The scientific community has concluded that climate change is a real phenomenon. Even the predictions that are most moderate indicate the Earth warming several degrees Celsius by the year 2100, which is an alarming increase. Of the issues affected by this problem, Rivers are among the most hurt.
The scientific community has concluded that climate change is a real phenomenon. Even the predictions that are most moderate indicate the Earth warming several degrees Celsius by the year 2100, which is an alarming increase. Of the issues affected by this problem, Rivers are among the most hurt. In this all-important bodies of water reside fish, the canary in the coal mine of global warming. As a result of climate change, river water temperatures have steadily risen thirty-five to forty degrees over the last few decades. This causes fish from southern waters to migrate north, causing competition for food. Similarly, parasites accustomed to warmer areas are having to move northbound as well, infecting fish and other species who are not accustomed to their presence. This spreads quickly to other animals that depend on the fish, such as bears, eagles, and even humans. Consequently, River Climate Action has been announced by Rushing Rivers Institute. Drawing on their scientific expertise, community relations and belief in educational resources, River Climate Action will call upon a global river authority to take a stand against Global Warming River Climate Action has outline several goals to see this through. First, extensive research to establish the best action and recommendations. Second, the most appropriate, inobtrusive way to implement these recommendations. Third, establishing networks and communication between other groups and institutions with similar goals. While the solutions for stopping Global Climate Change may be debtable, all can agree that apathy is the worst of resolutions. If a stand is not taken now, the problem may become too great to be remedied in the future. Your first step is to educate yourself on the issue. River Climate Action and Rushing Rivers strongly encourage you to further involve yourself in the issue. By visiting our web-page at http://www.riverclimate.org, you can find out not only more about the issue, but ways to help. We appreciate your support and involvement.
