This weeks list which has the climate change sites are great. I feel so much that people have their head in the sand about climate change. In my work environment (I'm a nurse at a hospital in Ontario), no one speaks about it, they live in their little world (who are you dating, going shopping, how big is your house?) and I can't even approach the subject. I would be on a pulpit "preaching", which I don't want to do. But I'll take the sites you've listed and put them on my Facebook page, and those interested can read, and maybe become more knowledgeable. I will retire in 2 years. I am preparing for that time, but I'm equally preparing for climate change. Garden raised beds are being constructed now. Chickens are coming soon. To be brutally honest, I feel isolated in the way I think. To be "unprepared" seems to be more acceptable. The sites you have provided are obviously well researched by The Guardian.

Its sad how much things have changed I think in many ways, the move back to more natural play spaces here warms my heart! <br /><br />xxEmma Christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08500696381837942950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-47438253036865537432016-06-24T08:45:27.778+10:002016-06-24T08:45:27.778+10:00The lovely thing a bout flowers is that they span ...The lovely thing a bout flowers is that they span generations. My mother and Nan used to love to grow simple flower beds and also buy fresh flowers from the markets very, very cheaply during the war time to add cheer to such a dire time. the viola's and roses are simplicity at its best and have been enjoyed by many of our ancestors I am surePhil Poggeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528068263542083696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-37661613814207305442016-06-24T05:41:05.788+10:002016-06-24T05:41:05.788+10:00I watched a BBC documentary this week about global...I watched a BBC documentary this week about global weirding. It gave the best explanation I have ever seen regarding how hurricanes form. Climate change is beyond an emergency now, humans have responded with too little too late, all we can work towards now is mitigating the effects.
