FOREST
 
ROCKY NATIONAL PARK BEFORE: Healthy pine trees stretch for tens of millions of acres in the northwestern United States and western Canada.

ROCKY NATIONAL PARK NOW: A hillside of dead pine trees killed by Mountain Pine Beetles shows the effects of warming temperatures in the mountain ranges. In the past, freezing temperatures reduced insect populations. The beetles are now able to survive the milder winters leading to devastating infestations.

REEFS
THE GREAT BARRIER BEFORE: Considered one of the most biologically-diverse regions in the world, Australia's Great Barrier covers around 135,000 square miles, or an area that's nearly the size of Texas. Ocean acidification and temperature increases from  climate change are the reef's biggest long-term threat.

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF NOW: Warmer water temperatures trigger widespread coral bleaching, when coral turns white and is much more susceptible to death. Coral is vital to supporting ocean life.
 Now... enormous areas of the reef have been bleached as coral creatures die from too warm temperatures
 
CORAL REEFS BEFORE: Corals seen in Dibba, located on the east coast of the northern Emirates, are healthy and teeming with fish in 2004.

CORAL REEFS NOW: The reef was devastated in 2008 by harmful algae blooms known as red tide, potentially linked, in part, to increased greenhouse gases and rising ocean temperatures. The tide kills sea life by depleting the oxygen in the water.
Same reef today after death was caused by Red Tide Algae. Massive growth of the algae due to global warming and greenhouse gases
 
THE DANUBE RIVER BEFORE: The Danube, Europe's second longest river, flows eastward from its source in Germany to the Black Sea in Romania. The Danube river basin is critical to supporting industry, transport, agriculture, and fishing.

THE DANUBE RIVER NOW: Between 2011 and 2012, a persistent drought led to record-low water levels along the Danube, stranding boats and paralyzing parts of the busy waterway.
 Danube after two year drought lowered water levels so much, ships were stranded in mid stream
 
SAN BLAS ARCHIPELAGO BEFORE: The San Blas islands in Panama are home to the Guna people. Their traditional thatched-roof houses and ancient way of life are being threatened by climate change.

'A picture is worth a thousand words', so they say.
 What do you say??

    Climate change --- global warming is accelerating at a faster pace , look at the time frame of the photos. It was a little more than a century for the top glacier also Muir glacier is 115 year difference . We get a kick out people saying we don't know what we are talking about that we are saying what grown ups are telling us well they are wrong on both counts we do research and get our articles from reliable sources ...scientists and people that's been in this for years , it makes us feel good to make them look silly .
    Yes a picture is worth a thousand words and more .
    We were having such a great time with mama and daddy , mama got her email post from Mr.Jackson , he sent mama a box of chocolates last week as a thank you gift , boy they were good . Mama check all the blogs and posts when she return she wasn't smiling daddy asked her what was wrong she just shook her head and went outside . We asked daddy to see why mama was upset , he did but he told us nothing saying mama just need to try and understand why , we asked why what daddy laugh and went back out to play with mama . Mama is smiling now , we asked her what was it , mama said nothing to worry your heads about , it will past .
    Well we are making plans for the twins.
    Jonny said to tell you it was no one in the Bossier rally just some fools hecklers the crowd and pushed someone .
    These photos are very important , seeing is believing .
    Much love

    Global warming is occurring twice as fast as scientists thought it would. I should build a library of photos to use as proof.
    Those people who think you are little parrots, repeating what your parents say, are dumb and they haven't kept up with kids these days. Kids, now, are much smarter than we were; they do their own research and they are computer literate with all the information in the world at their fingertips. And you can't mess with their heads because they're level headed and know more about the world than a lot of adults.
    I think Mr. Jackson is a brilliant man and it's awesome that he sends Mama his articles. Apparently he knows his chocolates too. I love caramel and strawberry cream centers if he is interested...hahahaha!
    I am happy Mama is smiling again because with the twins coming, she will have her hands full with a house full of teenagers. I bet you will have a bunch of fun with those guys.
    I'm glad there were just hecklers at the Bossier rally. They are usually bored people with too much time on their hands. They need to do something useful. I'm pretty sure you guys can handle them.
    Thanks for the kudos Crusader
    Much love
