The Poor Get The Shaft... Again

A report released just the other day reports that the poor people of the world are the most ill equip to handle the effects of climate change. So let me get this straight, while the poor people of the world are the ones who emit the least greenhouse gases, they are the ones who will be potentially destroyed by the coming effects of climate change. So while the richest countries of the world sit on their hands and watch rising greenhouse levels things are only going to get worse for these poor people around the world that can really do nothing to stop climate change... A sad world we live in indeed.



For those of you who missed it Australia just signed the Kyoto protocol leaving The United States as the only country left that hasn't yet sign-up. And I quote...

"The challenges of climate change are big, and serious. The next step is to reach agreement in Bali on a negotiating roadmap for a new post-2012 framework. We look forward to continuing to work together constructively with Australia, as we have in APEC, the Asia Pacific Partnership, and the Major Economies process," said Kristen Hellmer with the White House Council on Environmental Quality.

WTF? Why are we concentrating on post 2012? We need to be concentrating on right now... this is just typical BS from this administration who has failed us at every environmental turn...

Greenland Is Turning Green

Something when you hear it from the horses mouth things become a little more clear. These fellow Greenlanders have been witnessing the accelerating effects of climate change and how it is altering the landscape in Greenland dramatically. New studies have found that Greenland is melting much faster than previously thought and as this video shows the effects are quite obvious...

Blog Action Day Arrives

Just in case you haven't heard yet, today is Blog Action Day. This day was designed to spread the word about climate change and it's devastating effects. If you would like to participate click here to visit their website.

If you have been following this blog you know that there is already overwhelming evidence that climate change is being caused by humans, yet no real action is taken here in the states on a federal level. I only hope that our next president will have a little more going on upstairs instead of change jiggling in his pocket from his oil company kickbacks...

With more and more people getting behind this movement maybe we can actually make a change before George W. Bush is out of office, but the way our government moves like a snail I kinda doubt anything will be done... sad really, but who know maybe I will be pleasantly surprised and our planet won't be doomed, but as more and more time passes I fear we have already passed the tipping point.

Climate Change In Australia

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...

The Effects Of Climate Change In Siberia

This video from Russia Today discusses some of the effect that are already being felt in Siberia. As some of you might know the permafrost that is under the ground in places like Siberia is actually melting! Unfortunately this will act as a snowball effect, as the permafrost melts, not only is it destabilizing all the land around it, it is also releasing methane and other greenhouse gases that have been trapped in the ground.
