– Sure, “climate change has brought about possibly permanent alterations to Earth’s geological, biological and ecological systems. These changes have led to the emergence of large-scale environmental hazards to human health, such as extreme weather, ozone depletion, increased danger of wildland fires, loss of biodiversity, stresses to food-producing systems and the global spread of infectious diseases. In addition, climatic changes are estimated to cause over 150,000 deaths annually.” Wikipedia.

Once again you have captured the essence of what should evoke rage in all of us.

That said, what are we doing differently?
