One of the reasons why I started this blog was to talk about Climate Change and to express some of my own concerns about why I feel it is such an important topic.
In my opinion, there is no other topic deserving more attention!
Oh, sure, there are many other things on the popular political agenda today — and there are many day-to-day frustrations we all have to deal with in our own lives — but Climate Change, if you believe it is actually happening, means so much more. Because, if Climate Change is real — and I believe it is — then all the other worries we have today won’t really matter in the long run.

What is happening with the latest meeting of world leaders about the Kyoto Protocol is just plain sad. There’s no other word to express how greed and politics are causing poor decisions to be made in this regard.
You have probably heard the old tale told about how people determined if a place was safe for humans, right? That’s the one where they send in a canary first. If the canary makes it out alive, then it was alright for the humans to enter. If the canary didn’t return, then it wasn’t safe.
Well, this morning, I was introduced to a video which talks about saving songbirds. It is a long video, but I do hope you will set aside the time to watch it. It’s beautiful to see so many of the songbirds up close and personal, but it also brings up an important point. If something is happening to the birds, then there is something we humans should be paying attention to!!
Here’s a link to the video — please take time to watch it.
Have a great weekend.
Be well — be in peace,
