Every once in a while, you come across individuals who spark an unexpected change. Marcus Decker and Morgan Trowland are two such individuals. Remaining unbowed despite their trials, their dedication toward progress in the face of ongoing climate change crisis is beyond commendable. You might recall their names in the news, headlines resounding with accounts of their audacious protest atop Dartford Bridge on the M25. Why? To take a stand against oil dependency through the rapidly growing movement, Just Stop Oil. 

​

"You cannot create a change without being willing to risk it all. We were made scapegoats, but every great revolution started with a sound and resolute ‘no’ to the status quo. Our ‘no’ was atop the Dartford Bridge," these were the steely words of Marcus when I met him at HMP Highpoint.

​

Both Marcus and Morgan were slapped with hefty sentences following their peaceful climate protest, serving as pawns in a much larger game of power dynamics. Yet, these stinging consequences failed to diminish their spirits. Instead, it spurred them further, instilling in them a drive that is far from over. Today, their story continues to influence many, their resilience echoing the call for stark changes to achieve environmental justice. Join me as we delve into their journey.

​

At the very core of their narrative is the incident at the Dartford Bridge on the M25, a protest that echoed across the globe. What they regard as a necessary act of civil disobedience, the justice system harshly condemned as a public disturbance. However, we must understand that their intent wasn't to disrupt, but to draw attention to the pressing issue of climate change. 

​

The magnitude of their actions cannot be understated. Their choice to protest at such a recognized location firmly placed the focus on the degrading state of our rapidly warming planet. With symbolism thick in the air, Marcus and Morgan spurred an international conversation about our shared responsibility in the fight against climate change. 

​

It is crucial to remember that these activists sought peaceful civil disobedience as a means of protest. Vocal dissent is a fundamental democratic right, and they chose a path that would give voice to a cause often overlooked by those in positions of influence. 

 

Sometimes, the greatest acts of courage emerge from the unlikeliest of places - this includes HMP Highpoint, where both Marcus and Morgan continued to influence. Despite their circumstances, they have set their sights on affecting future policies, hoping to inspire active steps towards a greener, more sustainable future for us all. The resilience they've displayed, the message they've carried have undeniably sparked a change in perception about the urgency of climate change. 

​

To meet Marcus and Morgan is to be inspired by their tenacity and courage. Their imprisonment may have physically confined them, but their influence stretches far beyond those walls. In essence, their story behind bars acts as a potent reminder of why we must confront our planetary crisis head-on. Their relentless hope continues to propel the efforts of countless activists, influencing many to take action for our shared home - our earth.            

​

During my visit to HMP Highpoint, I was fortunate enough to cross paths with Marcus Decker, and subsequently, his ally in advocacy, Morgan Trowland. They are both active campaigners for Just Stop Oil. Marcus was given a two-year term, while Morgan was handed a three-year sentence. Their transgressions? They shut down the Queen Elizabeth II Bridge in a peaceful demonstration on October 17, 2022, in an act deemed as causing public disruptions. 

​

Just Stop Oil tends to hold the reputation of being a bother to most people, being viewed, more or less, as a thorn in the side. I too, like many, hadn't given much thought to their work or similarly motivated activists despite my own personal concerns about the environment. That is, until I encountered Marcus Decker, and our acquaintance bloomed into friendship.

​

My initial encounter with Marcus occurred in Spicepoint's Unit 3. His long-haired, bearded appearance often drew comparisons to Jesus Christ from others. Despite my status as a spice addict, Marcus never saw me as less. His innate kindness and consideration shone through as he constantly made time for me within his day. Individuals like Marcus are indeed a rare find in our world today.

​

Mostly, you'd find Marcus engrossed in chess at the communal table on the wing, squaring off with other inmates. I've tried to learn chess multiple times, but my memory issues always seem to get in the way. I can't quite grasp the mechanics of the game, which has always felt like a setback for me. But Marcus didn't give up on inviting me to join him, though I'd frequently opt out. He had this unique method where he would keep a written account of every move he made, possibly to improve his strategy by analyzing his past games. I remember, he once challenged me to a simplified version of chess, we swapped roles where he was down to one piece and I had all the pawns. But I was just no match for him.

​

My chance to delve deeply into conversation with Marcus on Unit 3 never struck - perhaps my daily pursuit of spice consumed my attention. Yet, his warm smile and gentle voice always resonated with me. Marcus seemed out of place at Spicepoint, contrasting starkly with the rest of us inhabitants. Caught in the sweeping net of harsh convictions, his political engagement truly bloomed the moment he scaled that bridge alongside his co-defendant.

​

In my mind's eye, I can still picture Marcus finding solace in a guitar during his time behind bars— a beacon of support for him in prison. We were on the same Art course, and his masterpiece—a vivid portrayal of that pivotal day on the Dartford Bridge of M25—is still etched in my memory. Marcus, with his distinct style, always seemed to be in loungewear —though designer in nature. And those shoes, displaying a touch of mystery, seemingly belonged to an elusive Italian brand. He carried a persona that evoked a sense of loyalty in me. I'd always back him up, come what may—that was the sort of impact he had.

​

Surprisingly, I was rerouted from Unit 3 and eventually found myself in Unit 9. Though to my relief, I found Marcus there as well. To top it all off, I was introduced to his renowned comrade-in-arms, Morgan Trowland, who just so happened to be a couple of doors down from me. Spicepoint had a knack for separating these two, and they managed to do just that within days of my arrival. The word on the grapevine was that a transfer to Unit 10, a wing specifically for lifers, was in the works for Marcus. Upon hearing this, Morgan nobly offered himself for the switch and made his exit. I had an opportunity to converse with Morgan before his transfer. However, there seemed to be a difference in character between him and Marcus. Morgan seemed to be wrestling with the situation more than one would expect, unlike the stoic Marcus.

​

In unit 9, I was fortunate enough to experience firsthand the musical prowess of Marcus. His guitar skills were exceptional, often capturing the attention of our shared space in the exercise yard. Just like myself, everyone would find themselves swaying and singing along to his tunes, a collective act of joyous escape. It didn't take long before the suggestion to start a singing club surfaced, and it was Marcus, in collaboration with the chaplaincy, who turned this concept into a reality. I was immediately extended an invitation, which I accepted without hesitation. However, I was absent during the initial session, a fact that passed my mind, most likely due to the toll of spice. But Marcus, ever the thoughtful individual, didn't judge or dismiss me for this. Instead, he sought me out, expressing his curiosity about why I failed to show up. He insisted on reminding me of the next week's session, a promise he kept, though I hardly needed it, as I was already prepared. Everything Marcus did was coated with a layer of genuine warmth.

​

The singing club was quite a hit and truly a joyful experience. Our collective voice echoed beautifully as we crooned classics like "Stand by Me". Although the opportunity to converse with Morgan was short-lived due to his preoccupations, it was undoubtedly Marcus's arena. I managed to participate in three sessions with the singing club prior to my release, and each one felt like a brief release from the confines of the prison-- precious moments that I hold dear.

​

Enveloped in the buzz of the exercise yard, I found myself sharing laps with Marcus. A creature of unique habits, he would always wander barefoot. We wove a conversation that dug deep into the underlayers of environmental concerns— a dialogue initiated by me, never forced upon. My own concerns about the environment often kept me up at night, especially with the recent catastrophic dam failures in Libya. As we tread the hardened earth under the open sky, a question emerged from inside me—could we actually reverse the climatic chaos, halt the emissions in their tracks, and recapture the errant carbon? Marcus appeared uncertain, mirroring the skepticism of a world too steep.

​

We explored several topics including technology and fusion energy. However, Marcus was of the view that these solutions wouldn't arrive quickly enough to ward off the worst impacts of global warming, if they come at all. Are we genuinely leaning on A.I. to navigate our way out of this crisis? It's true, A.I., with a mere $7 investment, managed to crack the complex German Enigma code in a swift 19 minutes. But so far, A.I. hasn't demonstrated it can offer foundational new inventions, a feat that's the hallmark of human creativity. It begs the question, can A.I. truly invent? And if it can and does contribute to scientific advancements, wouldn't that be an oddity?

​

We both concurred that we're in an intricate battle against climate change. Yes, our climate is warmer now, leading to yearly onslaughts of wildfires that push us further into the climate crisis. We touched on the topic of rainfall, mutually agreeing that the turmoil in Libya was indirectly a result of the heavy rains, a consequence of global warming. The narrative at the time painted Libya's warring factions as culprits for withholding development funds. Still, attributing the extreme weather to anything other than climate change is a mere escape from reality. Marcus acquainted me with a worrisome concept - Wet Bulb, a deadly situation where temperature and humidity surpass a critical limit, leading to potential human fatalities. The anticipation is that scenarios like this might become more commonplace as time proceeds. Our reliance on air conditioning might seem like a defense, but will it truly be sufficient to combat Wet Bulb if countries falter in producing and storing energy?

​

As the climate crisis deepens, rifts among nations are also likely to ensue – events reminiscent of human conflicts. For instance, when agricultural yields wane due to harsh conditions and water becomes a precious commodity, nations may pit against each other for resources. This reality is already unveiling as seen in current disagreements between countries. Take Egypt as an illustration. A formidable country in its own right, its sole reliance on the Nile for water presents a dilemma. With Ethiopia now planning to build a dam on the Nile for power generation, it puts a strain on their relationship. A full-blown war between Egypt and Ethiopia might seem far-fetched, but the contention is already there. The ticking time bomb of which climate-related casualty will strike first is unknown. Yet, the excessive list of possibilities grows with earth's warming, making resource scarcity a predestined outcome. Some may think living in an affluent country will shield them from the worst implications, but is this the self-serving mentality we've succumbed to? Have we become that dismissive of our shared plight?

​

Those in denial of our current climate crisis may as well be living in a fantasy world. We've constructed economies based on the illusion of endless growth, a narrative that's more dream than reality. The question arises - when do we draw the line? How many lives need to be lost to the destructive forces of global warming before we make the choice to take meaningful action? We have to rethink our economies which seem to be playing a part in the annihilation of various species one after another. Yet, the key question remains: Will we take steps to combat this issue before it takes the heaviest toll on our own species? Only time will tell.

​

There's no one-size-fits-all solution for climate change. It's crucial that the world's governments acknowledge the existing climate crisis and prioritize it as the urgent matter it is, in the process securing a future for our children. Reversing climate change can induce its own set of challenges, but at least it will give us time to brace ourselves. In stark contrast, with global warming, we're already racing against the clock. Don't become the naive soul who blindly places all their hopes on a single source — be it a person or advanced artificial intelligence — to clean up the mess that we, as a species, have created.

Having had the chance to interact with Marcus Decker, my worry for our planet's future, courtesy of the ravages of fossil fuels, has only increased. Let it be an important reminder that this earth does not belong to us, in reality, we're only stewards for a world granted to us by the Almighty. In every action, we ought to prioritize the preservation of the environment and it should be an ingrained principle in any economically sound society. Perhaps a fair judgment of our actions could be based on the number of species we manage to save before it's dreadfully late to make amends.

​

Before encountering Marcus Decker and the Just Stop Oil movement, the thought of joining such initiatives never significantly crossed my mind. Now, it's as if someone has flipped a switch inside me, shedding new light on my perspective. I'm committed to being more proactive in these causes, and my hope is to stir public awareness about the critical state our planet is in. This marks a pivotal moment in my life where my preparedness to infringe the law, as long as it brings harm to none, is outweighed by the need to fight a skewed economic and political system. If that leads me to incarceration, so be it; it would be a justifiable sacrifice. Here's to you, Marcus—a unique gem, truly one in a million.

​

It's not every day that you find yourself sitting across from individuals as determined, as committed, as Marcus Decker and Morgan Trowland. Both activists for the UK-based Just Stop Oil movement, they have made it their life's mission to draw attention to the urgent threat posed by climate change - a dire battle against time. Their actions, however, have landed them on the wrong side of the law.  

​

The source of their recent brush with legal turmoil? A daring act of protest. The Dartford Bridge on the M25 was their chosen site - an audacious move designed to make the world stand up and take notice. They were arrested and consequently handed hefty prison sentences. 

​

"The system wanted to make an example of us, a warning to deter future protestors," Decker confided when I met them both, then serving their terms, at HMP Highpoint. "We didn't harm anyone. We just wanted to be heard. Climate change is a real, existential threat and people need to start paying attention."

​

Their actions might seem extreme to some, but make no mistake, these are not common criminals. Were Decker and Trowland made scapegoats, bearing the excessive brunt of the law for having the audacity to care about our planet? As we delve deeper into their story, the lines blur between villainy and heroism, pushing us into the realm of moral complexity. 

​

• Marcus Decker: A former investment banker turned climate change activist. His transformation from corporate climber to climate crusader was triggered by the stark reality of climate change, which he witnessed first-hand on a trip to Borneo.

• Morgan Trowland: an engineer by training, turned resource management consultant, whose passion for environmental activism was ignited during his time working with underprivileged communities who bore the brunt of climate change's impact.

​

As we discuss their journey, their influences, and the consequences of their actions, remember this: Marcus and Morgan, they too, are people like us - ordinary people attempting to do extraordinary things for a world they deeply care about. This is their story, and its resonance can still be felt at HMP Highpoint to this day. 

​

Imagine a world characterized by unbearable heat, parched landscapes, and raging wildfires, punctuated by unprecedented floods and violent storms. Consider the thousands, millions, suffering in silence, their lives forever altered by the relentless, unending impacts of global warming. This is no longer a dystopian plot. It's a current and pressing reality we can no longer ignore. 

​

Across the globe, nations are grappling with the devastating influences of climate change. Whether it's relentless flooding, rampant wildfires, ceaseless droughts, or extreme storms, the wrath of global warming is unbridled and unrestrained. 

 

"We are not on the brink, we are deep in the midst of an ecological crisis."

​

And yet, despite the conspicuous evidence, the governments of the West continue to let their people down, exacerbating a challenge with unparalleled societal implications. We must confront this reality - our inaction serves as a silent, albeit deadly, form of genocide. 

​

But the burden isn't equally shared. Global warming is indeed a biased oppressor, disproportionately affecting communities of color in a twisted ripple of environmental racism. Despite lofty promises to curb climate warming, we continue to pedal on the gas, accelerating the global warming trajectory at an alarming rate. 

​

The time for bland statements and half-hearted promises is over. We must take bold and drastic measures, and we must do so now to mitigate the impending climate catastrophe. Strap in with us as we delve into this urgent topic to better understand the challenges and potential solutions at hand.

​

Let's set the stage with a perspective on the ravages of global warming. The earth’s climate has been significantly changing and its impact is felt universally. The signs are clearly etched upon the environment in the form of extreme weather events, which in some cases, have caused irreparable damage. 

​

Take for instance, the unprecedented wildfires in Western United States temperatures and extended drought periods, both of which are symptoms of a warming planet. According to climate experts, such wildfires are becoming the new norm, and we can anticipate fiercer and frequent occurrences in the future. 

​

Coming closer to home, the repeating episodes of intense heatwaves plaguing the European region are also results of the shifting climate patterns. Not just causing discomfort, these heatwaves lead to elevated mortality rates especially in urban areas. The future, unfortunately, holds a promise of even hotter temperatures, estimated to rise by an alarming 3-5 degrees Celsius. 

 

Another devastating indicator of global warming is the increasing intensity of tropical storms and hurricanes. The science behind this is straightforward: warmer oceans fuel these storms by causing more water to evaporate. Hurricane Harvey and Maria that wreaked havoc in recent years bear testimony to this. 

​

What's on the horizon? We are looking at rising sea levels, arguably the most threatening impact of global warming. A warmer climate results in the melting of glaciers and polar ice caps causing a rise in the sea level. According to some predictions, global sea levels are projected to rise by 1-4 feet by 2100. The consequences are potentially catastrophic, threatening coastal regions and island nations with increased flooding and eventually, submersion. 

​

Global warming doesn't discriminate; it affects us all, regardless of where we live. However, it’s also true that the less privileged and marginalized communities tend to suffer the most. For example, inhabitants of low-lying areas or small island developing states are disproportionately impacted by extreme weather conditions. 

​

The crux of the matter is that the dangers of global warming are not events of the distant future – they are happening now. Despite this stark reality, the response, particularly from the Western governments, has been disappointing. Instead of reducing emissions and promoting renewable energy, many are not only stalling on their commitments but actively exacerbating the situation. 

​

This is a collective problem and calls for collective solutions – a responsibility we all share. Delaying adequate action is tantamount to turning a blind eye to a slowly materializing genocide. Now is the time to hold ourselves accountable and compel our respective governments to uphold their commitments. We, as individuals, communities, and nations, need to start being part of the solution rather than contributing to the problem. The clock is ticking, and we must act now!

​

• The concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2)​​ in our atmosphere, as of 2021, is the highest it has been in human history.

• Around 800 million people, which is about 11% of the world’s population, are currently vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, such as droughts, floods, heatwaves, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise.

• Global warming has already resulted in a temperature increase of over 1°C from pre-industrial levels. This seemingly small increase has made extreme weather events more common and intensified their impact.

• As per reports by the Climate Accountability Institute, 100 major corporations are the source of approximately 71% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions over recent decades.

• Emerging and developing economies are the most vulnerable to global warming’s effects due to their limited resources to help populations cope with catastrophic events.

• Climate change disproportionately affects people of color and low-income population groups, creating a systemic environmental injustice issue.

• Major Western governments and corporations have continually failed to meet the emissions reduction targets outlined in the Paris Agreement.

​

Climate Change and Western Negligence 

You might find it mind-boggling that despite the stark scientific evidence and the escalating impacts of climate change, the significant players - the governments and large corporations of the West - have not lived up to their promises. In reality, they have often failed to deliver on their commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and in some cases, have increased their emission rates. This incognizance is causing an imperceptible albeit massive catastrophe, akin to a 'silent genocide.' 

​

This inattention and lack of requisite action is not just symptomatic of a lack of concern for the environment, but it reflects a deep-seated systemic issue. One that favors the privileged while overlooking the needs and challenges of the disadvantaged most affected by these changes. 

​

Climate Change and Systemic Racism 

Consider this. Floods, droughts, wildfires, and violent storms spurred by climate change, predominantly hurt those who are least equipped to cope or rebound. Often, these individuals and communities are disproportionately people of color or belong to low-income sections of society. Thus, climate change isn’t color-blind or 'class'-blind; its impact is reflective of social inequities and systemic racism. 

​

For instance, consider the extreme heatwaves. People of color are more likely to live in urban heat islands, areas that experience escalated temperatures due to human activities, including greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, they suffer disproportionate health impacts from these heatwaves. 

​

The Dire Need for Drastic Measures

It's time to face the undeniable truth: we aren't just poking the climate beast but are now actively whipping it into a frenzy. Reports suggest that we are indeed accelerating global warming, rather than decelerating it. With our current trajectory, grave, adverse effects are unavoidable. 

​

The need of the hour is to stop passing the buck. Major Western governments and corporations must take concrete steps – upon immediate demand – to curtail their emission rates. We need to push the causative agents to become part of the solution, rather than continue as exacerbators of the problem. 

​

When one broaches the subject of environmental conservation within the context of religious scripture, it can be illuminating. According to the Holy Bible, the responsibility of acting as stewards for the Earth and its resources has been entrusted to humankind. A particularly potent biblical passage that confirms this is Genesis 2:15: "The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it." 

​

This profound verse intimates that apart from reaping the benefits of nature, we're also burdened with the task of its protection and preservation. So, in essence, Bible-based teachings command us to protect the environment. It urges its followers to embody a sense of benevolence not just towards their fellow humans, but also towards the natural world that is so intrinsically tied to our survival. 

​

Reflecting on these values can inspire us to take a more proactive role in the fight against climate change. It reinforces the urgency of robust actions against environmental degradation, reminding us all that the onus falls directly on our collective shoulders. After all, if mindsets don't change, then environmental conservation remains but a distant dream.

​

But remember, dear reader, we all have a role to play. Everyday decisions such as what we consume, how we travel, and how we manage waste can contribute to global deceleration efforts. Together, we can help safeguard our planet for future generations.

​

Consider taking a stand with influential organisations like Just Stop Oil or Extinction Rebellion, wielding the torch of change for the safe and prosperous future of your offspring, and indeed, their lineage. It's been an era where colossal corporations have wallowed in a questionable cloak of legal protection, while seemingly sanctioning a demise, not only to human life, but all of creation's inhabitants.

​

Personally, I've fully immersed myself in the cause. I’ve joined Just Stop Oil, where I regularly attend soup nights and training sessions, and I've answered the call to action. I’ll be participating in the international response to the climate crisis scheduled for summer 2024. While this path may lead me back to prison, I believe it’s a worthy cause and a significant turning point in my life.

​

With Just Stop Oil or any other environmental protest group you do not need to step onto the frontline, action is not a requirement for participation. There are endless support roles available that do not risk arrest. Those that are brave enough to take action stand for the whole group. When I first joined Just Stop Oil I signed up for one of the many roles as court support. I attended Stratford magistrates court for the trial of Scott Hadfield, Anthony Harvey and Sarah Wilding. They were part of a larger group that took part in a road obstruction on the Embankment by Metropolitan Police HQ.

​

At the Stratford magistrates court I broke concentration and was drifting in and out of a sleep state whilst I sat there in the gallery. In conclusion they were all found not guilty despite being denied most of their legal arguments to their defence. The magistrate ultimately found them not guilty as the CPS and the Police had failed to show any proof of a significant disturbance.

​

I can't reiterate enough that we are deep into a climate emergency, governments of the West seem to ignore the red flags everywhere, they're still telling us that everything is ok whilst ecosystems are collapsing everywhere. We are not making progress quick enough and are set to miss all our targets on zero emissions. Even if the whole West met their climate goals by 2030 instead of 2050 the problems are likely to increase beyond that as there are countries that choose to continue burning coal to generate electricity as they see it as free energy of no consequence. Stealth taxes on all fossil fuels are now required to force nations to adopt cheaper and greener solutions. Why should I have many children to gift to humanity the continuance when their lives are likely to face apocalyptic events. We only have one viable planet around our star and we have failed to care for that planet. Continuing to burn fossil fuels like we do is unsustainable and not a viable option for a prosperous humanity. Something has to give and it should be the leaders of the free world explaining this to you all but they're all sold on never ending growth that only exists because of nasty murdering fossil fuels.

​​​

Your family can make a meaningful impact by opting for two vegan days each week. Make one of those days special with a treat from Domino's! Their plant-based pepperoni is delicious, and don't miss out on their plant-based garlic and herb dips, as well as their unique plant-based chicken nuggets. A truly delicious way to bask in vegan glory and by far healthier. Any steps in the right direction are better than the status quo.

​

We all have a part to play in saving the planet but the first step is to admit that things are far worst than they are. We have to face this problem head on as otherwise the children will never forgive us, it is they we are robbing from. Developed countries have a duty to agree to the www.fossilfueltreaty.org as we can still bring change before the worst of the events transpire. We must stand together and raise funds for developing countries to prepare for global warming. All people currently using fossil fuels have a price to pay to the poorest notions for bringing about their plight. We owe all of them and how dare we stand there rubbing our thumbs in their hour of need. These people have done less harm to the environment than the rest of us and how dare we abandon them when they're at their weakest. Humanity is not about looking out for your own its in showing love for all of Gods creations. Let us shine in history for doing the right thing, join the www.fossilfueltreaty.org and stand as Human in the fight of our generation. Together we can win, I have faith in you all!

​

Together we stand, together we fight. We will not leave your side! If we cannot save your lands we will find you new lands and we will help you every step of the way because we are Human and together we relish in Gods creation and we savour the embodiment of Jesus Christ, son of God, and Michael Ezare Barrett, Gods adopted son and brother to Jesus Christ alone. Together we will fight the war of modern man, global warming. Let the children innovate and lets build the tomorrow we seek. Together we achieve more and let it be said we are one in the war of Global Warming.

​

We British people do not turn our backs on the international community. The international community stands in a state of disaster and it is us people alone whom must repair this broken Earth. This is our only home, God give this to us and that is why we must fight to protect. We can no longer say global warming is not caused by human activity. We are all to blame for the errors of our ancestors, lets not pass the price to the children. The time for genuine action is now. We know deep down the error of our ways and its an expensive fix but we must try as giving up is not a option. We will all be poorer fixing the Earth but we will say we are on the righteous path and we own our errors.

 

More action is needed now as these next few years really serve to highlight how serious global warming actually is. We tread the stones of this destination together let us defeat global warming together and in doing so build the technologies of tomorrow.

​​

Developed countries need to act faster and a formal state of emergency needs to be declared by those countries so we can start tackling the causes of global warming. We all now how different the climate has become in just the last forty years, I remember bitter winters every-year as a child. Winters in the UK are now mild affairs we get much less snow and more intense rain. ​

​

Burning fossil fuels to generate electricity when green options are available should be viewed by humanity as a violation of their human rights. We can put enough green options in place to turn away from fossil fuels. The only thing stopping you doing so is cost! Too many greedy people whom all desire to be the richest person in the graveyard. Invest in the children and let them be your reward. For it is the children who we must prove ourselves to now. We can rely on green energy, there is enough but we must walk towards the greener options. The poorest countries will be given more time to go green and more help to do so but developed countries must act now. Ignorance is no longer a valid excuse for attacking God through the destruction of the fabric of life on Earth.

​​

Join me in the fight of our lives, we can do this together!

​​

We can still have a better the future, we owe it to the children. Now is the time to fix the broken mess we walked ourselves into. This is self inflicted and we must end this destruction of the environment before there is nothing left to save. Do not impose an apocalyptic environment on the children, God damn it to anyone that is human, remember our values and stand together in this war on the environment. We have the power to have a better future, it costs but we show every human quality on this path we tread together. May God give us the strength we need to heal these lands. This is our watch, the people of the future will judge us all harshly if we squander the realm that we call home. This Earth exists only because of God, do we dare to destroy God's creation. Is this what it is to be Human?

​​

All people need to fight this war as currently we're losing miserably. Too many people of power pushing the blood money round the corridors of influence. We must acknowledge how bad the situation actually is as otherwise I fear we will have no chance in the future that is creeping upon us. We must fight like our children's existence depends on it. We have no other choice. 

​​

Coal is not free energy! Coal is the dirtiest of all the fossil fuels and we know this and have done for years. Some poorer countries have over relied on coal for their electricity needs. You must turn away from this option and acknowledge the harm done by the dirtiest of fossil fuels. No more coal for electricity. Cars powered on electricity generated by burning coal do not have electric vehicles at their disposal but rather coal powered cars, this is how all nations should be thinking.

Climate Crisis by Michael Ezare Barrett

​​​

In the stillness of the fading dusk, we hear,
Cries from the ocean, loud and clear.
Forests fall with silent grace,
Leaving emptiness in their place. 

​​

Rivers dry, and fields lie bare,
Signs of a world that used to care.
Glaciers melt and waters rise,
A mirrored sorrow in our eyes. 

​

We who walk on borrowed time,
Must change our ways, turn on a dime.
Before the world we know has flown,
In nature's cries, our future shown. 

​​

Yet in the darkest storm and strife,
Hope can flourish, breathe new life.
Together, we can heal the land,
And leave a greener, gentler hand.
