The climate crisis: We can stop this madness.
Thousands in the Philippine Islands are dead after last week’s Typhoon Haiyan, the most recent reminder of what the world is coming to look like. This week and next, representatives from countries all over the world are meeting to negotiate a solution to the climate crisis. Yeb Sano, head of the Philippine delegation, feels they are not moving fast enough. He has vowed to fast until a “meaningful outcome is in sight.”
Thank God one person in a position to create change is willing to do what is necessary to force real action on what is looking like the greatest crisis the human race has ever faced.
