Climatic Changes and global warming

Submitted by cadiegail24 on August 26, 2010 - 3:32am

Enough carbon dioxide has already built up that it imperils islands, coastlines and a fifth to two-thirds of the world’s species, according to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

In Africa, 75 million to 250 million people will suffer water shortages by 2020; in Europe, there will be extensive species loss; and in North America, there will be longer and hotter heat waves. In Asia, large cities will be at great risk of river and coastal flooding, not to mention the poor being the most affected due to food and water shortages.

At a recent international conference on climate change organized by The Nation and Asia News Network (ANN) in Bangkok, businessmen, policymakers and environment experts discussed Asia’s emerging response to the problem.

If we don't do anything, the end of the world really possible.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
