BLOG ACTION DAY

It's the day in the year where bloggers worldwide unite to spread word on a single topic and this year it's Climate Change.

As we approach the COP 15 conference in Copenhagen in Dec, we hear the last few voices of protest (some coming from our little spot on the planet) saying that they will act to delay any agreement that doesn't compensate them for the financial losses or decreasing oil production.

We cannot help but wonder what they will think when the more reasonable and ethical 'reparations' requests come knocking at their door; from the island nations that are disappearing, the countries being flooded, the 70% of the world to be affected by drought, the ice caps that are disappearing, the acidified waters, the increased health problems... All as a consequence of the runaway fossil fuel production and the refusal to implement solutions.

Clean, innovative, cooperative and renewable solutions to climate and the economy are not a loss proposal. It's a chance to renew and revitalize and recommit to a better world. There is no more room for the delayers and the self-centered among us to deny the rest of the world a solution to climate change.

For more on how big money has helped sink the planet read the new book: The Climate Cover-Up

To read an amazing account of the path to Kyoto and attempts to derail a climate treaty throughout the 90's read The Carbon War

You can watch climate change happening at Google Earth

You can get to know the IPPC who collect all the research and science done on climate change, study it, review it and then let us know what to expect. They won the 2007 Nobel peace prize and even their estimates have underestimated the speed and intensity of climate change consequences already happening.

Join 350.org, no more stalling, no more cover-ups there is no more time.
