As you are about the see the effects of climate change are already being felt to a large degree in Australia. In fact this years mean temperature is the highest ever recorded! These droughts will cause increased risk of wildfires and will cause major problems for farmers in Australia...
It is videos like this that are very disturbing to watch... it seems like just last year all we were hearing about here in the states was all the coming effects of climate change and the horrible things that could happen down the road. Well guess what these things are already happening and if major action isn't taken soon things are only going to get worse...

Climate Change In The Arctic
Some people might not understand that the arctic is actually warming twice as faster as most other areas on the planet. So while you might not be feeling the effects of climate change in your area it is only a matter of time. This footage provided by the BBC shows an amazing 10 mile long ice block that just split off of the main arctic ice pack... the most significant change to the arctic for decades!
What do you think is this just a cycle of nature?

Record Heat In The United States
While floods ravage Texas much of Arizona, Nevada and many other places across The United State are breaking heat records. Droughts bring the threats of wildfires to many areas and it is only July!
This is just another snowballing effect of climate change. The more heat the more people will blast there air conditioners and use more energy. What is your solution to this growing problem?
You can read more about this heat wave here and here!

Is God Going To Save Us From Climate Change?
Well, I think not... in fact personally I think if he/she/it saw us messing up the planet the way that we are, why would he/she/it even care what happens to the human race? They gave us this beautiful planet and we have done nothing but plunder it's resources since the industrial revolution... Sure our grandparents and parents got us into this mess, but it is up to our generation to come up with real solutions to these global problems....
The video below is an interesting look at what the Evangelical Christian think about climate change... I think it is actually quite funny that there are still some people out there that believe this is some kind of political conspiracy. Why would there be some massive GLOBAL conspiracy? Pull your head out of the sand and do a little scientific research!
This is not just an issue in the USA it is happening all over the world and people are talking about it all over the world! These people are not republicans and democrats, they are simply humans that give a damn about our future generations!
Find out why some of us are so ignorant to the facts here or you can find out why the American government is a big part of the problem here!

The Impacts Of Climate Change In Our World
This video shows some of the changes that are already starting to happen in places like Africa, Asia and The Western United States. It would appear that drastic steps need to be taken to try and curb climate change or we could face some nasty consequences. The effects are being felt all over the world and things are only going to get worse if nothing is done...
This next clip shows us the beautiful O'Higgins Glacier in Chile, it is one of the faster retreating glaciers in the world! I think a lot of people aren't taking into consideration the fact that many countries throughout the world get much of their drinking water from glacier runoffs. This will bring up a huge problem as studies have shown that a whopping 90% of the world's glaciers are retreating!

Betting On Our Childrens Future With A Bad Hand
What do you think causes Climate Change AKA Global Warming? Whether you think it is partially caused by humans like most scientists, or if you just believe that it is a natural cycle of the sun, our climate is changing, and we need to prepare for the consequences now.
If temperatures continue to rise polar ice caps and glaciers around the world will continue to melt and sea levels will rise. This will drive people and even entire cities to higher ground and cause wide spread famine and disease throughout the world as farmland and crops disappear as well. Many species will become extinct as they cannot adapt quickly enough to the rapid changes, drought and forest fires will increase and storms will strengthen as our oceans warm along with the overall temperatures. These things will happen if this trend in temperature continues... so whether or not you believe in Global Warming don't you think you should still be concerned about our future generations?
Want more? Check out how our government lies right to our face... and again here! Demand change from our federal government! Certain states like California are leading the charge, but it is up to us as individuals to make enough noise...
For more about the changes happening on our planet right now check out these facts or this bit of news.

Can We Afford To Take The Chance?
It is strange to see so many people still trying to debunk climate change. I mean even if it isn't 100% cause by man shouldn't we still be concerned. Our planet is warming, and that is a fact that no one disputes. There have been more droughts and wildfires... storms have been increasing in intensity, the worlds sea levels will rise if Greenland, the polar ice caps and other glaciers around the world melt. These are the facts, and whether or not it is completely caused by humans should not be what we are focusing on here... we need to begin to develop solutions and fast, I guess I just don't know why this debate is being clouded so much, I mean it really sounds like something everyone should take seriously for our future generations... Watch the next video and you will begin to see some of the major problems that are arising in our ecosystem due to climate change.
For more you can check out this post on polar bears from back in April 2006 or you can see some of our already endagered species here.

Demand Change From Our Government
With the recent release of the climate report stating that "global warming" is in fact happening and humans are the cause, it is very good to see all of the press that "climate change" is now finally receiving, but will this last? We need to make sure that United States government actually does something about it... It is no secret that we are the #1 producer of greenhouse gases and have the worst environmental policies when it comes to fuel efficiencies standards. We have a President who is an "oil man" himself, and has been caught misleading the American public about climate change... so really what can we do? It is actually quite simple, demand change from our government and do your part... you would be amazed at the power of the people!

Top Ten Global Warming Stories Of 2006
Great piece from the weather channel showing the top stories of 2006 from rising gas prices to increasing envolvment of religous groups to the white house censoring climate information.
Just imagine if we would have had a hurricane or two come thru the gulf coast again what gas prices would have been like $5 a gallon? $6 a gallon? Remember even though we did not have any hurricane come our way in the USA we did have a record number of tornados!
Yet it just seems like piece after piece like this comes out and still nothing is really done here in the USA... sad really.
If you still need more proof check out the effect of climate change in these places... Patagonia, Greenland, Mount Kilimanjaro, the Amazon, even here in America!
