There is no doubt that climate change (along with many other factors) is affecting the planet negatively. The fact that people have their doubts (tens of thousands of scientists have signed petitions to that effect, for example) about the root causes of this climate change is something that should be recognized. I personally believe that we should focus less on blaming humans and focus more on all the things we as a society can and should do. Build sand dunes from Christmas trees, re-duce/use/cycle, plant a tree, get your office building a recycling program, or just buy some coffee mugs from Goodwill and replace the ‘disposable’ styrofoam cups. There are thousands of small things we can each do to make a huge impact. In short, let’s all try to be the best stewards of Earth, no matter what the cause is. Getting hung up on that is just wasting our breath, and you know what I am talking about.

I like Earth; treat her well so our future generations can enjoy her beauty.

Despite the evidence and the changes going on around the world people are still slow to react. I do hope that as a species we can focus our strengths and adapt before too much is lost. .-= Anil´s last blog ..Interview With Stephane Pingaud About New Service Cost4Travel =-.

This is becoming more and more an issue for the world. Many Pacific islands are in peril to rising waters and many cities lie in low lands relying on manmade efforts to protect them. .-= Mark H´s last blog ..Beyond the Bears (Churchill, Canada) =-.

Pretty scary stuff. I lived on the Outer Banks of North Carolina for 10+ years and they, too, are disappearing. Everywhere, I see evidence of man's attempt to "control" the environment, which always leads to disaster. We need to learn to live with nature, rather than try to control it. .-= Barbara @ Hole In The Donut Travels´s last blog ..Amazon Reveals New Kindle – Perfect for Travelers =-.

Amen, Shannon, nice post. I learned a bit about this when I went to New Orleans last year. I really had no idea how badly we human beings had damaged the environment of coastal Louisiana until then. I think anyone traveling to New Orleans should take the time to see the IMAX movie "Hurricane on the Bayou". It certainly had an impact on me. I hope it's not too late to reverse that damage, because the thought of a world without New Orleans is really depressing. .-= Gray´s last blog ..5 Simple Ways Solo Travelers Can Save the Planet =-.
