South Florida Climate Change Master Plan

Submitted by Kevin Hansen on January 17, 2012 - 15:20

Wise planning.

Four major counties in Southeast Florida in the US, including the heavily-populated Miami-Dade County area, understand what municipalities across the planet have already learned:

Climate change is already here.

Responsible government officials must take prudent measures to reduce risk and plan for uncertainties.

This is good governance.

Cheers,

Not Hotter, Not Drier, Not Here.

New Mexico is one of the hottest, driest States in the US. Because of global warming, it is getting a lot hotter, a lot drier.

Especially in the United States, we need to pass bold, comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation. 1Sky.org is leading in the US - join the movement. Take action. Make history, especially for the already-dry southwestern US, where conditions are worsening. In Mexico City this year, the United Nations COP16 event will try to extent this work to a global treaty

Ask your freinds and other citizens to take action.

Educate yourself.

Motivate yourself.

Change the world.

A wonderful short video, beautifully done, showing how we all live on a shared planet, much like a 'condominium' - where everybody has to get along because we all share everything!

Mother Earth shows us the trash that covers the world in 2027, all because we couldn't find time to recycle.

Global warming has ended all snow, even on New Year's Day. Come and see all the presents we left today for our children of tomorrow.

It's the year 2075 and Pierre and Mother Earth have found that the ice has melted off of Antartica.  Where did it all go?  Why did we let the world warm up?  Pierre takes a silly look at global warming.

In the year 2075 AD, Pierre and Mother Earth visit New-New York, located on a mountain top in Antarctica, one of the few dry places left on Earth since all the glaciers melted and flooded the world.
