A Positive View of Rio+20

EarthAction's friend and colleague Josep Xercavins I Valls, Professor at Technical University of Catalonia, and President of the WDGpa – World Democratic Governance project association, attended Rio+20 and sent us this review that focuses on the positive outcomes of this important gathering. Xercavins I Valls finds many steps presented in the agreed upon final document that can lead us to a more just, sustainable and equitable world.

Climate Change: It's real, it's happening. It's going to get a lot worse.

3,282 hottest temperature records broken or tied in June, 2012. via the National Climate Data Center.

Bill McKibben has an article about the climate crisis in the August 2nd issue of Rolling Stone. It's more than sobering. McKibben pulls together the numbers and facts that confirm what we all know in our bodies, hearts, and heads about climate change. It's real, it's happening. It's going to get a lot worse. 

Read it and weep. 

Read it with compassion for all the animals and plants that will struggle through a future with increasingly severe droughts, famines, floods, hurricanes, tornados, typhoons, etc.. 

Read it and organize. 

In solidarity,
