The Tyranny Of Climate Change

The Urban Rural Cause & Effect Relationship

www.climategrump.net

We have seen a lot of this lately

...and a lot of this

Images that tell us more than words that our climate is changing

Climate change is the cumulative impact of a

100 years of carbon emissions from fossil-fuel

based industrial development that has enriched many of our

lives

Most of us who have benefitted from this development compound this by living in

cities. Urban consumerism is now accelerating

industrial demand for our world’s natural resources.

We are now part of the Problem.

Rural communities in the semi-arids are one of the three global

communities(coastal communities in danger of inundation and Himalayan communities dependent on glaciers for water, are the other

two)

who will be most affected by Climate Change.

Ironically, the people who will suffer the most from

Climate Change are those who have contributed the

least to it

For the people who will be most impacted, Climate

Change is an act of Tyranny.

Unknowing, yet tyrannical no less

We are part of the Problem. Can we also be

part of the Solution?

Climate Change is rooted in our colonial past. The industrial revolution it

fostered, & in the attitudes towards our natural

resources that continue to define the exploitation of

our world

All of us have benefited from our colonial past & from the benefits of a

capitalist economy

We owe it to our children & those affected the most, a historical responsibility to correct the mistakes of the

past

The tragedy as the world dithers about who should pay how much is that the

inevitable tyranny of climate change is

becoming less & less an act of ignorance

YOUhave the power to make a

change.USE your power!
