What happened to us last September 26, 2009 was mother natures way of awakening all of us....
Global Change
Changes in the global environment (including alterations in climate, land productivity, oceans or other water resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems) that may alter the capacity of the Earth to susta
in life. (from the Global Change Research Act of 1990)

Climate change will have
consequences for the Earth
system and human lives .
Melting of ice sheets and glaciers, combined with the
thermal expansion of seawater as the oceans warm,
is causing sea level to rise. Seawater is beginning to
move onto low-lying land and to contaminate coastal
fresh water sources and beginning to submerge
coastal facilities and barrier islands. Sea-level rise
increases the risk of damage to homes and buildings
from storm surges such as those that accompany
hurricanes.

Act now to prevent future world hunger
Climate change will drastically reduce wheat and rice production
if nations don't take steps now to prepare.
Solving this problem is doable,
if the world has the will to tackle it.
