The Guardian Puts Climate Change "Front and Center"

Why? is explained HERE.

Followed by an excellent article extracted from Naomi Klein's new book, This Changes Everything.

To me the main issue is not: Are we facing a crisis? The main issue is how to deal with the greed and self interests that keep the fossil fuel industry continuing to extract and sell fossil fuels. Add to that  the fossil fuel market created by developing nations trying to grow their economies and standard of living into ones comparable to developed nations.......  and the Earth has a HUGE problem.

Killer Whales (Orcas), Climate Change, and Politics

Yes there is a link between the three. First, in case you have not seen the video of Orcas trapped by ice in the Hudson Bay, managing to breathe from a relatively small hole in the ice, I believe you will find it amazing.

Scientists involved propose that the event may have been brought on by climate change. Okay, that may seem like a stretch to say for any one event, but the logic is as reasonable as blaming an increase in severe storms on climate change, as has been repeatedly done in the past few years. 

So where does politics enter in? It enters with the Orcas cooperative behavior. Fortunately for them, there was not a Democrat or Republican amongst them. From the observers:
“It’s amazing to see how they managed to find a strategy to share that little space and organize who’s going to breathe and when, because they all needed to breathe every five minutes and they found the strategy for the survival of the group and not the survival of the strongest.”

Lets work together on climate change

I apologize for my month long silence. I have been away visiting family. Good news is, all is well.

Now back and as I get caught up on climate change, the most significant of what I have read is about working together. Be sure to watch the video. The principals are so elementary.

More soon.
