Today's a Global *Blog about Climate Change Day*

As I sit at my desk at WWF in Oslo I read all day about the environmental problems arising from climate change. This will happen, that will happen, you need to do this or that, etc. It's all the same gloomy picture. Although it be gloomy it is true. We can't ignore what has been done or what is happening. Like this article for instance is absurd:

Kid's in the future will probably learn Santa lives on a damn boat and then they will go take underwater tours of sunken cities.

Reading all the WWF info on their work in Norway is interesting. I'm specifically looking at the case against oil drilling in Lofoten where it is a strong fishing industry and critical habitat. Oil industries wish to drill there to help coninue the wealth of Norway via oil. It's interesting becuase as environmentally concious as Norway is, oil is the reason they are who they are today. The way they deal with oil though is a lot cleaner in policy than many other places at least. Oil Oil Oil

Also I must say it's interesting how its become "climate change" rather than global warming is an interesting swtich in terms. It's for the better I think, allows people to give a broader idea as to what exactly is happening rather than the idea that the world is baking in an oven.

So there you have it: a blabbering blog on climate change. Enjoy it, savour it, mull over the article, post your thoughts, and do your part.

Here's the WWF blog post on climate change:
