About Me

Hello, thank you for visiting my profile :) My vision for a sustainable world is to help initiate a process that may decrease the use of non-renewable resources efficiently, limiting money and time being used, which would make for a faster decision being made and bill being passed. I believe we also have to analyse what exactly is the core of this problem. What is blocking our path from developing a sustainable world? I am looking forward to working in unity with other members of this program, to help make this vision a reality.

What is Climate Change?

In my opinion climate change is a natural process that if balanced cultivates life, for example, if it wasn’t for climate change we will have next to no chance of survival on the Earth as its climate may still be stuck in the Ice Ages. However, these natural processes are currently being accelerated due to human behavior leading to a rapid rise in global temperatures which is causing destruction.

How does global warming affect me?

Honestly, I am not directly impacted by global warming as we have the facilities to eliminate or reduce the impact of most problems regarding climate change and rising sea levels. We as more developed nations have to lend a helping hand to the less privileged who are facing these problems head on. However, on the door step of the region of Australia we live in, Townsville, lies the Great Barrier Reef the largest coral reef in the world. This remarkable ecosystem is facing a huge dilemma concerning coral bleaching, where the microscopic algae that live on these corals and feeds it simply abandons it due to ocean temperatures rising. After its only source of food is gone, the life of the coral is sucked out of it as is its colour.

Indigenous People and Climate Change

From the Bhutan Declaration on Climate Change and Mountain Indigenous Peoples:
“Even though we are suffering disproportionately from climate change impacts, we contribute the least to global emissions; nevertheless we have been marginalized from participating in the development and implementation of policies, programs, plans and actions related to our local adaptation.”**

Credit to the TIGed organisation and the Mountain Indigenous Peoples of Bhutan for providing us with this amazing perspective.

The way we live our daily lives and how much greenhouse gasses we emit might be truly effecting another person’s way of life. So this quote speaks for itself when it says that we should be conscious of our emissions and considerate of the countless communities that are suffering from this.
