Our Climate is Changing – What can we do?
ACT!
The time to act is NOW!
And we must act SMART!
And we must act TOGETHER!
And we must act with FORCE!
When we look at the scenarios that Climate Science is now showing, it is easy to feel more than a little desperate and overwhelmed.
But we can not stop there, the time to turn the ship around is now!
Later on, it will be … too late.
We can also not wait until somebody else is saving the world.
We, the people have to get up and change what we can change to reverse the course that humanity has walked blindly for the last 100 years or so.
This – still beautiful – Earth is all we have.
And she is rapidly changing.
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!
Let’s not sit at home on our ass, eating our Burgers.
Let’s get out and talk to our neighbors about the crisis.
Let’s start grassroot movements of creative change.
Let’s call up our political representatives.
Let’s take to the streets in protest the powers to be.
Let’s join the revolution!

I’m a teacher working with young children. I am at a loss for how to speak to them about climate change. Their parents and most adults they know generally live as though resources are limitless. We are hypocrites, perpetuating a harmful charade. William Vollmann wrote: “Someday, perhaps not long from now, the inhabitants of a hotter, more dangerous and biologically diminished planet than the one on which I lived may wonder what you and I were thinking, or whether we thought at all” (quoted in The Uninhabitable Earth by David Wallace-Wells).
I feel ashamed to look my students in the eye – their lifetimes will likely extend past the year 2100, and they would be right to question what the adults in their lives were thinking.
