What did you do for you Global Day of Action against Climate Change? Around the world today, peaceful protests took place to express the need for action to be taken and a larger effort to be made to reduce global warming and climate change, now! Provided in the links below is a collection of my favorite news stories on the events of today from around the world.

In honor of this day, I wanted to repost an article I wrote a couple years ago discussing the “distractions that blind us” from smartly managing climate change and global warming. In light of the fact it was written in 2007, some humor may be slightly out dated but the idea is still pertinent. Seeing and dealing with such important issues as our planets future should be forefront of the entire worlds concerns, not this silly fight that keeps going in circles- this circus act put on for the public. At this time, we need to stop fighting a war that will never be won, stop worrying about who has more oil and gold and step back for a moment to see what has really been going on here! For more of my thoughts on this matter please follow one of the two links provided. This article was first published in November of 2007 at Helium.com and at Okanagan Wildlife and Nature during the spring of ’09.

In closing, it is wonderful to see that for one day, the world can unite with such purpose. May we hope and pray to what ever god we believe in, that today will create change and let us turn over a new leaf for this planet, if it is not already too late…

Live gently and tread lightly,

"...peaceful protests took place to express the need for action to be taken and a larger effort to be made to reduce global warming and climate change, now!"

Could you maybe talk to some of those folks into taking some action towards sending some of that there global warming our way? Been a mite cool, it has. Summer was below normal, had some record cold temps, and now fall is more of the same. Some of us folks around here have had record snow amounts, and more record cold temps. A little global warming would feel real good on these cold mornin's. Thank you most kindly.

Ahha, climate change! I know, our weather has been off for the last five years or so. Snow in August, a nice summer's day in the fall... We never know what to expect.
