“Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.” - Henry David Thoreau
From as early as the early 1800’s, humans were already beginning to ignore their responsibility to the earth. Only until we began to see the consequences of our action, did we start to take action. Even then, much of the population still choose to ignore the warning signs, while some fully understand the seriousness of the problem, but just fail to act. With the ice caps melting, climate change becoming more and more of a problem, and many other factors, we seem to be heading into turmoil if nothing is done. Due to our use of fossil fuels and green house gas emission, we have successfully been able to prove Thoreau wrong, and “lay waste the sky”, almost as bad as we did to the earth.

Environmental activists lament the inability of people to prioritize the issue of climate change, often pointing to shortsightedness and the incapacity to focus on an issue whose effects seem intangible and far off. These facts are seen has major reasons why climate change is consistently marginalized in international and domestic policy discussions. However one must only pick up a recent newspaper to see that in fact the affects of climate change are already impacting many around the world, and will continue to do so. The affects of sea level rise is just one area in which the impacts of climate change are being felt.

Our generation of humanity, those of us living right now, have a heavy cross to bear. Day to day, the fight against climate change is put in terms of ten, fifty, or hundreds of years, if not much more.
