I don’t know about you guys, but ever since I learned about Climate Change and Global Warming, I have been hyper aware of climate disasters and have wondered, is it all connected? To me it seems very odd that some of the world’s deadliest and extreme disasters have all happened in the last five years, the precise time when we have been called to action to help bring the carbon measurements in the atmosphere down. Anyways, I have to admit I am not very well educated on the subject of climate change but what I can also admit is that I am a strong believer in the concept of: If we can do something to help the state of our beautiful earth in the future, why not do it? I was inspired to write this post after reading this article on 350.org, which is a great website trying to mobilize people with regards to climate change and world-wide environmental degradation. The article doesn’t offer us a lot of concrete science but of course it gets us to think… and really wonder, where is our world headed, and what can we do about it? I attended the COP15 conference on Environment last December in Copenhagen, Denmark. I was there to show my solidarity, to lend my voice for those around the world that couldn’t; for the families in Sri Lanka- a country that is threatened to be nearly wiped off of our planet in the next few years if sea levels continue to rise, among others.
This is a picture of our sign at COP15:
I truly believe in this sign! We don’t have a plan b or an option b. We have to be stewards to the environment and this earth now, before it’s too late… if it’s not already. What do you think?

Of course it is all connected. Climate disasters are concrete evidence that the earths climate changes, however they are not evidence that co2 is the cause. Cheers.
