Global Warming's Effects On Humankind

[Terresa Eyman]

Around us today there is a movement building, it's called the Climate Change movement. Through this movement, you have the opportunity to add your voice and be part of something big. Below are three ways that you can join the movement! And the best part is you don't need to travel far. In fact, you can stay where you are right now and take part in some of these "actions," right from where you are sitting! Timing is everything though. We have a unique opportunity. Governments are poised to meet at the highest levels in Copenhagen from December 7-18th, to discuss one topic - climate change. This is a unifying issue the world over that affects us all. It is an issue that we all need to take action. Governments are listening, will you be heard?

Come on, who doesn't in some way. If you are selling solutions to business's challenges I will guarantee you run into this every day. Frustrating isn't it dealing with climate crisis Deniers?

While Americans are suing their doctors, much of the world wishes they had one. While Americans throw tantrums because they have to wait in line at the grocery store, half of the world's population is going to bed hungry. Enter each day with thanksgiving in your heart and walk into your workplace with joy. You'll be amazed how positive your attitude will become once you begin counting your blessings.

The egomanic- I love these folks. They have an excuse or answer for everything and when I say answer I mean excuse. These people still think the world is flat no matter how much evidence you show them. Nothing that goes against their personal viewpoint will ever be accepted. You can give them a long list of proven - whaevers - and they will refuse to budge. They will go down in flames before they will be willing to climate change solutions or see the light.

Our environment affects us. People who live in a dirty environment are more susceptible to sickness. People who live in a very cold climate develop a tolerance to cold weather. People who live on the coast tend to eat more seafood.

Examples of what you can't change: the past, your family or other people, the global or local economy, climate or the government (at least, not until elections!). Avoid dwelling on these sources of depression--you'll just beat your forehead bloody, right into a brick wall. Move on.

Identify the Triggers Depression is caused by a trigger of some sort. There are a number of causes, too numerous to list here, but generally there are two main categories of triggers: trauma of one form or another, or stress. Another trigger that causes depression is a chemical imbalance, or psychiatric condition. If clinical depression runs in your family, stemming from a mental or psychiatric disorder or chemical imbalance, then I can tell you that this article will be of little help. You'll need to speak with a counselor or psychologist, or other mental health professional.

Let's hold our judgment until May when the full U.N. report comes out. When it does we would be wise to focus on the science to the best of our ability.
