Pam Lazos, writing at Green Life Blue Water, observes the signs of climate change around her in Central Pennsylvania. Troubled by the “unknown unknown,” using the “tortured phraseology” of former Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, she calls on us to face reality and cure our global bipolar disorder.
We all know the truth: it’s time for an intervention. We can help Mother Nature deal with her issues because we are her issues. The government is not going to save us and neither are the aliens, in case you were wondering. The only ones who can save us are us. It’s time to do what we do best as a country — solve problems, innovate, lead so others might follow. The payoff — as if saving the planet and ourselves wasn’t enough — is that there’s a heck of a lot of money to be made in green technology, but first, we need to cure our global bipolar disorder and think things through in rational, logical terms.

As I wrote also for Pam’s post:
I am absolut in. I decided this summer after a unprecedented heat wave and so many worrying news about wild fires, melting of permafrost and the Arctic Ice that I have to do something. I am sure, everyone of you is already doing what they can. However, if you want to do something more, join the “Fridays for Future” or “Climate Strike” movements. There will be a global climate strike week from 20th-27th September (https://www.fridaysforfuture.org or search for it in Facebook/Twitter) with events everywhere. The demonstrations I visited so far were absolutely peacefully and people of all generations take part. Join us! 🙂

I read this post and reflect about a new hurricane brewing near us in the Caribbean.

Stay safe, Jim. With an overheated ocean, each new hurricane brewing can develop into a monster storm.

“Perhaps if we clear-cut fewer forests, the ones that make way for raising beef cattle and grew more sustainable products instead, we’d stand a better chance…” This reinforces my decision to not eat beef and to continue moving toward a totally plant based diet. This is something we can all strive for in addition to protesting, writing, campaigning, and voting.

I agree, JoAnna. It’s definitely one of the lifestyle changes that beef-eating lovers would have to make. I eliminated beef from my diet during my Brazil days, when my primary care physician recommended that I do so to help reduce my high cholesterol level. I continue to do so to this day.
