Blog Action Day To Fight Global Warming

October 15, 2009, bloggers around the world are uniting by writing blog posts to raise awareness about environmental issues. Specifically, they want to put it out in front of every person, in every corner of the planet, that climate change and global warming are forces that must be reckoned with.

Scientists, environmentalists and politicians have already acknowledged the issue of global warming. But, what is still up for debate, is what extent will Global Warming really have on the planet and the quality of life.

To address the issues of Climate Change and Global Warming, there will be UN Climate negotiations in Copenhagen, this coming December. Non-governmental organizations, delegates and businesses from every nation will meet to finalize a climate change agreement. But, there are concerns, that these decision-makers may not lay out a stringent enough agreement. Thus, allowing negative climate issues to increase faster than the positive steps being taken, to combat it.

In preparation for this upcoming landmark meeting, there will be events all over the world on October 24th, which is 6 weeks prior to the UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen. In conjunction with United Nations Day, it will be a international day to address climate action. Communities around the world will be holding rallies to let their leaders know what kind of action they need to take on climate change.

This is being seen as a great opportunity to become educated and be heard about these potentially catastrophic issues. October 24th is just a little over a week away, so the time is crucial. People can find a local event in their community, which will be participating in the International Day of Climate Action. Listed below, are some websites to refer to for more information about climate change. Also, readers are encouraged to seek out even more info from the never-ending database of knowledge, via the internet.

Once you've located an October 24th event in your area, you can make a commitment to be there. Also, feel free to share where you'll be that day and what you've learned. The action we choose to take, may very well influence the environment that our children's children will be left with.
