Seeing things as they are.

This illustrated lecture from Professor Kevin Anderson at the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research is an excellent summary of the status of the ballooning climate change disaster. It's scary but essential to clearly understand what is happening and what we can do about it.

What this blog is about

This blog is a vehicle for communicating my thoughts on the environmental crisis confronting us and our shift to a clean green future. It is also a means for spreading the word on community actions and information sources supporting this shift.

The science monitoring the atmospheric changes in train and their climatic and environmental impact is increasingly dire. The measures required to avoid runaway global warming are increasingly stringent and the time frame for undertaking these measures becomes tighter and tighter. The political and economic forces opposing necessary change are powerful, determined and deeply embedded.

The possibility of cultural change may be slight but we either do what we can to promote the necessary changes or become complicit with our unheeding politicians and the blind self interest of the industry lobbyists in the extreme degradation-of, perhaps the destruction of our collective future.There is hope. As Margaret Mead said "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
