The Impact of Climate Change Demands Change

FunWritings

There is no water to develop cities in some places anymore

Climate Change is causing people to feel insecure

When the river goes dry and people start worrying

We must change our ways before we all start crying

Climate catastrophes are not events we will see in the future, they are happening now

And it is best for us to take action by using the many ecofriendly tips somehow

East of Tucson the Saguaro National Monument at the foot of the Rincon Mountain Wilderness is where I parked, unpacked the photo gear and climbed the side of the Tanque Verde Ridge for a favorable view. Weather was pushing high level moisture from the west, clouds were developing.

You see here a shot from that session. In the distance, looking across Tanque Verde, are the Santa Catalina mountains. Months since the last rainfall, the giant Saguaros are using internal moisture reserves drawn up from a shallow root system, the flesh is less plump, the supporting structure of the ribs, always evident, are more pronounced. The last light catches these ribs in relief against a…
