7 Pictures (with no Polar Bears) to Explain Climate Change and What We Can Do About It

1: We humans like to move things--

2: Here's how we turn gas into the energy we need to move things--

3: From the family photo above, this is the dude who causes problems for humans--

4:  More  CO2 works like an invisible blanket for the earth, trapping more energy from the sunlight in the atmosphere; more energy means more severe weather patterns among other things--

6: We're not 'bad' because we like to move things--

7:  Just like a kid isn't bad for poopin' its diaper--

8:  But we are making a mess, and now there are simple tools, like the one below, we humans can use to begin cleaning up our mess. https://chooose.today/

Carbon offsetting is one tool that invests in projects to remove CO2 from the air while making it more expensive for big polluters to pollute.  It's not 'the' answer, but it is a brilliant tool should you choose to use it.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.

I can't believe that is true!... but I also couldn't believe it wasn't butter.  No really. That stuff was actually butter right?
