NOVEMBER 13 and 14, 2015
 A DAY TO MAKE CLIMATE CHANGE HISTORY


Source: Climate Reality Project

For years we’ve watched our climate change. We’ve watched glaciers melt, seas rise, and storms get fiercer. We’ve watched this new reality transform our lives while too many leaders just stood by.

24 Hours of Reality and Live Earth: The World Is Watching, a global day of climate action and music hosted by former US Vice President Al Gore, is right around the corner. And with the historic UN climate talks beginning in Paris on November 30, now is the time to speak up louder than ever before. 
By participating in The World Is Watching, you can personally make a difference in the greatest challenge of our lifetimes. 

This is our moment. With the Paris climate talks approaching, a breakthrough is finally at hand. The stage is set and it’s time for our leaders to act. The world is watching.

Join our Thunderclap and tell your friends, family, and social media networks that you are urging world leaders to create a strong agreement in Paris.

More Than Scientists: The people behind climate science

Click here to see the videos....and maybe submit one of your own? If you do, please let us know and we'll also post it on our website if you'd like.

Excerpt from the Climate Reality website
We are scientists. We span the fields of scientific inquiry, span the political spectrum, and the nation. We are dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge, understanding. We represent the more than 97% of scientists who believe climate change is happening, that it is due to our actions and that it is within our power to keep it from being devastating. And we’re concerned. We are more than scientists. It will take more than science. It will take us all, working together, for a better future.
