02.asp

Further - if you haven't already, watch An Inconvenient Truth, by Al Gore. It is by far one of the best documentaries ever made and the most riveting lecture to date. It's a few years old, so when seeing the data, just remember that things are worse now.

The best thing you can do for yourself, your family and your planet, is to inform yourself of what's happening and what's at stake. Educate yourself and educate those around you.
