Here's the thing.
We all live in an incredible, precious, and - so far - unique place. It's an immense space ship, sheltering us from the cold and inhospitable blackness of space, flying us millions of miles each year. It is our home, it is our shelter, and it is all we have. There is no where else. This is it.
I'm talking about the earth, of course.
Whether you want to believe that the climate changes we're seeing are man-made or -influenced, or if you want to believe that there is a natural, periodic cycle that we're only seeing certain elements of, the fact is that climate change is happening. What we can and should do about it is becoming increasingly and alarmingly important and pressing.
And it's of immediate concern to billions (literally) around the world who are facing the clear and present dangers associated with this climate change.

Sadly, those who will be most impacted by this climate change are those least resilient to the change, especially in developing countries.
The world is a miraculous place, full of beauty and meaning and life. We should support efforts to reduce our impact on the world, taking real steps to preserve and protect our home. Because it's all we've got.
