The science is now clear and consistent. Earth is warming faster than anybody had predicted only a few years ago and our planet’s ability to support us with a reasonable quality of life is at great risk. It is our children and their children who will most impacted. It is our responsibility to continue and accelerate the restoration.
Efficient lives will help. Mass utilization of alternative forms of Energy will help more. Overarching actions such as reining in US and global population and consumption growth will help the most over the long term. Only local political action can make all this happen. Think globally, act locally.
October 24, 2009 will be a day for citizens around the world to show support for a strong climate treaty to be agreed to at the United Nations talks in Copenhagen in December.
