The last time I wrote about
global warming,the collapse of ice sheets and rising sea level several readers
contacted me with views ranging from “Stop scaring my children” to “Don’t you
know climate change is a hoax”. We all have our opinions but today there is
overwhelming evidence that the world is getting warmer.
The people of the Carteret
Islands are only the beginning. Nearly one third of the Earth’s population
lives in low lying and flood plain areas and will be effected by global
warming. After the Carteret Islands are vacated and of no use, what community
will be the next victim of global warming and our all-consuming economy?
As I sit at my desk I can
see the faint haze of pollution over the city; the small cost of doing business
as usual. How do I manage to take this for granted? How can I live with it and
forget what I am doing to the Carteret Islanders?
