# 15 High Water




We are in the middle of the Copenhagen Climate Change conference with 197 countries represented. Three of us got together over the weekend to stand with and demonstrate for the 350.org global grass roots movement to push our government representatives in Denmark to act now and commit to a strategy that will reduce the global emissions and bring our planet back into a more sustainable balance. Now in the middle of the second week of meetings it appears that business as usual is taking place and no agreement worth it's salt will be reached. According to the vast majority within the scientific community, this is our last chance to get our act together. To me what is most depressing about Climate Change is that it is literally last on the priority of concerns for Americans. Anyway with that said, my piece for the week is about the rising water associated with the great melt that is happening world wide. I found a piece of wood that looks like a roof top. CO2 is floated outside the roof and the green blue gels represent the high water that is flooding the house. New Orleans comes to mind...
